SNE: The Manuscript

I thought I’d take some time to write about Super Natural Every Day . The manuscript and photography are due this summer so why not wipe the spelt flour off my cheek, let the quinoa simmer on its own for a bit, and share a bit about how I’m working toward that not-so-far-off date? I’ll start by telling you about my creative process, which, in a broad sense, starts by collecting things that inspire me. I keep all sorts of scraps, notebooks, photos and random text files around. They live in drawers, on desktops, some are paper, others are digital. Thoughts and inspirations set aside for later, someday, next year. Occasionally, I’ll cluster a few of these things together if there is some sort of connection that strikes me as interesting. If I’m really excited about something, that particular cluster might end up in an envelope or folder. Many of the ideas, images, and thoughts related to this new book lived in a simple paper folder for a time. I’d add a copy of a recipe from one of my notebooks occasionally, or a photo of a place that evoked a certain …

Too Many, But Just Enough Ingredients, Veggie Stew

Sorry Claire Robinson, ” 5 Ingredient Fix ” host , you’re great, but I’ve grown disenchanted and blasé about the five ingredients or less, recipe trend . Five ingredients may make recipes more accessible to a wider viewing audience, but isn’t part of the point of cooking to experiment with new ingredients and flavors. Flour, sugar, eggs, oil and milk can only get you so far, mainstream chefs. I’m baffled by online recipe comments saying “I don’t have any of these ingredients!” (I actually rarely get this comment because my readers are so worldly, curious and experimental, but go to FoodNetwork.com and the hilarity begins.) Google “Blueberry Muffins” and you will get hundreds of recipes, each one different and worth exploring – if you are looking for a classic ‘pantry-items-only’ recipe, stick with your moms hand-me-down cookbook, dusty page number 462, simply index ‘blueberry’ or ‘muffins’ . It’s the creative (and delicious) blog recipes that get all the buzz. A recipe should be as original and memorable as the person who crafted it – and I’m a bit more complex than five ingredients or less. OK, OK, most of the time…

Tim Burton’s White Queen in ‘Alice in Wonderland’ Inspired by Nigella Lawson

[Photographs: nigella.com and adisney.go.com ] In Tim Burton ’s new adaptation of Alice in Wonderland (in theaters on March 5) the White Queen played by Anne Hathaway, is based on cooking show host and cookbook author Nigella Lawson. “There’s this very beautiful cooking show host in England named Nigella Lawson and I quietly had her as my image for this character,” Burton told the Los Angeles Times entertainment blog Hero Complex. “She’s really beautiful and she does all this cooking, but then there’s this glint in her eye and when you see it you go, ‘Oh, whoa, she’s like really … nuts.’ I mean in a good way. Well, maybe. I don’t know,” Burton added. See if you can pick up on the Nigella-ness in this scene from the film where the White Queen whips up a potion for Alice. Watch the clip, after the jump.

Market Matters- Asparagus Soup, Through Thick & Thin

If there is one universally loved vegetable it seems to be asparagus. Even the fussy eaters in my life, or the “no vegetables for me please” freaks, will eat asparagus. I know people who eat it several times a week. Even when it’s off season, expensive and not that great. So now that the fat young spears are in season here in California, cheap, and really great I thought the time was right to honor it with this weeks Market Matters post from the Hollywood Farmers Market . I love asparagus. But not all asparagus is the same. There are the very thin types. Often called baby asparagus. Which is mostly a misnomer because the thin spears are usually from older plants and are produced further out from the center of the plant. Thin asparagus is usually a bit stringier.

The Bread Lover’s Bread Machine Cookbook

From Publishers Weekly

Unlike electric ice cream makers and pasta machines, the bread machine hasn’t really enjoyed wholehearted acceptance in the culinary world. There are hordes of enthusiasts, no question about it, but many who consider themselves serious bakers look upon the machine with a skeptical eye. However, the newer generation of machines turns out excellent bread, and after being bombarded with know-how by this James Beard Award-winning writer, even the most reluctant may be inspired to give it a go. The book opens with an excellent orientation to both the machine and the basics of bread making. Step-by-step instructions are given for a few basic loaves. (Less helpful is a “what went wrong” section, which display…
