A Few Links For The Weekend: Apps Only, Momo for 2, $3 Pizza Stones, FEAST
12 Feb
Hey everyone! More cooking going up as soon as the pictures of my first attempt at carnitas are ready. In the meantime, here’s some stuff from around the internet you might be interested in.
First off, I’m thrilled to tell you that I’m writing a column for Serious Eats! I’m so siked to be involved with them–you may notice I mention them a lot around here–and I hope you’ll check out my stuff, and all the other great stuff over there. The Talk section can answer just about any question you have. I’m contributing to SE: New York with a column called Apps Only, where I go to restaurants I can’t afford a whole meal at, and try to construct a meal composed of sides, appetizers, and small plates. Check it out.
I love Momofuku, and I love to stare at the pictures in the cookbook, but the only thing I think I’ll ever make from it is the simple ginger scallion sauce. Badass chick Steph is not scared like I am; she’s making every recipe in the Momofuku cookbook. Her blog is well written, beautifully photographed, and lovingly executed. A ton of the shots, like the signature pork buns, for example, look better than the photos in the book itself. As a bare bones kind of home cook, I am flabbergasted by how adventurous she is in the kitchen. Check it out.
The always helpful Paupered Chef shows us how to make a pizza stone from about $3 worth of tiles from Home Depot. Check it out.
Finally, last week I attended a FEAST (Funding Emerging Art with Sustainable Tactics) in Brooklyn: a community dinner where the price of admission goes to fund art and community projects. I wrote a short writeup of the event, also for Serious Eats: New York. Check it out and also check out the FEAST site for more info on this amazing organization.
