Parisian of the Month: Charlotte Puckette - (USA)
I recently met Charlotte Puckette through a mutual friend and we co-lead a food tour of the Place Aligre market. Charlotte is a chef and caterer and the author of The Ethnic Paris Cookbook. Since I was also a chef and caterer in New York before I moved here, I thought it would be interesting to hear her story, and curious to see if it was similar to mine. Charlotte still has her charming southern drawl when she speaks English and I liked her warm, easygoing personality right away. Charlotte w

Reading books to find trends and data - (USA)
First I have some news and then I have a cookbook to talk about. My news is that I have a deformed postcard to give away. It’s a proof for the Conflux banquet postcard for this year. Karen (the Conflux chair) had a few extra made so that several people could proof them and when that was all done she gave the extras to me. Anyone who wants one can email me or post a comment below here before next Sunday. I’ll pull a name out of a hat. I’m happy to post it anywhere in the world. There ar

Elizabeth David’s Beetroot Consommé - (USA)
Lori Writer / Heavy Table Before Alice Waters , Lucia Watson , and Brenda Langton , British author Elizabeth David carried the banner for fresh, local, and seasonal.

An Interview with Dr. Roy Pea: E-Learn 2008 Keynote Speaker - (USA)
Ok, I am back from a very successful E-Learn 2008 Conference in Las Vegas. I actually got home a few days ago, but it has taken a little while to catch my breath. We set attendance records with more than 1,000 attendees. We had a highly engaging and rewarding preconference symposium on e-learning in Asia with 12 participants from 12 countries. We will turn that into a special journal issue on e-learning in Asia during the next few months and perhaps a print on demand book. We also had many excel

Gkai Pad Gka-prow, Which is Spicy Thai Basil Chicken - (USA)
I know you know you know this. But there is more than one kind of basil in this world. So it makes sense that certain varieties might suit themselves better in certain situations or flavor combinations. Sweet basil ( Ocimum basilicum ) is by far the most common variety. It is widely recognized as the standard, especially in Italian cooking. It’s big, bold and flavorful. Well deserving of all the attention it receives. But genius sometime lies in the details. And I know you want to be a gen

Quick, It's Zucchini Blossom Season! - (USA)
Special to Seattlest by sous chef Ryan Tateishi, who can also be found at Canlis . “Oh look at me, I’m Alice Waters.” The baker was mocking us in a tone much like that of Homer Simpson as we unpacked the restaurant’s first squash blossoms of the season. Apparently nothing says food snob like purchasing squash blossoms. We’ll admit that there is a certain air of elitism associated with cooking with flowers, but since he makes lavender brioche everyday he shouldn’t be criticizing us.

Eggplant eggstravaganza. - (USA)
Silence Dogood here. We’re starting to get eggplant from our CSA (organic subscription farm), which of course means it’s time to start cooking them. Our CSA offers a nice selection, from the standard, hefty dark-purple “Italian” types through long, slender Asian eggplants to a small, teardrop-shaped, white-and-purple-streaked ‘Fairy Tale’ variety that’s a delight to see and eat. But how to prepare them? As a child, I hated eggplant—it always seemed bitter and bitterly oily. Not to mention the

how to host a vegetarian feast - (USA)
Have you ever struggled to figure out what to cook for vegetarian guests? As a dedicated omnivore I can’t imagine a life without bacon, but there have been times when I’ve dabbled in the world of vegetarianism and even veganism. I know just how delicious vegetarian food can be. Lately, however, I seem to be in the habit of defaulting to roasting large hunks of protein whenever we are having people over – be it pork, lamb or chicken – with no complaints. So I found it a little daunting, a f

Spicy Braised Eggplant and Tofu - (USA)
As with most cooks, either amateur or professional, I have my strengths and weaknesses. Actually, I have a lot more weaknesses than strengths. One of my cooking weaknesses was confronted in this dish: the Thai/Asian cuisine. I think I may not be alone in saying that sometimes these dishes are a bit intimidating because most of the ingredients are, well, foreign! But also, they are delicious. So I’m hoping to double-up my efforts to learn more about Asian-style cuisines in the next year or

Tagine Bil Hut: Moroccan Fish Stew with Olives, Potatoes and Preserved Lemon - (USA)
I have come to a realization that I was trying very hard not to pay attention to: Moroccan food freaks people out. There’s all those strange names and weirdo ingredients like lemons which aren’t anything like the lemons we know, and olives which only 50% (at best) of people like to begin with. That’s a shame. Truly, it makes me sad. There’s no reason to be fearful of Moroccan food (names that resist pronunciation put aside) because what it comes down to is that these dishes are things t

Pres. Bill Clinton: 1 In 3 Under 18 Obese, Overweight - (USA)
