Recently joined the CSA movement with Silver Lake Farms and have been receiving some of the loveliest, season’s bounty. Perfect for food experimenting, impromptu gatherings and dinner parties! [Sending love/thanks to Bruce for the CSA reference! His LA-centric blog is fantastico.]

This past week, our house hosted an impromptu potluck and birthday celeb for Kim. On the menu: 7 rad ladies, 5 bottles of vino, much laughter, ridiculous storytelling, cheese!, Cahn Jr’s caprese salad, The Bazaar’s guacamole, seasonal kale salad w/ fish sauce vin, warm parsnip/potato/carrot salad w/ honey-lime-dill vin, Vietnamese sizzling crepes aka banh xeo, Kathy’s orzo salad, Beard Papas! and a bottle of rose.

All I have to say is lulz

Serious.

Gurrrrrrrrl, lemme tell you

Only food photo! A forest of greens to accompany the banh xeo. Red sails lettuce, perilla leaves, mint, Thai basil

Who’s Rocking to the Music? That’s the Chef

Who’s Rocking to the Music? That’s the Chef:

“He’s now planning to blend the audible and the edible at Alinea. The crescendo of the dessert course comes when servers roll out a silicone tablecloth and begin smearing the surface with a variety of sauces and garnishes and treats. All of a customer’s senses go into overdrive: There is the visual spectacle, the fragrance, the flavor, and even the feel.” Sounds like a drug. The power of food. AND music. Shit. I believe.

foodisthenewrock:

For a new generation of chefs, music inspires the way they cook, becoming a pivotal part of their creative process.

It all began with Ferran Adria in more ways than one. It was because he reached out to me in 2001, invited me to come see him (in spite of the fact that I had written unflatteringly of him in Kitchen Confidential) that my partnership with zero point zero productionbegan. It was because he…

the quesadilla lady!

my lovely friend Lisa

I'm a happy camper

I would’ve totally been fine if this was the last meal of my life… but alas, the world is still here… which means more future quesadillas to enjoy!

My friend and I made a pit stop on our way to the Red Bull Soapbox Derby today and we lucked out because we stumbled upon the best quesadillas EVER. I never thought I’d come across these Oaxacan delights outside of Mexico! What made them so special were the hand-made blue-corn tortillas which were outstanding; fluffy, light and soft. We, each, indulged ourselves in ones filled with a potato and chicharones/pork mixture. Squash blossom and corn smut are next on my list to try!
