"bio": "I am a writer, editor, mother of twins, and enthusiastic home cook. I was raised by an Italian-American mother who, in the 1970s, grew her own basil (because she couldn’t find any in the local grocery stores), zucchini (for those delicious flowers), and tomatoes (because the ones in the store tasted like “a potato”). My mom taught us to love all kinds of food and revere high-quality ingredients. I am now trying to follow in my mother’s footsteps and am on a mission to help my daughters become adventurous eaters who have a healthy respect for seasonal food raised locally. My daughters and I grow vegetables and go to the farmers’ market. We also love to shop at Piedmont Grocery and Trader Joe’s. When I’m not hanging out with my daughters or cooking, I like to contribute to cookbooks (including Williams-Sonoma’s Food Made Fast and Foods of the World series), work as an editor, and write about food for \u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Denise's Kitchen\u003c/strong>. My food inspirations are M.F.K Fisher, Julia Child, and Alice Waters — three fabulous women who encompass everything I love about food.",

Also, a barrel of cheese balls never ends well. \r\n\r\nStephanie has been known to choose her company based on how much they can pack it down. Ability to endure cramped quarters, sketchy back alleys, and uncharted paths to seek out that special dish is also a plus in her book. If you fit the criteria, drop a note.

"bio": "I've been in and around the food industry since I was 16. I left it briefly to become a millionaire; after striking out at that dream I came back home to the kitchen. \r\n\r\nMy first kitchen job was at a hotel on the boardwalk in Virginia Beach making meatballs and washing dishes. The following summer I graduated to working a raw bar on the inlet where I shucked oysters and cleaned fish for the smoker. \r\n\r\nBefore diving back into the pool of stock pots I went to Hollywood to be discovered as an actor; was kind of discovered but then got lost quickly. \r\n\r\nI'm part of an interactive cooking business called \u003ca href=\"http://handsongourmet.com/\">Hands On Gourmet\u003c/a> where our Chefs cook side by side with guests. I also write the \u003ca href=\"http://handsongourmet.com/blog\">H.O.G. blog\u003c/a>.\r\n \r\nI've been a professional cook in the Bay Area for the past 15 years. My back and feet hurt on a regular basis but I still smile when I cook or dream about food. \r\nI'm a big believer in narrowing the food divide by patient kind education and not being cynical. \r\nI'm less into the politics of food and more into culture. I'm fascinated by the economics, practicality and the sociology of cuisine.\r\nI eat still Fritos and an occasional chili dog, and not just on a road trip.

"bio": "Stephanie is a writer and cookbook author recovering from her former tech-startup life. On the side she's also a media consultant, specializing in all forms of digital goodness: audio, video, print, design, and social media.\r\n\r\nAfter leaving the tech world nearly a decade ago, \u003ca title=\"The Culinary Life Comfort Food Blog\" href=\"http://www.theculinarylife.com/\">Stephanie\u003c/a> made a career jump to her lifetime love, writing. She currently writes for the Huffington Post, KQED's Bay Area Bites, NPR, and other select media outlets. Her first cookbook,\u003ca title=\"Melt Macaroni and Cheese Website\" href=\"http://www.meltmacaroni.com/\">Melt: The Art of Macaroni and Cheese\u003c/a>, is due out in fall 2013 on Little, Brown with coauthor Garrett McCord.\r\n\r\nBeing a recovering techy leaves an indelible mark, and everything Stephanie does is infused with her deep fascination with digital technology. She has been blogging since 1999, before blog engines even existed and a great readership consisted of a handful of friends who occasionally thought to check out your site. In 2005 she started her first food blog, which she repurposed in 2007 to become \u003ca title=\"The Culinary Life Newsletter\" href=\"http://www.theculinarylife.com/the-culinary-life-newsletter/\">The Culinary Life\u003c/a>.\r\n\r\nStephanie can be called many things: food writer, essayist, professional recipe developer, cookbook author, social media consultant, videographer, documentary maker, website developer, archivist of life. Despite all of these titles, she most commonly responds to \u003cem>Steph\u003c/em>.",

