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 >>

Tutti Frutti Chicken Salad

Tuesday, August 25, 2009 27 Comments

I have a confession to make. I don’t like chicken breast.  I especially dislike the boneless, skinless kind.  Scandalous, I know, but despite its popularity in our culinary culture, I’ve just never taken to it.  I know chicken breast is a healthier, low-fat option, but I don’t really care.  …

Oven Baked Corn Flake Crumb Chicken & Blogiversary Bash Update

Friday, September 5, 2008 48 Comments

…I had a pretty decent childhood, as far as childhoods go. I would even venture to say it was a good one. I had two parents who loved each other – and me. I was enveloped in a nurturing and familiar cocoon of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. …

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.
