Potpourri


A while ago, I was reading Amy Finley's 'How to eat a small country' and in the process learnt that she had to send a tape for audition into the star competition. What I did not know that for one position, there are 99,999 other aspirants.


Reading this book, I kept registering techniques like baked frittata, ingredients like baby beets,cilantro, recipes like tofu chocolate mousse pie that were unknown to me before.

Many hit recipes with justifying pictures are included.

There are interviews with finalists in each season. You get to know the exiting thoughts of the eliminated too. The participants are put through real life situations like catering to a wedding, sports fan at a stadium, cooking on wheels.

Vegan desserts recipe for Mexican chocolate creme caramel uses tofu. I was reminded of tofu chocolate mousse pie by Amy Finley. Looking at new vegan book titles like Sinfully Vegan, Vice cream (for Vegan Ice Cream) reflects how the culture views indulgences.

pomegranate poached pears. I wanted to see when this recipe was out. Comparing recipes, with no sugar in the net recipe, I wonder if the sweet wine has the whole onus of sweetening the dessert.
