People and Passions: An Introduction

March 6, 2016January 26, 20171 Comment

  You know those people you run into standing in line at the grocery or on an airplane or seated at the table next to yours at a restaurant? Those people who really intrigue you, the ones who make you smile in awe or add a new level of joy to your day? I see these … Continue reading People and Passions: An Introduction

First attempt at #gnocchi: too large, uneven sizes and shapes, uneven texture, but still very delicious! Followed #chrisbianco @pizzeriabianco's recipe for crispy gnocchi with spring onions and goat cheese crema. Expecting the next attempt to be even better! #biancocookbook . . . . . . . #cookitathome #Cook90challenge #goodfood #homemadedeliciousness #homemadefood #homemadepasta #homemadegnocchi #Bianco #makeitathome #eatathome #foodwithflavor #foodporn #pasta
A cooking first: last night I battered and fried lemon slices for butternut squash with buckwheat polenta and tempura lemon. I was a bit skeptical about fried citrus, but it was delicious! From #PlentyMore by @ottolenghi. #ottolenghiobsessed . . . . . . #goodfood #ottolenghiplentymore #ottolenghi #YotamOttolenghi #tempuralemon #cookitathome #cook90 (I started the #cook90challenge early.) #cookOttolenghi #Cook #cookgoodfood #homechef #homecook #homecooking #OttolenghiRecipes #ottolenghigroupies #icookedottolenghi #ottolenghistyle
It's just about #Cook90 time! Who else is cooking 90 of their meals this January through the @epicurious #Cook90challenge with @davidtamarkin? Read about #whyicook90 through the link in my bio. 🥘🍲🥗🍳 TLDR: It's made me WAY more confident in the kitchen. . . . . . . #cookitathome #cooktherainbow #cookingchallenge #cookbook #cookbooks #cook #cooking #cookathome #eattherainbow🌈 #eattherainbow #eatathome #eatgoodfeelgood #eatrealfoodmostlyplants #eatgoodfood #eats
Leeks can be the focus of their own dish and it can be delicious! Sweet and sour leeks, topped with onion, @capriolegoatcheese, currants, and parsley. Christmas Eve meal also featured "sort of Waldorf" salad, raw beet and herb salad, and harissa sirloin with pepper sauce, all recipes from #Ottolenghicookbooks. Wonderful accompaniments to a day of laughter, sharing, and game playing. I hope you've also experienced as much joy this week. . . . . . . . #OttolenghiRecipes #ottolenghicookbook #ottolenghigroupies #OttolenghiSimple #Ottolenghi #leeks #veggies #vegfocused @shop.ottolenghi @ottolenghi #PlentyMore #plentymorecookbook #yoplentymore #ottolenghiplentymore #Christmasmeal #ChristmasEve #makeitathome #eattherainbow #eattherainbow🌈 #eatgoodfeelgood #salad #salads #yotamottolenghi
Probability I'll watch #BridgetJonesBaby: 1% Probability I'll make #BridgetJonesSalmon again: 💯% According to the text in #OttolenghiSimple, in the movie, Patrick Dempsey's character tells Renee Zellweger's character this is the dish he would get for her at an #Ottolenghi restaurant. So, the Ottolenghi crew went ahead and crafted the recipe for the real world to enjoy! Yes, I posted these yesterday, but this dish was so #simple and so delicious (and the photos are so nice), it deserved its own post. . . . . . . . #YotamOttolenghi #OttolenghiSimple #cookOttolenghi #YOinspired #icookedottolenghi #ottolenghigroupies #Ottolenghicookbooks #OttolenghiRecipes #cookitathome #homecook #pinenuts #ottolenghicookbook #bridgetjones