I hadn't thought about it in decades. The next several scenes of the film played to a distracted audience because I was too busy (falsely) reminiscing about a malty, vitamin and mineral-infused powder and how delicious a hot, milky mug of the stuff would send me off to sleep at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I went out and bought some then next morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I returned home with my prize (secret decoder ring sadly not included), I heated up some milk and stirred in three heaping tablespoons, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5ZAISx-jdw\">just as I was told to do in this commercial\u003c/a>. I took a sip and remembered something important:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn't like hot Ovaltine as a kid. Thirty years later, I still felt the same way. Rather than spend the morning being a Sulky Sue, I poured myself a cup of hot coffee instead and remembered the way I truly enjoyed the official beverage of Captain Midnight: cold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Really, really cold. I'd save my heaping tablespoons for sprinkling over vanilla ice cream and stir them in-- essentially making myself Ovaltine ice cream. More correctly, I was making myself an Ovaltine shake in a bowl because I'd stir it so much that it would soften and melt enough for me to ladle it into my mouth like cold soup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Highly caffeinated and momentarily filled with energy, I decided to go ahead and make myself some Ovaltine ice cream then and there so that I could save precious time and energy later when I'd return home, brain-fried and exhausted from work, looking for something sweet and comforting when I no longer had the will to heap or stir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I thought it would make a lovely little Christmas treat to share with my readers. Something special that wasn't another \u003ca href=\"http://michaelprocopio.wordpress.com/2010/12/09/one-fierce-holiday-cookie/\">god damned Holiday Cookie\u003c/a>. I made the ice cream in no time, but I let it sit covered in my freezer between the half-finsished bottle of limoncello and 2-lb. bag of pecans to languish uneaten and un-photographed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why? It seemed too simple to share. It wasn't enough. Almost reflexively, I felt that, since this was the Holiday Season, it needed a little extra oomph. I needed to deck this ice cream's halls with boughs of something. But what?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/12/Marshmallows.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/12/Marshmallows.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Marshmallows\" width=\"350\" height=\"233\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20354\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marshmallows were the first things that came to mind. It stood to reason that, if one would drink hot cocoa or Ovaltine garnished with cute little marshmallows, why not ice cream? It would make for a nice little trimming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I thought about swirling marshmallow fluff into the ice cream, but I wanted the option of not having every serving marshmallow-laced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What about a dollop of marshmallow fluff on top? For no discernible reason, the idea left me as cold as the ice cream shoved in my freezer. Instead, I thought I would make a marshmallow fluff whipped cream. I thought I was being brilliant, but I just wound up giving myself an ice cream-induced headache.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or, rather, an ice cream garnish-induced headache. I went through five batches, each one better than the next, but still not right. Too sticky, not flavorful enough to match the ice cream, too absolutely irritating. I couldn't get my dessert spectacular enough. Or pretty enough. I was spending so much time, money, and energy on this whole marshmallow business that I was beginning to wish I'd never made the ice cream in the first place. I just wanted the whole thing to go away. I was stressing myself out over a dessert. I felt ridiculous. And I've never been a huge marshmallow fan to begin with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I made an important connection:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way I was feeling about my Ovaltine ice cream was precisely the way I felt about Christmas-- what was initially a simple, delightful, and comforting idea had transformed into something complicated, annoying, and stress-inducing. This little exercise in making a malted ice cream became, in it's own way, an unexpected gift-- I realized that it wasn't Christmas (or my ice cream, for that matter) that I had grown to loathe, it was all the other stuff-- the irritating marshmallowy fluff-- that gets in the way:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wish lists; the awful sweaters; the cheesy and inescapable Christmas music; the garish decorations; the wasted money; the expectations; the enforced Holiday cheer; the sappy, sticky, saccharine sweetness that has fixed itself to the holiday. What was once a season of good will has transformed itself over the years into an overblown marshmallow world in the winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And anyone with sufficient marshmallow experience can tell you that marshmallows are hard, tasteless things when they get cold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then I realized another important thing: I'm being terribly hard on the poor old marshmallow. I had burdened an essentially innocuous piece of gelatinous poof with all the evils of Christmas Present. And I'm okay with that because this whole exercise has made me understand what is and is not important about both Christmas and desserts:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>a) They should both be sources of comfort and joy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>b) They should both be shared with those you love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>c) Neither of them need an excess of trimmings. They are both at their best when approached simply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the rest is just fluff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In apology to the marshmallow and to show that I bear it no true ill will, I give you a little, fluffy bonus of holiday goo: Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra mincing about together singing \"Marshmallow World.\" If these to Italians don't take it seriously, why on earth should I?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, and Merry Christmas.

However, the recipe is my own, with a special thanks to my go-to vanilla ice cream base, courtesy of \u003ca href=\"http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2009/02/vanilla-ice-cream/\">Mr. David Lebovitz\u003c/a>, who seems to know a little something about ice cream making. So I've heard. The method for making this recipe I got from him. And I like it very much, thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And p.s. As noted, I do not recommend using mini marshmallows for garnish for reasons already mentioned. They are placed in the photo for purely contrary reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Serves 2 to 4\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 cup whole milk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3/4 cups light brown sugar\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A heavy pinch of salt (think \"big man fingers\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2 cups heavy cream\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5 large egg yolks (think \"big chicken [insert body part of choice here]\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1/2 cup Ovaltine\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Preparation:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. In a medium saucepan, warm the milk, sugar, and salt long enough to dissolve sugar. If the mixture looks a trifle curdled, do not panic, just blame the brown sugar and move on. There is straining involved later in this recipe and all will be fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Pour the cream into a medium-sized bowl and set a fine mesh strainer on top.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add some of the warm milk mixture to the eggs and whisk constantly. Pour the now-warm yolks into the sauce pan with the rest of the milk and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly and scraping the sides and bottom of the pan with a spatula as you go. When the mixture looks like custard, it is precisely because that is what you have made. When it is thick enough to coat the back of your spatula, remove from heat and pour custard through the mesh strainer and into the awaiting cream. Stir in the Ovaltine and vanilla extract. Feel free to add or subtract the amount of Ovaltine recommended. It's your ice cream, so make it as intense or feeble as you dare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Set your bowl of ice cream base into a larger, ice-filled bowl and stir until cool. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, then go ahead and freeze it in your ice cream maker (provided you have an ice cream maker. If you do not have an ice cream maker, return custard to your refrigerator until you have purchased one, then proceed) according to the manufacturer's instructions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. If you insist upon garnishing, I suggest adding a light dusting of both cocoa powder and Ovaltine powder for the finish. I do not recommend adding the mini marshmallows as seen in the above photograph. They are to be avoided for reasons twice mentioned or alluded to. If, however you still insist upon using marshmallows, I suggest placing your Ovaltine ice cream in a microwave for 90 seconds on high. When the ice cream is fairly bubbling, add marshmallows, then take a moment to seriously reconsider your priorities.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And I've never been a huge marshmallow fan to begin with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I made an important connection:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way I was feeling about my Ovaltine ice cream was precisely the way I felt about Christmas-- what was initially a simple, delightful, and comforting idea had transformed into something complicated, annoying, and stress-inducing. This little exercise in making a malted ice cream became, in it's own way, an unexpected gift-- I realized that it wasn't Christmas (or my ice cream, for that matter) that I had grown to loathe, it was all the other stuff-- the irritating marshmallowy fluff-- that gets in the way:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wish lists; the awful sweaters; the cheesy and inescapable Christmas music; the garish decorations; the wasted money; the expectations; the enforced Holiday cheer; the sappy, sticky, saccharine sweetness that has fixed itself to the holiday. What was once a season of good will has transformed itself over the years into an overblown marshmallow world in the winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And anyone with sufficient marshmallow experience can tell you that marshmallows are hard, tasteless things when they get cold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then I realized another important thing: I'm being terribly hard on the poor old marshmallow. I had burdened an essentially innocuous piece of gelatinous poof with all the evils of Christmas Present. And I'm okay with that because this whole exercise has made me understand what is and is not important about both Christmas and desserts:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>a) They should both be sources of comfort and joy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>b) They should both be shared with those you love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>c) Neither of them need an excess of trimmings. They are both at their best when approached simply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the rest is just fluff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In apology to the marshmallow and to show that I bear it no true ill will, I give you a little, fluffy bonus of holiday goo: Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra mincing about together singing \"Marshmallow World.\" If these to Italians don't take it seriously, why on earth should I?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, and Merry Christmas.

