Shoes. Oh My Gawd. Shoes.

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 10:36:31 +0000

Last night (as previously mentioned here on SuperVegan ) was the opening party for the Melissa’s Shoes Pop-Up shop inside of the Lower East Side’s Kaight store. Naked feet, open shoe boxes and smiling gals trying on super cute shoes were the scene last night. The vegan snacks amounted to little more than a few vegan thumbprint cookies in a bag, but there was vodka for the partakers and people seemed to be having a good time. (Seriously though, don’t say you’re providing vegan snacks and show up with a few cookies, because a hungry vegan might cut a b*tch) Full Disclosure: I have dude feet. So, that means I can’t partake in the cute shoes above, but, I love to browse like I do and I’m all smiles at the thought of happy girls wearing cute shoes. So, there!

Grilling: Pecan-Crusted Pork Pinwheels

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 05:30:00 +0000

From Recipes [Photograph: Joshua Bousel] This is an incredibly sad month, my cherished Bacon of the Month Club (best. wedding. present. ever.) has ended. Six months and six pounds of bacon have left me with some very fond eating memories , and with just six slices of Ozark Trails Hickory Smoked Peppered Bacon left, I was determined to make these last strips really count. After whipping up a batch of South Carolina Mustard sauce, an earlier recipe in Big Bob Gibson’s BBQ Book grabbed my attention: pork tenderloin rolled with bacon, coated with mustard sauce and pecans. With just four ingredients, surely the bacon was destined to be a star. Boy was it ever. The peppered bacon really flavored the entire pinwheel, which had a nice mustard tang and pleasing nutty crunch. Hopefully my doc isn’t reading this, because with a sick wife, it was up to me to eat 12 of these delectable pinwheels that supposedly serve six, and that’s exactly what I did. I can truly say that those last fatty, peppery pieces of cured pork belly went out in grand, grilled style. Pecan-Crusted Pork Pinwheels Adapted from Big Bob Gibson’s BBQ Book by…

Dinner Tonight: Barley Soup al Verde

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 02:15:00 +0000

From Recipes [ Photograph: Nick Kindelsperger ] I’m constantly surprised by the Silver Spoon . I could spend a few years trying to make my way though this exhaustive volume on Italian recipes, but I’ve spent the majority of my time lingering over the pasta section—and I’ve had great luck. What I love about the recipes is they’re at once comforting, complex, and really easy to make. That luckily applies to this barley soup, which doesn’t sound quite right, and yet comes together perfectly and effortlessly. Most barley soup recipes have a heavy helping of beef, which might have been really wonderful in mid-January. But now with spring around the corner, I was looking for something a tad lighter. Thankfully cabbage and spinach get the job done here. They bulk it out, making it a filling soup without being a heavy or meaty one. Barley Soup al Verde – serves 4 – Adapted from Silver Spoon Ingredients 6 1/4 cups chicken stock 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, chopped 1 fresh sage leaf 1 cup Savory cabbage, halved and sliced thinly 3 cups spinach, chopped 3/4 cup pearl barley 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated Salt Procedure 1. Pour the stock into a large pot. Bring to a boil. While that’s warming up, pour the oil into another pot set over…

It’s Raining Cupcakes by Lisa Schroeder

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 00:00:33 +0000

In addition to cupcake murder mystery Sprinkle with Murder , another book in a completely different genre came out last week, Lisa Schroeder’s middle grade novel It’s Raining Cupcakes , geared toward kids ages 7-12. There’s lots of fun cupcake moments here, and even a (perceived) rivalry between the protagonist Isabel’s bakery, It’s Raining Cupcakes, and a major brownie chain. Hopefully we’ll have an interview here soon with Lisa Schroeder about her inspiration for the book. I’d recommend it to kids in that age range (and adults who love cupcakes). In addition to baking, it’s about perseverance, being true to yourself, and family. Here’s my review: It’s Raining Cupcakes is a fun story about a young girl trying to stake her place in her family and in the world, as her mother gets ready to open a cupcake bakery and her best friends goes to camp, having adventures without her. Isabel dreams of traveling, but she’s never left her small Ohio town. Instead, she reads about other cities and conjures the day she’ll get a passport of her very own. She befriends neighbors and her aunt who share their travel tips, then decides to enter a baking contest…

Lime Meltways

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:15:00 +0000

From Recipes [Photograph: Jenny McCoy] Meltaways were one of the first cookies I made when I began my professional baking career. Just like my former pastry chef Celeste Zecola who gave me the recipe, it’s one of my all-time favorites. I’ve made them in a variety of shapes and flavors, at every restaurant I’ve worked since. They’re incredibly easy to make and their delicate, crumbly texture makes them terribly addictive. The only catch? The recipe requires a stand mixer to cream the dough to a very light, airy consistency. (I’ve tried it by hand, and it takes a great deal of time with inferior results.) In this version, I made them with lime zest. But if you’d prefer another flavor—like lemon, vanilla bean or even black pepper—go for it. This dough is as versatile as it gets! Lime Meltaways – makes approximately 3 dozen cookies – Ingredients 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup powdered sugar Zest of 2 limes, finely-grated 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt Procedure 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. 2. Line two baking sheets with parchment. 3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, powered sugar, lime zest and…

