Food Thread: Shuck And JiveBluebell, Weasel, and the rest of the staff of the vast bureaucracy that is Moron Cookbook Inc. have been doing a huge amount of work on editing the submitted recipes, creating a logical and pleasing template for each one, creating a legal framework for the endeavor, finding a publisher, and most of all making reservations at a dozen bars and restaurants at which the staff will drink up all of the profits in a bourbon-fueled orgy of oysters and foie gras and caviar and lobster and Kobi beef and Chateau Petrus.... In the meantime, please heed Bluebell's lovely and gentle request: Would you mind putting something in the food thread for us about the cookbook? I've been sending out emails with questions re some of the recipes, and most have been good about getting back to me, but not all. Plus, there will be more emails yet to come, so I want to alert people. Who woulda thunk that morons writing a cookbook would be a problem? Short version: Do what Bluebell says or she will hunt you down and skin you for your pelt. And speaking of oysters...the reason that photo is up there is because for no particular reason I suddenly had a hankering for a dozen (or two or three) good fat briny East Coast oysters on the half-shell. No idea why. Maybe I dreamed of them, forgot my dream, but it was hovering just outside my consciousness? So what food or drink jumps up and reminds you that, "Damnit, I haven't some in a very long time!" Mine is usually oysters or fried chicken or a good braised meat like lamb shanks. But I am also not above meandering down to McDonald's for a sausage-egg-n-cheese biscuit. Yeah, I know it sounds stupid, but endives are great in salads. I mean, it's not bacon, so why bother? But here is an Endive Salad Recipe from Eat Dangerously, which is a fun placed I have linked before. Endives are sort of bitter, but not too bitter, and they have a great texture when raw. There is also a fun but sort of odd dish with endives, gruyere, ham and bechamel. Yes, that was one of the foods I ate as a child. But I put my foot down after I tried calf brains. I think I am still traumatized. Here's a very nice recipe for Simple Grilled Fish with Basil from Hunter-Angler-Gardener-Cook, which is an earnest but fun website that has some really interesting recipes, and his take on food is refreshing. Maybe I am not as good a cooking technician as I think I am, but grilling fish is a tough one for me. Anyone have any tips? Crispy Pan Potatoes It's a pretty straightforward recipe to which I would add more butter and perhaps some heavy cream. But what caught my eye was the clever presentation. Standing the potato slices on edge looks great! This recipe was given to me by a neighbor who served it at a Christmas party several years ago. It is good. Very, very good. My neighbor quite rudely moved to North Carolina, so I now have to bake this for myself instead of mooching off of her whenever she baked one. 4 oz. semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, broken into ½" pieces 6 Tbl. unsalted butter 3 Tbl. flour 3 eggs, separated ¼ cup sugar Prepare, for one recipe an 8" or for a double recipe a 9-10" spring-form pan by cutting a wax paper bottom, spraying with cooking oil then dusting with cocoa. Set aside. Melt chocolate and butter over low heat stirring constantly until melted. Remove from heat and immediately stir in flour, set aside to cool. Beat egg whites until foamy throughout and gradually add the sugar, continue beating until mixture form s soft peaks, set aside. Temper egg yolks by adding 1-2 Tbl. of slightly cooled chocolate and mix well. Add this chocolate/egg mixture to the slightly cooled chocolate and mix until well incorporated. Fold whites into chocolate mixture and pour into prepared spring form pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes for single recipe or 30 minutes for double recipe, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. The top of the cake will rise in the oven and then fall and crack as it cools. Remove form pan. If the top has cracked substantially, I usually try to peel the biggest pieces off. Invert onto platter and glaze with the recipe below. NOTE: this recipe is best when doubled. Chocolate Glaze Heat water until just ready to boil, remove from heat and add chocolate pieces. Stir until melted, add butter and let cool slightly. Glaze the cake. This recipe doubles nicely. Glaze will run over sides of cake, but, there is not enough to completely cover sides as a frosting would. [Neighbor's comments] The above is Kathryn’s recipe. Here are my annotations for more excellence. Yeah...she was a good neighbor!