As noted, I do not recommend using mini marshmallows for garnish for reasons already mentioned.

In a medium saucepan, warm the milk, sugar, and salt long enough to dissolve sugar. If the mixture looks a trifle curdled, do not panic, just blame the brown sugar and move on. There is straining involved later in this recipe and all will be fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Pour the cream into a medium-sized bowl and set a fine mesh strainer on top.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add some of the warm milk mixture to the eggs and whisk constantly. Pour the now-warm yolks into the sauce pan with the rest of the milk and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly and scraping the sides and bottom of the pan with a spatula as you go. When the mixture looks like custard, it is precisely because that is what you have made. When it is thick enough to coat the back of your spatula, remove from heat and pour custard through the mesh strainer and into the awaiting cream. Stir in the Ovaltine and vanilla extract. Feel free to add or subtract the amount of Ovaltine recommended. It's your ice cream, so make it as intense or feeble as you dare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Set your bowl of ice cream base into a larger, ice-filled bowl and stir until cool. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, then go ahead and freeze it in your ice cream maker (provided you have an ice cream maker. If you do not have an ice cream maker, return custard to your refrigerator until you have purchased one, then proceed) according to the manufacturer's instructions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I do not recommend adding the mini marshmallows as seen in the above photograph. They are to be avoided for reasons twice mentioned or alluded to. If, however you still insist upon using marshmallows, I suggest placing your Ovaltine ice cream in a microwave for 90 seconds on high. When the ice cream is fairly bubbling, add marshmallows, then take a moment to seriously reconsider your priorities.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Well, in English, it would be a Yule Log, a fat jellyroll of a cake that's filled and rolled into a long log shape, then iced and decorated to look like a branch fallen in the forest, complete with grooved bark, broken-off stumps,and cute little mushrooms clustered here and there, all under a dusting of powdered sugar \"snow.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Typically, the \"wood\" of the log is a light, spongy cake, baked in a thin layer on a sheet pan. Flexibility is the key here, as the cake needs to keep its shape when rolled up without cracking, smushing, or falling apart. So, most bûche de Noël recipes start with genoise, a French-style sponge cake made from egg yolks, sugar, and a small amount of flour, lightened with stiffly whipped egg whites. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Personally, though, I find that while genoise has a nice springy texture, it tastes like very little, which may be why, in most French desserts, it's usually brushed with liquor or syrups then smothered in fillings and glazes. For true tree-bark verisimilitude, the filling and frosting is typically a truffle-rich, deep-brown chocolate or mocha buttercream. Decorations are exuberant and goofy: bright green-and-red marzipan holly leaves, meringue or marzipan mushrooms, little chocolate banners scrolled in icing spelling out \u003cem>Joyeux Noel. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Classic, then, means old-fashioned, butter-heavy and frankly, a little tacky. But still, the concept remains festive and fun. Why not come up with a seasonal, local cake made for a California Christmas? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, to start: no more foam-rubber genoise. Instead, an equally light but more substantial almond cake, using whole eggs beaten to a thick cream, then folded together with toasted almonds, flour, and a surprise splash of hot milk. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And instead of a mouthful of chocolate-flavored butter, the filling is a creamy blend of mild fresh goat cheese (chevre) and quark, lightened with whipped cream and flavored with tangerine or clementine zest. I love \u003ca href=\"http://www.springhillcheese.com\">Spring Hill Jersey Cheese Company\u003c/a>'s vanilla quark, a mild, spreadable fresh cheese speckled with real vanilla bean, which you can find at many farmer's markets around the Bay Area, but you could substitute \u003ca href=\"http://www.cowgirlcreamery.com/cheeses.asp\">Cowgirl Creamery\u003c/a>'s fromage blanc, or use whipped cream cheese or mascarpone instead. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To decorate, cover your log in lightly toasted almond slices for a rough, eucalyptus-looking bark. Surround with fresh or sugar-dusted rosemary sprigs and whole clementines with leaves or the dried clementine slices sold by local farm \u003ca href=\"http://cuesa.org/farm/everything-under-sun\">Everything Under the Sun\u003c/a>. Finally, add a few fat dried figs, poached to plumpness in spiced wine or tea. Nuts, citrus, fresh cheese, dried fruit: that's the taste of California in the wintertime. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Happy Holidays!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>California Bûche de Noël \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSince both the filling and the cake mixtures require a lot of beating, a stand mixer comes in very handy here. However, you can also use a hand-held electric mixer. Feel free to substitute walnuts or hazelnuts for the almonds; omit almond extract and amaretto. You can make cake, filling, and garnishes the day before serving; filled and rolled, it will keep well in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Add the garnishes just before serving. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Makes:\u003c/strong> 1 cake, serves 8-10\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Almond Cake \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Ingredients:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n1 cup sliced almonds, divided\u003cbr>\n¾ cup flour\u003cbr>\n1 tsp baking powder\u003cbr>\n¼ tsp salt\u003cbr>\n2 eggs\u003cbr>\n1 tsp vanilla\u003cbr>\n¼ tsp almond extract\u003cbr>\n2 tbsp amaretto liqueur, optional\u003cbr>\n1 cup + 1 tsp sugar\u003cbr>\n½ cup milk\u003cbr>\n1 tbsp butter\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Preparation:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n1.

