Tasty Treat Tuesday: Fun New Recipes
Being a foodie often involves the glorious discovery of new recipes. Sometimes I find recipes in the newspaper (or more recently while reading stories online).
Here are a few that I’m hoping to try once my bum shoulder fixes itself:
Nigella Lawson’s Sauternes custard
Alton Brown’s Ramen Shrimp Pouch: this is one recipe that I think will lend itself well to adaptation. I’d love to add tofu or sesame oil and cilantro to this recipe.
Anthony Bourdain’s boeuf bourgignon
AB bought me a new cookbook, a wonder of a book that is brimming with gorgeous pictures and glorious cooking ideas. So my latest addition to my cookbook library is Michel Richard’s “Happy in the Kitchen” which includes a foreword by Thomas Keller. In this foreword Keller refers to Richard’s culinary techniques as “incredibly original and ingenious.” I can only hope to gain just a fraction of said genius as I move through this book’s amazing catalog of recipes. I’m especially looking forward to making the lobster burger, the asparagus-stuffed salmon, the oxtail in pasta ring, and the chocolate popcorn.
So I urge you to take an active interest in cooking by reading more. There are so many recipes out there and sometimes it’s just serendipity that leads to the next great meal…