Hateful discourse has largely driven me off of Facebook. Even groups where I was expecting to find people uplifting others (a few dedicated to living plastic-free or lower waste come to mind) were filled with negativity. But there is one Facebook group that has been a sanctuary in the chaos: a private Yotam Ottolenghi-inspired group of cooks from around the world. Each year wraps up with a holiday gift exchange; preserved lemons and rose harissa traveling around the world. Grateful to my #YOfriend for sending me the most recent #Ottolenghi release and excited for a year of more online community. Already made several recipes, including the Bridget Jones's Pan-Fried #Salmon with Pine Nut Salsa. It was #delicious, as I expected. (Thanks for organizing the exchange, @culyzaar!) . . . . . . . . #YotamOttolenghi #OttolenghiSimple #cookOttolenghi #YOinspired #icookedottolenghi #ottolenghigroupies #Ottolenghicookbooks #OttolenghiRecipes #cookitathome #homecook #bridgetjonessalmon #pinenuts #ottolenghicookbook
Just found these photos and realized I had not ever posted them: my favorite #mural in Phoenix, a history of farming in south Phoenix. What would murals like this look like on farms across the country? @theorchardcommunity #southphoenix #farmworkers #Phoenix #phoenixeats #phoenixfarms #phœnixhistory . . . . . . . . . #streetart #foodart #art #phoenixart #PHX #southPHX #PHXart #PHXeats #muralart #Phoenixgardens #historyofphoenix #spacesofopportunity #southPhoenixgardens #southPhoenixfarms
Wow! @goshenfarmersmarket farmers, @rachel.thewedge, @annasbread and @goshenbrewing sure can make a #charcuterieboard! A beautiful and delicious way to raise money for the #farmersmarket. Oh, and that's a big slice of chocolate pumpkin #cake too! . . . . . . . . #charcuterie #farmersmarkets #breadandcheese #appetizers #pickledveggies #pickledvegetables #assortedmeat #happyhour #goshenindiana #downtownGoshen #eatseasonal #eattherainbow #eatlocal #eattherainbow🌈 #eatfoodmostlyplants #eatlocalfood #localfoods #locallygrown #locallyraised #yumyum #foodstagram #eatlocally #GoshenEats #goodfood
What a lot of #cake! @goshencollege can really bake AND decorate! @goodlibrary cake contest entries included a Swedish princess cake from the @britishbakeoff recipe, a tres leches cake, and multiple other amazing pieces of sweetness. . . . . . . . #cakes #cakestagram #bakingmagic #bakeityourself #somanycakes #cakeday
@goodlibrary is hosting a #cake contest. Instead of narrowing down what cake to bake and enter, I made three. Clockwise from top: lemon-blueberry stripe cake from @ottolenghi's #sweetcookbook, chocolate fudge cake from #ottolenghithecookbook, and apple olive oil cake with maple icing, also from Ottolenghi: The Cookbook. . . . . . . . . #ottolenghi #yotamottolenghi #bakingmagic #kingarthurflour #makeitathome #cakecontest #cakeday #cakes #stripecake #chocolatecake #bakeityourself #bakingday #cake #cakesofinstagram #cakery #cakes🎂 #bakeoff #cakestagram #cakecakecake #bake #bakeottolenghi #baker #bakes #sweets
Another good day for soup. Creamy butternut squash soup with glazed chestnuts that add a fun pop of sweetness and flavor to a classic soup. Recipe from #simpletospectacular by @chefjgv and @markbittman. All major ingredients purchased from local producers/farmers. . . . . . . . . . #Butternut #butternutsquash #butternutsquashsoup #chestnuts #soup #souperday #soupweather #eatseasonal #eatlocal #eatlocally #eattherainbow #eattherainbow #supportlocal #supportlocalfarmers #foodwithflavor #homecook #homecooking #makeitathome #homechef
Rainy and dreary outside = time for soup inside! Finally getting to use Jerusalem artichokes (aka #sunchokes) and make @ottolenghi and @sami_tamimi's recipe for Jerusalem artichoke and arugula soup. #Jerusalemartichokes and #arugula from #SustainableGreens, #greenonions from #FullCircleFarm. . . . . . . . #ottolenghicookbook #ottolenghirecipe #ottolenghi #icookottolenghi #sunchokes #eatlocal #locallygrown #soup #souperday #scallions #eatseasonal #vegetables #local #seasonal #vegetarian #sunchokesoup #sunchoke #Jerusalemartichoke #localproduce #seasonalproduce