To prepare almonds, spread slices out on a baking sheet and bake for 5-8 minutes at 325 degrees, until they smell toasty and are light golden brown in spots. Remove from oven and let cool. Measure out 1/3 cup of almonds, and set remaining almonds aside. Toss 1/3 cup almonds with 1 tsp sugar. Chop finely or, using a food processor or blender, pulse in short bursts into a coarse powder. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Stir in ground almonds. Set aside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Beat eggs with vanilla, almond extract, and 1 tbsp amaretto (if using) for 1 minute. Add sugar a little at a time, beating vigorously for at least 5 minutes, until mixture is very thick (about the consistency of soft mayonnaise) and a pale creamy-yellow. When you lift the beaters, the mixture should form a ribbon as it falls back into the bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Over low heat, heat milk and butter together until butter is melted and milk is hot but not boiling. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Gently fold flour mixture in eggs. Pour in milk and butter and stir gently until batter is smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until top is pale golden and springs back when pressed with a fingertip. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Holding onto the parchment, lift cake off baking sheet and reverse onto prepared tea towel. Peel off parchment and discard. Using a small sharp knife, trim off any hard or crunchy edges. Starting at the short end closest to you, roll the cake and towel together away from you into a fat log. Set aside to cool for an hour or so. (It’s important to roll up the cake while still hot, so it will stay flexible as it cools.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chevre-Citrus Filling\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIf you're a goat cheese hater, substitute whipped cream cheese or Neufchatel.

Well, in English, it would be a Yule Log, a fat jellyroll of a cake that's filled and rolled into a long log shape, then iced and decorated to look like a branch fallen in the forest, complete with grooved bark, broken-off stumps,and cute little mushrooms clustered here and there, all under a dusting of powdered sugar \"snow.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Typically, the \"wood\" of the log is a light, spongy cake, baked in a thin layer on a sheet pan. Flexibility is the key here, as the cake needs to keep its shape when rolled up without cracking, smushing, or falling apart. So, most bûche de Noël recipes start with genoise, a French-style sponge cake made from egg yolks, sugar, and a small amount of flour, lightened with stiffly whipped egg whites. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Personally, though, I find that while genoise has a nice springy texture, it tastes like very little, which may be why, in most French desserts, it's usually brushed with liquor or syrups then smothered in fillings and glazes. For true tree-bark verisimilitude, the filling and frosting is typically a truffle-rich, deep-brown chocolate or mocha buttercream. Decorations are exuberant and goofy: bright green-and-red marzipan holly leaves, meringue or marzipan mushrooms, little chocolate banners scrolled in icing spelling out \u003cem>Joyeux Noel. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Classic, then, means old-fashioned, butter-heavy and frankly, a little tacky. But still, the concept remains festive and fun. Why not come up with a seasonal, local cake made for a California Christmas? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Instead, an equally light but more substantial almond cake, using whole eggs beaten to a thick cream, then folded together with toasted almonds, flour, and a surprise splash of hot milk. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And instead of a mouthful of chocolate-flavored butter, the filling is a creamy blend of mild fresh goat cheese (chevre) and quark, lightened with whipped cream and flavored with tangerine or clementine zest. I love \u003ca href=\"http://www.springhillcheese.com\">Spring Hill Jersey Cheese Company\u003c/a>'s vanilla quark, a mild, spreadable fresh cheese speckled with real vanilla bean, which you can find at many farmer's markets around the Bay Area, but you could substitute \u003ca href=\"http://www.cowgirlcreamery.com/cheeses.asp\">Cowgirl Creamery\u003c/a>'s fromage blanc, or use whipped cream cheese or mascarpone instead. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To decorate, cover your log in lightly toasted almond slices for a rough, eucalyptus-looking bark. Surround with fresh or sugar-dusted rosemary sprigs and whole clementines with leaves or the dried clementine slices sold by local farm \u003ca href=\"http://cuesa.org/farm/everything-under-sun\">Everything Under the Sun\u003c/a>. Finally, add a few fat dried figs, poached to plumpness in spiced wine or tea. Nuts, citrus, fresh cheese, dried fruit: that's the taste of California in the wintertime. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Happy Holidays!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>California Bûche de Noël \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSince both the filling and the cake mixtures require a lot of beating, a stand mixer comes in very handy here. However, you can also use a hand-held electric mixer. Feel free to substitute walnuts or hazelnuts for the almonds; omit almond extract and amaretto. You can make cake, filling, and garnishes the day before serving; filled and rolled, it will keep well in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Add the garnishes just before serving. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Makes:\u003c/strong> 1 cake, serves 8-10\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Almond Cake \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Ingredients:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n1 cup sliced almonds, divided\u003cbr>\n¾ cup flour\u003cbr>\n1 tsp baking powder\u003cbr>\n¼ tsp salt\u003cbr>\n2 eggs\u003cbr>\n1 tsp vanilla\u003cbr>\n¼ tsp almond extract\u003cbr>\n2 tbsp amaretto liqueur, optional\u003cbr>\n1 cup + 1 tsp sugar\u003cbr>\n½ cup milk\u003cbr>\n1 tbsp butter\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Preparation:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n1.

