Figgy Buckwheat Scones

I’ve been waiting for months to write this post. The better part of a year, even. I’m positively itching to share this with you, so here we go. Late last summer (the lovely, gracious, talented) Luisa Weiss let me spend some time with the proofs of a baking book she was working on. She said she thought I’d like it. Which, it tuns out, was a dramatic understatement. The book she shared with me, Good to the Grain , is about baking with whole grain flours. It was written by Kim Boyce , and photographed by Quentin Bacon . There aren’t many people writing contemporary books on whole grain baking. Among those few, this one is special. In a sentence, a top-flight pastry chef intersects whole grain flours in her home kitchen. To back up a bit, Kim is a former pastry chef with major chops (Spago / Campanile) who left the professional kitchen to raise her family. Her book delves into her exploration of a broad range of whole grain flours, each of the twelve main chapters explores a separate flour – whole-wheat flour, amaranth flour, …

Water on the brain

Good old Marco Piss Pot certainly knows how to grab a headline. Speaking at the National Apprenticeship Service’s (NAS) launch of the campaign at his own St. James’s restaurant Wheeler’s, the former Michelin-starred chef, Marco Pierre White, branded catering colleges as ‘farcical’ and ‘a waste of life’. He dismissed chef’s schools as giving students a false sense they are ready to work in a professional kitchen. “If students can get their certificates at college, it only proves they can absorb information, nothing more,” he said. “It’s not a real restaurant environment; this farce service thing they do isn’t real. When I was at college a lot of people in my class were ladies of 60 years old who were learning about home cooking. It hasn’t changed much since then; it’s not in touch with the modern world. The only way to learn my industry is to roll up your sleeves and push yourself. “Students going to catering colleges are wasting two years of their life.” Now irregardless of my admiration for the former enfant terrible of the London restaurant scene, I think sometimes he’s a bit of a tosser, more interested in self promotion and the…

Beautiful Yarn Notecards

I received these notecards as a gift, and as someone who’s never knitted a stitch in her life (even though I’m dying to learn ), I’m not sure I felt that I deserved them. (A “stitch”? Can one knit a “stitch”? I rest my case; I don’t even know the terminology.)

Hot Dog Of The Week: Perro Caliente

[ Photographs and original artwork: Hawk Krall ] This week’s dog is perhaps one of the craziest things I’ve ever eaten in my life. After first reading about Colombian hot dogs, I assumed they were just a variation on Mexican hot dogs. Boy was I wrong. The Perro Caliente is something totally different. With no plans to visit South America anytime soon, I was happy to discover that Queens in New York has plenty of Colombian fast food restaurants serving various incarnations of the Perro Caliente. There are a bunch of hot dog spots all on the same few blocks of Jackson Heights. My first stop, Perro Veloz —a bright green storefront with a counter, a few stools, and a hot dog riding a scooter for a logo—wasn’t even on the original list, but was the clear favorite by the end of the day. We tried the Mexicano, which was decent, but we were instantly blown away by the wild flavors of the Veloz Special . The steamed dog is in a standard bun topped with bacon, pineapple, and a dusting of finely crushed potato chips, which is criss-crossed with an insane number of sauces (ketchup, mustard, …