Steak with Burgundy Mushroom Sauce

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:59:53 +0000

I am in love with heavy, ingredient-rich steak sauces. Marlboro Man, on the other hand, believes a good steak should stand on its own. We’ll be seeking outside help for this fundamental life disagreement, but for today, I wanted to show you how to make this quick and easy mushroom sauce for whatever steak you feel like cooking tonight. A sirloin will work, or a skirt steak…or a fillet or a ribeye or anything else you might have languishing in your fridge. Whatever steak you decide to use, just know that the sauce will make it better. Just ask Marlboro Man. He’ll tell you. NOT.

Lady Gaga cupcakes for "Paparazzi" video

Speaking of Lady Gaga cupcakes , I found these on Deviant Art. I wonder what Lady Gaga’s favorite kind of cupcake is? Something outrageous, surely. Here’s what the artist wrote : Here are the six super-sparkly bejeweled fondant cupcakes I did for a Lady Gaga video, the song “Paparazzi”, I believe.

I feel I should prepare you in some way for today’s Wreck. Hm. Let’s see… Oh! I know. How about this: Think of a place. A happy place. A place where chocolate-dipped demon mummies can never, ever reach you – much less wrap you in their fudgy arms and squeeze the life-breath out of you. Are you imagining that happy place? Are you there? Ok , good. You may now proceed. AAAAAAUUUUGGGHHH !! THINK OF THE HAPPY PLACE! THINK OF THE HAPPY PLACE!!! Ahem. Yes, it IS cake. Forty six pounds of cake, to be precise, and fifty five pounds of chocolate ganache . It’s a testament to the baker’s skill that I could never get within arm’s reach of this thing, for fear of it suddenly coming to life like in Night at the Museum. Still, you’ve got to appreciate the humor of where they chose to start cutting: “Hey, girl, you have one sweet piece of… [noticing onlookers] …uh…shoulder blade.” Thanks to Wreckporter Jessica Y., who featured it here in her article for Orlando Weekly, and also to Paul J., the baker/sculptor, who’s been an awfully good sport about …

Vegan Boys Are The Best

While I would never purport to being (even slightly) offended by the Vegan Boys Are The Worst song ( which incidently got a lot of heat Vegansaurus recently and was the impetus of this post), I feel as a vegan boy and fellow musician that I must offer up a retort.

Wine, Health, Science and Journalism: A Study in Headlines

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:12:34 +0000

I consume a lot of wine news. When I say a lot, I mean literally almost everything that’s published for free on the Internet about wine “passes by my desk” courtesy of Google Alerts, Technorati, a massive collection of RSS feeds, and more. Increasingly I get the opportunity to see how wine stories develop and spread through the Web’s news outlets, and it’s quite amazing to watch. Recently I’ve been watching with fascination as the mainstream press does its usual unraveling of some recently released research results focused on wine drinking in women and weight gain. Specifically, I’ve been giggling at the complete lack of understanding we seem to have of the difference between correlation and causation, combined with the creative liberties of headline writing: Moderate Drinking 'Can Keep Women Slim' : The Chosun Ilbo Glass of wine may keep women from gaining weight : New York Daily News Bottoms up for skinnier bottoms : Independent Women Who Consume Alcohol Gain Less Weight: Study : Huffington Post (blog) A drink a day could help keep the pounds away : Globe and Mail Cheers, Ladies!

El Dorado Winery Association Tasting: March 20, San Francisco

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:12:32 +0000

One of the trends in the wine industry I’m happiest about involves the increasing initiative that wine regions are taking in making themselves visible to the public. Such activities by individual AVAs, or American Viticultural Areas, produce two important results: increased awareness of the individual region, and increased awareness of the difference between regions for consumers. I’m in full support. Public tasting events are one of the chief ways such wine regions are producing this visibility. These events are not only a lot of fun to go to, they are a wonderful education. While visiting the region is the best way to understand the wines, not everyone has the time, the energy, or the means to visit many of California’s wine regions. Even those who do can’t visit more than five or six wineries in a day’s tasting. But at these large tastings, the curious consumer can taste the efforts of twenty, fifty, or a hundred different wineries, and very quickly get a read on a specific region. Which brings me to the little tasting going on in about a week at Postrio Restaurant here in San Francisco. Twenty-four wineries from El …

Ginger Spring Onion Clams

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:19:24 +0000

Simple is best when it comes to cooking fresh ingredients and one of the best ways to fry clams is with ginger and spring onions. Although simple, I have tried cooking this dish at home but never quite got it right. So a few nights ago I went to a seafood restaurant before peak hours and asked the cook if I could watch while he cooked my clams and he was too polite to shoo me away. I made sure not get in his way and stood across the island with his workers running around, probably wondering why I was allowed to stand there. What I’ve learnt about frying clams is that you first have to parboil them until they open just a little. This is to make sure that they all open and that you won’t get a clamful of sand. It also makes it easier to remove the shell of the clam without meat, for presentation. Another must is a very hot wok, so hot the flames dance around the rim of the wok and cooks the clams in a few minutes without sweating the juices out. This is hard to do at home unless you have an outdoor kitchen, which I have, and a burner that can heat up so…

Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. Reality or Not?