I haven't made Christmas cookies since discovering I had a gluten sensitivity, a sad, sad situation that many gluten-free folks experience. Learning a new kind of baking is scary, and all it takes is one flop to make sure you never make another attempt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, I just never tried. I figured I could never compete with my grandma's gingerbread recipe that I grew up with, and the idea of duplicating her perfectly tender recipe without using wheat flour threw me for a loop. This year, I got over myself. And guess what? The gingerbread cookies I made were nothing short of incredible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/12/gluten-free-gingerbread-men3.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/12/gluten-free-gingerbread-men3.jpg\" alt=\"Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies Recipe\" title=\"Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies Recipe\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-19949\">\u003c/a>There's a trick to working with gluten-free dough, since it's much stickier than doughs made with wheat flour. It needs to be kept chilled, and once it's been cut with cookie cutters, moving it from one place to another is nearly impossible because it likes to hang onto to everything it touches. The best way to work with gluten-free cookie doughs is to roll it out between two pieces of parchment and then stick it in the fridge for 30 minutes. Once it's chilled, you can cut out your shapes with cookie cutters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point I recommend removing the excess dough to be re-rolled, and then cutting the parchment around the cookies with a pair of scissors. The cookies can then be moved without contorting into ridiculous shapes, and since they're on parchment, they won't stick to the cookie sheet after they're done baking. Once they're done, I move the baked cookies while they're still secured to the parchment, leaving them on the paper until they're completely cooled and not likely to break into pieces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, I found the funniest cookie cutters I've seen in a long time: \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YUBQHO?ie=UTF8&tag=httpwwwwasabi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003YUBQHO\" rel=\"nofollow\">Fred & Friends Ninjabread Men Cookie Cutters\u003c/a>.

I haven't made Christmas cookies since discovering I had a gluten sensitivity, a sad, sad situation that many gluten-free folks experience. Learning a new kind of baking is scary, and all it takes is one flop to make sure you never make another attempt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, I just never tried. I figured I could never compete with my grandma's gingerbread recipe that I grew up with, and the idea of duplicating her perfectly tender recipe without using wheat flour threw me for a loop. This year, I got over myself. And guess what? The gingerbread cookies I made were nothing short of incredible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/12/gluten-free-gingerbread-men3.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/12/gluten-free-gingerbread-men3.jpg\" alt=\"Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies Recipe\" title=\"Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies Recipe\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-19949\">\u003c/a>There's a trick to working with gluten-free dough, since it's much stickier than doughs made with wheat flour. It needs to be kept chilled, and once it's been cut with cookie cutters, moving it from one place to another is nearly impossible because it likes to hang onto to everything it touches. The best way to work with gluten-free cookie doughs is to roll it out between two pieces of parchment and then stick it in the fridge for 30 minutes. Once it's chilled, you can cut out your shapes with cookie cutters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point I recommend removing the excess dough to be re-rolled, and then cutting the parchment around the cookies with a pair of scissors. The cookies can then be moved without contorting into ridiculous shapes, and since they're on parchment, they won't stick to the cookie sheet after they're done baking. Once they're done, I move the baked cookies while they're still secured to the parchment, leaving them on the paper until they're completely cooled and not likely to break into pieces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A tip on separating the leaves -- I found that the easiest way to do so was to keep trimming the bottom stem as I peeled away the layers.

