Sweet Musings with a Bitterly Sharp Wit
Anything, be it a restaurant, dish, or book, labeled as Asian gives me pause. It feels like a reductive, overly simplistic term to encompass a staggering number of cultures. Even with a fair amount of overlap with shared ingredients and techniques, it s less descriptive than the term European, which I daresay no food writer would Continue reading The post Asian Persuasion appeared first on…

Serving food that s still frozen is a capital offense. Serving food with whole ice cubes in it, however, is an asset rather than an error. After literally drinking through gallons of chilled soups over the years, pouring them into insulated mugs to sip on like savory smoothies, it s staggering that the thought didn t occur to Continue reading The post Cold as Ice appeared first on BitterSweet .
Inspiration isn t a commodity that can be bought and sold, nor is it a punctual visitor dutifully keeping an appointment on the calendar. Untamed, fickle thing that it is, it may show up late, early, or not at all, and there s no way of knowing which.

Time is the greatest commodity, far more valuable than any currency. Always in short supply, even when it seems to stretch on forever, we end up realizing it s never enough. Thyme, however I may have found the limit. Thyme s Up Thyme grows like a weed in the right conditions, which are apparently perfectly aligned with Continue reading The post Bide Your Thyme appeared first on BitterSweet .
When I got my first air fryer, there s nothing I wouldn t put in it. Whole pies, seitan roasts, random leftovers; things that absolutely did not need to be air fried, and probably would have been better if not. More than the promise of cooking with less fat, it was the convenience and speed that reeled Continue reading The post Do s and Do-ughnut s appeared first on BitterSweet .

I love a beet tartare, for the obvious pun of course, and because I have a certain penchant for beets in all forms. The closest a beet can come to emulating beef, however, is that one letter difference in name. For that, we need to call in the tomatoes. Tartare d Up Tomato tartare is a Continue reading The post Garden Variety Tartare appeared first on BitterSweet .

Even in the Continue reading The post Cook This Book: Tamu appeared first on…
