Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
I went to a friend’s house yesterday and we went for a walk. Found this beautiful, HUGE, bolete and one other she kept…She was gracious enough to let me take this one home. Just so you know, that knife is my 10″ chef’s knife…that is a huge mushroom! It was pristine. Not a bug in…
December is a big birthday month: my dad, my father-in-law, and my mother-in-law all have birthdays close together. Well, this year was the big 80th for my father-in-law so we wanted to have a large to-do to celebrate. I offered to cook and outdo myself in every dish I could. I think I succeeded. I…
As I pointed out in my last article, we were a bit late for porcini season this year. But not so late that we didn’t get any at all. We had a couple of beauties! On the first night we didn’t have the time or the materials for a barbecue so we just sautéed the…
We head up to Mendocino every Thanksgiving. We’ve been going up for about 10 years. The purpose of the trip is to crawl through the woods looking for fungus. Some years it’s quite successful. Other years, not so much. This year we were a bit late for the porcinis. we found a few to grill,…
I could do a whole, “I’m thankful for my family and friends” post but, let’s face it, this is FoodPorn! You don’t care about that stuff. It’s about the food. I’m thankful for: My meal at the French Laundry Farmers Markets Fresh fish My tastebuds having decided to like sausage and salt-cured pork Wild mushrooms…
We had three bottles of Syrah to drink: ’03 Cornas from France, ’00 Hardy’s from Australia, and ’02 Ridge from here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I wanted to make a special dinner for our cousin’s birthday, but we don’t really eat much meat so I had to find something involving fish that would go…
This is a quick and easy, tasty mexican-style dinner. Outside of the guacamole, it’s all ingredients that are easy to keep on hand and you can use fish, shrimp or chicken…even beef I guess although I’ve never tried that. Put 2 dried ancho chiles in a dish w/ enough boiling water to cover them. Let…
Imagine my surprise when I went to link to my waffle recipe and it wasn’t on the site! I’ve got pictures of the waffles on the site, you can get a coffee mug with them on it but I’d never put up the recipe! D’oh! I make a double batch of waffles and freeze the…
One day my lovely friend who DJs at KFJC discovered my site and asked if I wanted to be on the radio with her. SURE! I said. So I went, we talked, we had a blast and here’s the transcript:Rocket J. Squirrel: This is Chantrelle we’re talking to. Hi! So, I got all excited about…
It’s been six years since my first trip to the French Laundry. I’d heard rumors that Thomas Keller had spread himself too thin, opening too many restaurants, too many projects, that the French Laundry had slipped and wasn’t as good as it used to be. I don’t know what these people are talking about!! And…
I made this soup a few times last year and each time I had to wing it because I forgot to write down the recipe. I had told my mom how I made it though and so this year she sent me the ingredients which had no amounts. So I was sorta winging it again…
Way back in June, FoodPorn.com turned 10 years old and I held a recipe contest to celebrate. It took me way too long to cook the recipes but I now have a winner (unanimous among the family too I might add!): ADRI!! You can choose anything you’d like from the FoodPorn store. This was so…
I make ahi tartare almost every Wednesday. It’s different every week depending on what’s in season, or what I have in the fridge. Every week it’s good. This week’s was amazing!! 3/4 lb sashimi-grade ahi tuna, diced1 shallot, minced1/2 Japanese cucumber, diced1 clove garlic, finely minced3 T parsley, chopped2 T basil, chopped1/4 cup toasted pine…
I twittered this recipe the other night but don’t want to lose it, the sauce was great!! It was the first time I’d ever made Bolognese. Can’t say it’s quick but it’s still easy and rich and so yummy. 1 lg onion, 2 stalks celery, 6 cloves garlic. Add about 1c. chopped pancetta: Add 1…
Trevese Just found out Trevese has closed its doors. Guess my scathing review was a little late! Our 10 year wedding anniversary snuck up on me somewhat. We’d gone on vacation, had been preparing for our son to start kindergarten, and summer was just flying by. But at the last minute I found a babysitter…