I'm going to wax poetic about this cookbook. I have now cooked numerous recipes from \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Williams-Sonoma-Cooking-Home-Chuck-Williams/dp/1740899776/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1291872578&sr=8-1\">\u003cem>Cooking at Home\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and spent a fair amount of time just flipping through it, and I have to say that I haven't fallen this hard for a cookbook since \u003ca href=\"http://content.markbittman.com/how-to-cook-everything\">Mark Bittman's\u003cem> How to Cook Everything\u003c/em>\u003c/a> years ago. It is everything I love in a cookbook: comprehensive coverage with simple to prepare recipes that hearken back to an older style of real home cooking without being fussy or out of date. Mr. Williams (who is now in his 90s) has been around the kitchen for a while now, and while his book (written with Kristine Kidd) reflects his decades of experience the recipes and writing style are contemporary and engaging. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My first reaction to \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Williams-Sonoma-Cooking-Home-Chuck-Williams/dp/1740899776/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1291872578&sr=8-1\">\u003cem>Cooking at Home\u003c/em>\u003c/a> was excitement over the sheer number of recipes included. The cover claims 1,000, but I wonder if that number is actually a little low as most chapters include not only pages of recipes laid out in a traditional format, but brief recipe synopses of old standbys at the start of each chapter (like the pies and tarts introduction which includes a page detailing the basics for making standard pie fillings like apple-spice and peach-raspberry). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the gamut of classic recipes seem to have made the cut -- from dishes like pot roast (recipe below), Coq au Vin, and Boston Baked Beans -– Mexican, Spanish, Indian and Asian foods are also spattered throughout. And I think this is exactly why I love this book so much. Unlike the old \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Joy-Cooking-Irma-S-Rombauer/dp/0026045702\">Joy of Cooking\u003c/a> (and I have to say this book does remind me of that one in its expansive coverage of almost every type of food and cooking technique), \u003cem>Cooking at Home\u003c/em> mostly emphasizes traditional American fare, but also includes a hodgepodge of ethnicities and world cultures that more accurately reflects who we are as a nation. From fish tacos to Chile Fried Rice and Crab, the basics for trying a dish or ingredient (like fish sauce) that may be outside your comfort zone are presented in a calm, easy and nonthreatening way, inviting you to branch out a little. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the Williams-Sonoma brand tagged on to the title, I was concerned the recipes might need specialty ingredients that needed to be purchased at their store, but was happy to see instead that there is an emphasis on whole natural foods, tried and true cooking techniques, and the real process of home cooking. The gimmicks are few. There are occasional references to using specialty products, such as crocks for French Onion Soup Gratineé or a note about how convenient a mandoline can be when making Shaved Fennel and Mushroom Salad. Set in the margin notes, I saw these as covert references to the many coveted yet gratuitous products the Williams-Sonoma store sells (then again, I'm a skeptic at heart). But these are few and tangential to the real purpose of the book: making wholesome food from scratch. The cherry pie calls for real pitted cherries, not the jarred mix from the store; and from what I can tell, there is no mention of fancy demi-glace, which seems to be for sale on every other page in the holiday Williams-Sonoma catalog. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with other expansive cookbooks, pretty much all major topics are covered. From breakfast to pasta and pizza, meat and fish, and vegetables and grains, plus a section for every type of sweet you can imagine (pies and tarts, fruit desserts, cheese and cheesecakes, cookies and brownies, and the list goes on). There are also a few bonus sections that I found appealing; such as the \u003cstrong>Cooking Basics\u003c/strong> chapter, which opens the book and should be presented to anyone who doesn't know how to cook but wants to learn. With information ranging from how to outfit and stock your kitchen to directions on how to follow a recipe, plus essential knife and cooking techniques, this is really a primer for any novice and a great refresher for old hands. But what I really loved about the book's opener was its listing of basic recipes, such as any type of stock you could hope to make (from various kinds of beef and chicken to fish and vegetable), clarified butter, preserved lemons and breadcrumbs. This one chapter alone is a fantastically succinct resource for any kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book's many chapters begin with a type of encyclopedic opener. These pages attempt to provide background information, cooking techniques, and the brief recipe synopses I mentioned earlier. So in the salad section, you get a briefing on the various types of salads, short recipes for basic dressings, plus notes on how to shop for and wash greens, keep things crisp, test your flavors, and, finally, present your dish. There is also a \u003cstrong>Greens Glossary\u003c/strong> listing the many types of greens you can buy, notes on salad components (breaking a salad down into herbs, proteins, legumes, cheeses, etc.). And this is all before the salad recipes even begin. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the facts don't end in the section introductions. Beside each recipe in the margin is a helpful nugget (such as whether or not you should rinse your rice or tips to frying crunchy potatoes); information that may be helpful to the recipe (such as choosing the right type of dried fruit for a chutney) or a variance of the recipe (like turning the Peach Upside-Down Cake into one with pineapple).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that the holiday season is upon us, I'm contemplating giving this book to a few people. The core cooking basics make it the perfect gift for someone new to home cooking, but it's also ideal for an experienced home chef as the recipes are great reminders for how to make old favorites that you may have forgotten or provide a twist on something you've made for years but may be a little bored with. I've already given a copy to my friend Christina (of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2009/11/12/lasagna-illuminated/\">Lasagna Illuminated\u003c/a> fame) not because she needs any help in the kitchen (she may be one of the best home chefs I've ever met) but because the breadth of the recipes combined with the numerous facts on food and technique are helpful and also just plain fun to read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/12/potroast.jpg\" alt=\"pot roast\" title=\"pot roast\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19631\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Classic Pot Roast\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n(\u003cem>printed with permission from Weldon Owen\u003c/em>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I made this dish earlier this week on a night when my daughters had two friends over for a rainy day of play. At around 4 PM all four girls stopped by the kitchen to ask what I was making. When I responded \"pot roast,\" I was surprised none of them had heard of it. What was once the archetypal American dinner now seems to be unique and unusual. When I then explained that pot roast was a beef dish served in gravy with potatoes and carrots, all four girls yelled \"gravy!\" and then the two playmates asked, \"Can we stay for dinner?\" As they later ate their dinner while watching \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066327/\">Santa Claus is Coming to Town\u003c/a>, I saw each girl clean her plate.

