March 27, 2011

Did you ever wonder what's going on when the egg white turns ... white? If knowing about this doesn't spoil the purity of your just-watching experience, press Play and I'll tell you. Or go crack an egg into a hot frying pan and watch the real thing. Nice thing on a Sunday morning.

Bread & Breakfast: Chocolate & Cherries

March 26, 2011

When life hands you a bowl of cherries, you should make chocolate bread. Even if nobody hands over the cherries and you've never made bread, you should do this. Shows you how easy it is to make great bread. And gives you one of the most delicious breakfasts you'll ever eat.

No pepperoni. Chorizo.

An almost classic pizza with a Spanish accent. The sweet fruitiness of the Italian tomato paste blends perfectly with the light, bright, tart and spicy salsa verde. Great on top of bubbling mozzarella. And beneath the thinnest slices of the great Spanish chorizo sausage.

Farrotto with vegetables

March 23, 2011
Dick Sandhaus

Like risotto, but made with farro. The first cultivated grain. We humans have been growing this stuff for more than 10,000 years. Incredibly high in protein. Great nutty flavor. A light, bright, satisfying meal with a big range of fresh flavors and textures.

Sunnyside Potato Pancakes

Great mashed potatoes make great potato pancakes. And a great potato pancake makes a great platform for a sunnyside up egg. Rich and comforting. Not heavy. Great way to start the weekend. High protein. Low glycemic load. Seventy-five cents.

Slower Sunday: First one

March 20, 2011
Dick Sandhaus

Feels pretty good, waking up to the first day of Spring. Be getting warmer, not colder. Lighter, not darker. Greener, not browner. Sooner or later there'll be flowers. Go look for your first daffodil. Or Press Play. It'll only take a minute.

Last Call

March 19, 2011
Dick Sandhaus

The last day of winter. Probably not the last day of winter weather. I'll be cooking the seasonal winter stuff for a while longer. Here's a reminder of some of those things you've been enjoying. Or meaning to get around to. There's still time.

The Eats That Walk

March 18, 2011

When you walk a long Way, you want to eat well. When you're out to burn more calories than you consume, you want your calories to taste great, travel well and not make a big mess. Like Cole Slaw Jello. Stay with me here. This is a real revelation.

Irish Bread. No soda. Beer.

March 15, 2011
Dick Sandhaus

Actually, beer and buttermilk. This is not a cocktail. Not an Irish joke. This is profoundly great bread. Without kneading dough. Really. No kneading. Just 30 seconds of stirring. You're not hearing this from a leprechaun.

Slower Sunday: The Speed of Light

March 13, 2011
Dick Sandhaus

Always surprises me how long it takes from the time the bottom of the sun hits the horizon until the top disappears. Two and a half minutes. Really. Press Play. You'll see. C'mon, you have an extra hour before dark. Settle into slow motion, like the sun.
