Alaskan Sourdough Bread Mix

This posting is a product review.  I bought a box of Alaskan Sourdough Bread Mix from King Arthur Flour, since it was on sale.  I mostly followed the instructions with a couple of enhancements.  I let the dough rise for 2 hours, formed it into a ball and gave the dough a second rising of Read More …

Crispy Pata

Egg Nog Cake

We had half of a Tres Leches Cake base in the freezer and I had a brainstorm about soaking the cake in Egg Nog instead of with the usual three milks which gives the cake its name.  I put the cake on a sheet of aluminum foil inside a baking pan, and folded up the Read More …

Egg Nog

This recipe makes enough egg nog to soak half a 9 x 13 inch cake.  It is adapted from Texas Home Cooking.  Egg Nog (with cooked eggs) is essentially a thin custard, and the key issue with all custards is not to get the mixture too hot since you do not want to create sweet Read More …

Sapporo-Style Butter Corn Miso Ramen

This post will be more of a commentary and memorialization of a recipe rather than the recipe itself.  I recently bought Tim Anderson’s Tokyo Stories which is about the wide range of Japanese foods available in contemporary Tokyo, and I picked this dish to try because it was an example of the breadth of styles Read More …

Chicken al Potacchio

This is a traditional dish from the Le Marche area of central Italy.  It is similar to, and may be the ancestor for, the popular chicken with 30 cloves of garlic.  It would most commonly be made with chicken pieces.  I used a package of boneless chicken thighs I had in the freezer.  This is Read More …

Chaliapin Steak

In 1936 the Russian opera singer Feodor Ivanovich Chaliapin was in Tokyo to record Mussorgsky’s “The Song of the Flea”.  He was staying at the Imperial Hotel and asked the staff if he could have a very soft steak for dinner, because he had a toothache.  This was the origin story for Chaliapin Steak which Read More …

Rabbit with Mustard Sauce (Lapin a la mutarde) v2

Richmond magazine has had a series of articles featuring recipes from local chefs.  One was from David Crabtree-Logan for Rabbit in Mustard Sauce, which I made last night with a few adjustments.  (I had to special order a rabbit from Wegman’s and wait a week.)  It turned out that his version was very similar to Read More …

Non

This is a very tasty Uzbek bread whose name resembles the northern Indian bread naan.  I made this to go with Non Puju, an Uzbek dish in which a Chinese-style beef stew is served over bread.  This version is adapted from Caroline Eden’s Red Sands, which I am reading in preparation for a VMFA trip Read More …