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:07:33 +0000

On March 26th at 9pm, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution reality show premieres on ABC . Jamie travels to Huntington, West Virginia, aka the unhealthiest town in America as deemed by the US government, and embarks on a journey to save the health of the entire town, around 50,000 residents. Health problems plague this town: half of the town is obese, and the diabetes and heart disease rates are soaring. The school children couldn’t even name a tomato, they called it a potato . Thus not surprisingly, the show has ignited controversy … You say Potato, I say Tomato. In the trailer for the show, there is a clip of a classroom of elementary school students who don’t know that tomatoes are tomatoes . They call them potatoes . There is another clip of Jamie reacting in shock when greasy pizza is being served as ‘breakfast’ in a school cafeteria. Then there is another clip of a wilted-faced obese woman sobbing in frustration to Jamie over an enormous pile of greasy, processed, high fat/sugar foods like pizza and snack cakes. Can Jamie, save her, her town and spark a food revolution in America? “We don’t want to sit around and eat lettuce all day.” – radio show host in WV, as …

Gluten free cupcakes at Tu-lu’s Gluten Free Bakery

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:39:40 +0000

I finally got to try New York City’s new gluten-free bakery, which is now called Tu-lu’s Gluten Free Bakery (was Tully’s, they had to change their name because of a copyright infringment issue), twice, in fact. The space is as adorable as the owl cupcake tree art would predict. It’s cozy, with a few seats where you can eat. They serve paninis, cupcakes, brownies, muffins, cookies and cakes. Click here to see more photos from my Flickr set. You can also follow them @tulusbakery on Twitter and on Facebook . Cupcakes come in five flavors: red velvet, vanilla/strawberry, peanut butter frosting/chocolate cake, chocolate frosting/vanilla cake and…I forget the last one. They also have mini cupcakes, but go early for those. They’re $1.25 and totally adorable – I really liked the peanut butter/chocolate, closely followed by the chocolate frosting on vanilla cake. The peanut butter frosting wasn’t too sweet, and it was in perfect proportion on the mini cupcakes. Whether you’re gluten-free or not, if you like peanut butter and chocolate, you’ll want to check that out. The red velvet was decent, it’s not really my thing so …

Red Velvet Revisited

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:25:21 +0000

I wanted to try this Red Velvet recipe from the other day again for a few reasons: I had green food coloring and figured it would be fun for St. Patrick’s Day. Many of you asked if the red velvet cake recipe could be used for cupcakes, so I wanted to find out for you for sure. I wanted to try the cooked frosting that a lot of you recommended over the cream cheese version and I had all of these… Tiny shamrock sprinkles . They just had to be used before another St. Pat’s day passed by. A little liquid food coloring in green. For the red velvet cake I used two bottles, but one was enough for the green. (P.S. This food coloring works much better than the time I tried to use icing colors .) For the cupcake version I used one cup of oil instead of 1 1/2 to see how it would be with less. So far so good. Too good. Man, I never get cupcakes this puffy when I want them. Look at that. Lucky I guess…

Nutella cupcake at Village Tart

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:21:50 +0000

Last night I ate dinner at Village Tart , and after I was pretty full, but I could not resist the Nutella cupcake. What’s interesting about it is that while Nutella itself is very thick, this frosting is light, but rich tasting. It’s not overwhelming, and the cake is moist and chocolatey (sometimes people get the moist, but forget the flavor in their chocolate cakes). Definitely save room for dessert here! Cupcakes are $3.25 each. See their menu here.

‘Cake Bible’ Author Rose Levy Beranbaum Charged $25 ‘Forkage’ Fee at The Breslin

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:00:00 +0000

From Serious Eats: New York The receipt listing the $25 cake fee that author Rose Levy Beranbaum and friends incurred at lunch recently. [ Photograph: Rose Levy Beranbaum ] Your thoughts? Since we have people on both sides of the aisle reading this site? Noted baking author Rose Levy Beranbaum and her lunch party were recently charged a $25 “forkage” fee * for a couple slices of leftover cake they brought into The Breslin with them. While it was “outside food,” Beranbaum had brought the cake from a video taping and wanted to share it with her pastry chef friends. (She even offered the pastry chef and the server a piece.) While it’s common for restaurants to charge a “cake fee” to customers bringing their own dessert (usually on special occasions like birthdays) here $25 seems a leetle steep. Particularly when it didn’t need to be cut, and because it wasn’t plated (they made due using the plastic wrap as a plate)—and mostly because the diners were not informed of the fee beforehand. As a consumer, it’s easy to become outraged on Beranbaum’s behalf. She mentions all the times she’s brought cakes into restaurants and how they have been well-received. (It doesn’t hurt when you’re the author of a cookbook called The…
