FINALLY! NO-KNEAD, CRUSTY ALMOST-ALL WHOLE WHEAT ARTISAN BREAD BAKED IN A POT!

January 14, 2010 – 11:36 pm | by admin

272f1f7065e1d44ff68c43055654a491 FINALLY! NO KNEAD, CRUSTY ALMOST ALL WHOLE WHEAT ARTISAN BREAD BAKED IN A POT!

Over the last few months, in between other projects, I have been trying to make a whole wheat, crusty, no-knead artisan loaf that I can be really proud of (like my “whiter version” , which is only about 1/3rd whole wheat.) I’m not saying that this is the final version, but I think it’s pretty darn close! (Read more about the no-knead bread process and why it’s so good here and here .) As with my other recipe, I borrowed ideas and advice from a number of experts (see the text at the beginning of the recipe below), combined with my own tastes and experience. I don’t know if it is possible to make a really tempting whole wheat version of this type of bread solely with whole wheat flour. My early attempts were “grassy”-tasting and heavy. So, I used the proportions in Jeff Hertzberg’s and Zoë François’ recipe for “five-minute” no-knead, refrigerated for whole grain bread, with a few additions and changes. The proportions are slightly more than 3/4 whole wheat flour to slightly less than 1/4 unbleached white flour– not bad! The authors explained that “ In order to mix up dough that’s really …

January 11, 2010 – 5:33 pm | by admin

72157807d835 150x101 Raw Vegan Recipe: Soft n’ Savory Hemp Onion Bread

Yay! It’s recipe time! In today’s video, I’m showing you how to make an EASY yummy bread recipe, Soft n’ Savory Hemp Onion Bread . If you’re a fan of savory onions, then you’ll be one happy camper with a slice of this! Soft n’ Savory Hemp Onion Bread is delicious, pretty, and filled with nutrition… essential fatty acids, protein, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber . Essential fatty acids are necessary fats that we basically cannot synthesize on our own, so we have to get them from our diet. Enter: hemp and chia! Not only that, but hemp foods are an excellent source of complete vegetarian protein. Personally, I consider hemp foods as superfoods because they are loaded with important nutrients and they make me feel great. As a pregnant gal, I’ve been upping my intake of them – great for my growing baby. So… back to the bread… It’s perfect for snacking on by itself, dipping in Raw hummus, and spreading with Raw hemp seed butter or guacamole. Depending on the size you cut, you can also use it as a nutrient rich bread for hearty Raw sandwiches. As I’m typing this post, it’s dehydrating in the kitchen and it smells …

Someone (Thank you, person!) nominated CHG for a Homie , given out by the Apartment Therapy folks. It’s a voting-type thing, so if y’all have time, it would be wonderful if you could click on over. (We’re in the right column around the middle.) Thank you! Every Wednesday, we at CHG post longer pieces relating to our central thesis of nutritious, inexpensive food. The article topics range from simple how-tos to recipe compilations to extended pondering about food and pop culture . Generally, they’re a good time. Though we took a little break towards the end of the year, 2009 has produced some of our best Wednesday posts yet. (Modesty: it’s what’s for Christmas.) These are my ten favorites, plus a few honorable mentions. If you’ve seen ‘em already, they may be worth revisiting, at least for stunning pictures of chicken breast. If you haven’t seen them yet … well, it’s gonna be a good day. 1) 1 Chicken, 17 Healthy Meals, $26 Bucks, No Mayo In which a single chicken named Charles yields a week of delicious meals, plus lots of hand washing. 2) 19-Hour Food Network Running Diary: The Whole Thing and Various Conclusions This just happened, and I’m still reeling from almost four hours of Paula Deen, y’all (who, by the way, chopped …

Veggie Might: Red Cabbage with Apples

December 10, 2009 – 12:54 pm | by admin

78bdc806bbabbage 150x99 Veggie Might: Red Cabbage with Apples

Penned by the effervescent Leigh, Veggie Might is a weekly Thursday column about the wide world of Vegetarianism. Does anyone else have those friends who bring out your inner junk-food junkie? For me, it’s my friend C. She’s a tall, slender woman who barely eats. Food is just not on her radar. C doesn’t cook; she can eat an apple and call it lunch. She will eat one serving of potato chips and put the bag away. It’s unnatural. And unfortunately, I don’t share her resistance to wolfing down the whole bag. So to counter a weekend spent with C (and cinnamon rolls, guacamole chips, popovers, and White Castle), I made Mark Bittman ’s delicious and deliciously simple Red Cabbage with Apples. I wish I’d taken a photo of the cabbage as I cut it. If you make this, take a minute to marvel at the magenta and white brain-like twists and turns. Gorgeous. True to form, I made a few tweaks. I could barely taste the clove, so I upped the recommended amount. I thought I could peel the apples while the cabbage cooked, but I was wrong. You’ll need…

Ask the Internet: Wedding Beer Question, Answered!

December 8, 2009 – 4:18 pm | by admin

d0ad8ce5f6hoices 150x112 Ask the Internet: Wedding Beer Question, Answered!

Before we get to today’s Ask the Internet, a very special announcement: tonight, we’re live blogging the Biggest Loser finale! Log on around 8pm for a play-by-play of all the inspirational, yet slightly disturbing dieting! A few weeks ago, Ask the Internet featured a question from an unassuming food blogger about what kind beer to serve at her wedding. Readers offered a ton of good suggestions, and the food blogger, a procrastinator of the highest order, finally held the tasting over the weekend. She also stopped talking in third person at the end of this paragraph. You guys, it was great! Here’s how it went down: After the comments and Facebook votes were tallied, our final four beers were Brooklyn Lager, Magic Hat, Sierra Nevada, and Smithwick’s. Fat Tire, Shiner Bock, and Bell’s all received multiple votes, but none are available in New York. (And according to the beer guy won’t be until: 2011, “a few years,” and “never,” respectively.) Five people participated: me, the Husband-Elect, Ma, my sister, and her manfriend T. We rated each beer on a 1 to 10 scale. I was the only person who knew which beer was which. These are our results and comments. The winner is…

Veggie Might: Newsflash! Scientists Getting Closer to Lab-grown Meat

December 3, 2009 – 12:15 pm | by admin

aa16eedd13iedee 148x150 Veggie Might: Newsflash! Scientists Getting Closer to Lab grown Meat

Written by the fabulous Leigh, Veggie Might is a weekly Thursday column about all things Vegetarian. The illustration is borrowed from the uber-talented Natalie Dee . A group of scientists in the Netherlands, funded by the Dutch government and a sausage maker, are getting close to viable lab-grown meat replacement. According to Sunday’s Telegraph , they “have created what was described as soggy pork and are now investigating ways to improve the muscle tissue in the hope that people will one day want to eat it.” The Sunday Times reports that while, “the scientists have not tasted it…they believe the breakthrough could lead to sausages and other processed products being made from laboratory meat in as little as five years’ time.” In April 2008, PETA’s Ingrid Newkirk issued a challenge to Scientists Everywhere : figure out how to grow meat in the lab, and we’ll stop actin’ the fool all over the place and give you a million dollars*. Turns out that Newkirk’s gauntlet toss, which came just weeks after the In Vitro Meat Symposium in Norway, was unnecessary. Scientists Everywhere were already on it , driven by their own innate “what happens if …
