We have survived another year. The Mayan calendar must need reinterpretation, again. and off into 2013. In celebration of the 3rd year in a decade I have my lists and look forward to yours.
The three foods I use the most: butter, raw sugar, kosher salt
The three kitchen appliances I use the most: my Kitchen-aid, micro planes, citrus juicer
The three foods I want to try this year: truffles, offall, cheese making
I doubt my first two lists surprise anyone. My third list probably gets a second look by many. Truffles have this reputation in the high end cooking communities. I have never tried them. I have shunned trying the oils or vinegars before trying the actual truffle. This year I want to try a truffle and see what all the hype is about.
Off-Fall... Some people know that I have wanted to try cooking with off-fall for a while. I have some specific pieces beef tongue, tripe, and maybe heart or lungs. Doing medieval feast I developed a curiosity. The I heard about Chris Constantino who has a successful offal restaurant in San Francisco. I plan on using his blog "offal good" as a guide.
Cheese Making should surprise no one. I have played with rennet but none of the cultures. I recently found a source of raw milk which is really essential for cheese making, cream line at a minimum, pasteurized is not even worth trying from my experience. I want to make blue cheeses, aged cheeses, mozzerella. I want to play and have fun!
I would love to get a few things from my faithful readers:
1) your own lists
2) your greatest kitchen challenges or a recipe that you are having issues with
3) what would you like to see on my blog in this coming year
email this to raging.mrs@gmail.com
Until next time, I wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2013.
