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.

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.

  Healthy protein cabbage After the onion gravy success, I was excited to find out who is next in the boxring. A cabbage. I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct).
