There’s an awful lot of talk about food additives, flavorings, colorants, and thangs that are added to foods, beverages and whatnot. I’m shocked. Oh, sorry. I forgot to add the sarcasm tags around my sarchasm (ha!). There’s a lot of things added to processed foods that we totally don’t need anymore. Preservatives aren’t needed when […] I know, it’s a faux pas to apologize for faffing about and not writing. Particularly to the blog one resolved to write on at least once every two weeks. But, you know what, I don’t care. I’m sorry baby, I didn’t mean it. I’ll do better next time. Part of what has been taking up […] Stats: Blade: 250mm long; double-bevel edge; stainless molybdenum steel Handle: western-style (no bolster); Pakka-wood Weight: 229g Price: $70 discounted ($120 standard) Knovember continues with a look at another recent knife acquisition, a MAC gyuto. I’ve seen this knife described as “a slab of metal with two pieces of wood stuck to one end,” a description […] Blade: approx 142mm (5.5 inches) long; “damascus” warikomi cladding CMV60 (VG-10) core (target 60 HRC); double-bevel edge Handle: western-style; micarta Weight: 77g Price: $80 discounted ($110 standard) What month is it? Why it’s Knovember—the cuttiest, choppiest, sliciest month of the year! And unlike those other “special” months (you know, the ones like Remorseuary, Junkly, Suicitember […] I may or may not have had an epiphany in that I really, REALLY love the west coast. Now, I knew this before, but after spending two weeks total bouncing from San Francisco (CA), to Bodega Bay (CA), into Napa (CA), over to Sonoma (CA), into Healdsburg, multiple dinners in Sebastapol (CA), then up to […] Cutting citrus fruit, trimming meats, mincing garlic, any of those little tasks where a slice or two will suffice and then you don’t need your knife anymore—there are those times when I don’t always feel like a chef’s knife is the best tool for the moment. These thoughts recently combined with my growing dislike for […] I’ve wanted to try Dim and Den Sum for over a year. To put it lightly, they’re famous around here in the Land of Cleve. They’re one of the first food trucks to show up around the midwest. And while all you west-coasters will be rolling your eyes, we take a little longer around here […] But I think I forgot the safety word. I stopped in my local Penzey’s Spices today to restock on a few of my favorite things. Namely the Szechuan Peppercorn Salt, but walked out with a few more things I use all the time: chipotle powder and ancho powder. I absolutely love this store. They procure […] The intrepid Gastrognome and I have a monthly tradition that dictates that on at least one day we must eschew the consuming of lunch in anticipation and preparation for a dinner which involves consuming large (okay, okay–excessive) amounts of sushi and sushi-related food items. But what to do when you’re in a foreign country and […] As spring leaves us and summer begins (ok, that was a month ago), it’s time yet again that the regional farmers’ markets fire up and appear on street corners and central squares. Fantastic. Admittedly, I’d rather they didn’t shut down at 1:00 PM EST here in Cleveland where I live, as most said markets occur […] |
