Another Momofuku Success: Chicken Wings with Octo Vinaigrette

Wednesday, February 3, 2010

octo-wings-2

Those of you who read my post last week about Momofuku’s Ginger Scallion Noodles have probably already figured out that I did succumb and buy the book.  And, I’m so glad I did!  Even if I never make one more recipe from it, it was still worth the price.  It’s a beautiful book and a very entertaining read.

I saw this recipe for baked chicken wings a few weeks ago on Steamy Kitchen’s site, and it sang to me. (I love it when that happens!)  I almost always bake my wings instead of frying them, and honestly, I like them better that way.  Plus, it’s a lot less messy!  Who wants to spend their time sopping up an oil slick on their stove, not to mention figuring out an appropriate way to dispose of a vat of dirty, used, hot oil?  I’d rather be watching Simon skewer fresh-faced pop star wannabes on American Idol or finding out who gets “auffed” on Project Runway.  (By the way, pouring said oil down the garbage disposal is NOT an appropriate way to dispose of it.  Don’t ask me how I know this. Just trust me.) read more >>

Easy Sausage and Peppers Calzones

Sunday, January 24, 2010 37 Comments

I don’t usually cook on Fridays nights.  After a long week of working, cleaning, cooking, blogging, mothering, wife-ing, daughtering and a lot of general running around, I’m pooped!  Sometimes we’ll get take-out. And, sometimes we’ll just go out.  Last Friday night, though, the weather sucked.  It was rainy, …

SGCC Rewind: Meatloaf Involtini

Monday, January 18, 2010 24 Comments

One of the very first recipes I ever posted here at SGCC was for this Meatloaf Involtini.  I created the recipe over two years ago for National Meatloaf Appreciation Day, sponsored by Serious Eats.  Since then, I’ve tweaked and poked the recipe here and there to make it …

Seafood Pasta alla Buzara

Friday, January 15, 2010 32 Comments

The other day I was shopping at my neighborhood supermarket, looking for a little dinner inspiration.  I meandered past the seafood department without a thought.  Usually, I don’t even bother to look in that direction.  I live in Florida, less than a mile from the Gulf of Mexico.  The …

Pate de Fruits and a New Motivation

Sunday, January 10, 2010 43 Comments

What is it about ringing in a new year that makes everything seem so fresh, possible and…well, new?  I mean, it’s not like the world just magically changed in the span of 24 short hours, at least not my world. All of the problems and issues in my …

Monday, December 21, 2009 40 Comments

This is what happens when you try to multi-task by wrapping Christmas presents while you’re making homemade marshmallows to give as gifts.  The fire department wasn’t amused.  Neither was I.

Have you ever been sorting through your food pics and found a bunch that you forgot about and never posted on?  Well, that never happens to me.  Usually, I cook food and it is either gobbled up before I ever have a chance to photograph it, it’s late and …

First of all, I want to tell you how sorry I am that I’ve taken so long to announce my POM Giveaway winners!  I really and truly intended to post this several days ago.  I’ve been pushing up against a deadline on a very special freelance writing gig and …

kiss the cook!

I’m a professional musician, aspiring chef, wife, mother, daughter and sister, who used to be a lawyer in a previous life. My love of food comes from a long line of wonderful and creative Italian home cooks who didn’t always have a lot, but knew how to make a lot out of what they had. I hope that you enjoy yourself while you’re here, and visit often. read more >>