Turn the roast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the oil. Add the roast and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer the roast to a plate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat in the pot. Add the chopped carrots, onion, and celery and sauté over medium-high heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons flour and cook for about 1 minute. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil, and deglaze the pan, stirring to dislodge any browned bits on the pan bottom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Add the roast back to the Dutch oven, cover, and bake, turning the roast occasionally, until the meat is very tender, about 3 hours. Remove the pot from the oven and transfer the roast to a platter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl; discard the solids. Skim any fat from the surface of the cooking liquid. Return the roast and liquid to the pot and stir in the potatoes, carrot pieces, and pearl onions. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and stir in the peas. Re-cover and bake until all the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transfer the roast to a cutting board, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for about 10 minutes. To serve, cut the roast against the grain into slices and divide among warmed individual shallow bowls. Using a large spoon, divide the vegetables and cooking liquid among the plates. Season with salt and pepper and serve right away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were two margin notes with this recipe:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Slow-Cooker Method:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nPlace the browned roast and broth mixture in the slow cooker, cover, and cook for 8 hours on low. Strain and skim the liquids; cook for 1 hour longer with the vegetables, adding the peas during the last 15 minutes of cooking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Best Pot Roast\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nMany believe that chuck roast, a muscular shoulder section of the steer, makes the best pot roast. Not actually roasted at all but braised in a savory cooking liquid, the beef becomes meltingly tender and juicy after long, slow cooking in a covered pot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Disclosure: A friend who is also an employee of Weldon Owen, the publisher of Cooking at Home, suggested I review the book for Bay Area Bites but she did not work directly on the production or editing of the book.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Beside each recipe in the margin is a helpful nugget (such as whether or not you should rinse your rice or tips to frying crunchy potatoes); information that may be helpful to the recipe (such as choosing the right type of dried fruit for a chutney) or a variance of the recipe (like turning the Peach Upside-Down Cake into one with pineapple).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that the holiday season is upon us, I'm contemplating giving this book to a few people. The core cooking basics make it the perfect gift for someone new to home cooking, but it's also ideal for an experienced home chef as the recipes are great reminders for how to make old favorites that you may have forgotten or provide a twist on something you've made for years but may be a little bored with. I've already given a copy to my friend Christina (of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2009/11/12/lasagna-illuminated/\">Lasagna Illuminated\u003c/a> fame) not because she needs any help in the kitchen (she may be one of the best home chefs I've ever met) but because the breadth of the recipes combined with the numerous facts on food and technique are helpful and also just plain fun to read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/12/potroast.jpg\" alt=\"pot roast\" title=\"pot roast\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19631\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Classic Pot Roast\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n(\u003cem>printed with permission from Weldon Owen\u003c/em>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I made this dish earlier this week on a night when my daughters had two friends over for a rainy day of play. At around 4 PM all four girls stopped by the kitchen to ask what I was making. When I responded \"pot roast,\" I was surprised none of them had heard of it. What was once the archetypal American dinner now seems to be unique and unusual. When I then explained that pot roast was a beef dish served in gravy with potatoes and carrots, all four girls yelled \"gravy!\" and then the two playmates asked, \"Can we stay for dinner?\" As they later ate their dinner while watching \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066327/\">Santa Claus is Coming to Town\u003c/a>, I saw each girl clean her plate. I guess some dishes never go out of style.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Makes:\u003c/strong> 6-8 servings\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5 Tbsp flour\u003cbr>\nSalt and ground pepper\u003cbr>\n1 Beef chuck roast (3-4 lb)\u003cbr>\n2 Tbsp unsalted butter\u003cbr>\n2 Tbsp canola oil\u003cbr>\n4 Carrots, 2 finely chopped and 2 cut into 1-inch pieces\u003cbr>\n1 Yellow onion, chopped\u003cbr>\n1 Celery stalk, chopped\u003cbr>\n3 Cups beef stock\u003cbr>\n3 Yukon gold potatoes, about 1 lb total weight, peeled and quartered\u003cbr>\n1 Cup frozen pearl onions (I used fresh cut in half)\u003cbr>\n½ cup frozen peas\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Preparation:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a large bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons of the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Turn the roast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the oil. Add the roast and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer the roast to a plate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat in the pot. Add the chopped carrots, onion, and celery and sauté over medium-high heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons flour and cook for about 1 minute. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil, and deglaze the pan, stirring to dislodge any browned bits on the pan bottom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Add the roast back to the Dutch oven, cover, and bake, turning the roast occasionally, until the meat is very tender, about 3 hours. Remove the pot from the oven and transfer the roast to a platter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl; discard the solids. Skim any fat from the surface of the cooking liquid. Return the roast and liquid to the pot and stir in the potatoes, carrot pieces, and pearl onions. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and stir in the peas. Re-cover and bake until all the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transfer the roast to a cutting board, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for about 10 minutes. To serve, cut the roast against the grain into slices and divide among warmed individual shallow bowls. Using a large spoon, divide the vegetables and cooking liquid among the plates. Season with salt and pepper and serve right away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were two margin notes with this recipe:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Slow-Cooker Method:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nPlace the browned roast and broth mixture in the slow cooker, cover, and cook for 8 hours on low. Strain and skim the liquids; cook for 1 hour longer with the vegetables, adding the peas during the last 15 minutes of cooking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Best Pot Roast\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nMany believe that chuck roast, a muscular shoulder section of the steer, makes the best pot roast. Not actually roasted at all but braised in a savory cooking liquid, the beef becomes meltingly tender and juicy after long, slow cooking in a covered pot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Everyone’s getting fired up about brining birds, smoking hogs, roasting vegetables, buttering breads and sampling sweets. But it’s the same old tired stuff as last year… and the year before that. Maybe a few culinary twists but for the most part the menu doesn’t change. We’re creatures of habit, and you know what? I’m okay with that. In the past I used to fight it, but that got me nowhere. I was thrilled when two years ago my friend made goat stew for a pot luck holiday get-together. And I told everyone “See see, isn’t that great! Something different and interesting.” Some of my guests liked it but most vetoed the notion! The holiday menu will never budge, so why bother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So you might be asking the question “What can I do to change it up a bit...add some sass to the meal without everyone screaming foul?” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How about making a few changes to your side dishes. After all, it is really the sides that steals the show on the holiday table -- the supporting cast that props up the celebrity bird, robust ham, crab or vegetarian main-- the unsung heroes. Here are two easy-to-make dishes that will add unique yet familiar flavors to the holiday meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first one is a beet salad with pear and Mandarin oranges. The pear adds a wonderfully unique texture to the salad while the floral acidity of the orange helps to complement the fatty quality of the mains. It’s a great dish for people that SWEAR that they don’t like beets. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/11/beet-pear-salad500.jpg\" alt=\"Roasted Beet and Pear Salad with Satsuma Mandarin Orange\" title=\"Roasted Beet and Pear Salad with Satsuma Mandarin Orange\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19480\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Roasted Beet and Pear Salad with Satsuma Mandarin Orange\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Serves:\u003c/strong> 6\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The beets can be cooked one or two days in advance.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n3 lbs medium to large sized Chioggia beets.

Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1-1 1/2 hrs. At the hour mark take out and pierce with the tip of a paring knife or toothpick to check if finished.

When cool, simply take an old kitchen towel and rub off the skin. Cut off both ends and then cut beets into 4, 6 or 8 piece wedges, depending on desired size. Place into bowl. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5.

I found that fennel, leeks and a shot of Pernod did just that. The sweet leeks and slight liquorice flavor paired nicely with the earthy mushroom cream and fresh green beans. I also removed the tired old onions and replaced them with toasted pecans and buttery breadcrumbs. The last thing to note is that it’s not as rich and creamy as you might remember.

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Cook beans in salted boiling water, roughly 4 minutes. Remove and shock in ice water. Cut the beans in half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Place a sauce pot on high heat and add a teaspoon of cooking oil. Get it super hot and then add the mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms quickly and then remove from pan. You want them to be brown, crispy and somewhat dry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> 4. Turn down heat to medium low; add another teaspoon of oil and a small amount of butter. Add leeks and fennel. And cook until soft. At that point add garlic and thyme and cook for a couple minutes more. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Deglaze the pan with wine. Stir and let cook for 30 seconds. Add heavy cream and turn down to low. Stir mixture and let the cream reduce by almost ¾. This will make the mixture thick and sweet! Add vegetable stock and reduce by half. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Season mixture with salt and pepper. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. In another pan melt a tablespoon of butter. Cook until it starts to turn brown. Add bread/stuffing mixture and stir. Remove from heat. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. In a large bowl toss the beans, mushrooms, fennel cream and pecans together. Add a titch more salt. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>9. Place in a casserole dish and cover with stuffing mixture. Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes. Then crank up broiler and crisp up stuffing. Depending on your broiler I would think that 30 seconds would do the trick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. Remove and serve hot! \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Notes:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n* The salt in the bean cooking liquid is twofold. It flavors but also helps retain the green color.\u003cbr>\n* Make sure not to overcook the beans! A little under done is better than over cooked.\u003cbr>\n* Taste the mixture before you add stuffing and bake. You might want more Pernod or seasoning.\u003cbr>\n* You can also use stale bread and make your own topping. \u003c/p>\n\n",

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Cook beans in salted boiling water, roughly 4 minutes. Remove and shock in ice water. Cut the beans in half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Place a sauce pot on high heat and add a teaspoon of cooking oil. Get it super hot and then add the mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms quickly and then remove from pan. You want them to be brown, crispy and somewhat dry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> 4. Turn down heat to medium low; add another teaspoon of oil and a small amount of butter. Add leeks and fennel. And cook until soft. At that point add garlic and thyme and cook for a couple minutes more. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Deglaze the pan with wine. Stir and let cook for 30 seconds. Add heavy cream and turn down to low. Stir mixture and let the cream reduce by almost ¾. This will make the mixture thick and sweet! Add vegetable stock and reduce by half. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Season mixture with salt and pepper. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. In another pan melt a tablespoon of butter. Cook until it starts to turn brown. Add bread/stuffing mixture and stir. Remove from heat. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. In a large bowl toss the beans, mushrooms, fennel cream and pecans together. Add a titch more salt. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>9. Place in a casserole dish and cover with stuffing mixture. Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes. Then crank up broiler and crisp up stuffing. Depending on your broiler I would think that 30 seconds would do the trick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. Remove and serve hot! \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A tip with the vanilla bean, if it's too hard to split in half, throw the entire bean in the saucepan so that it softens as the milk warms up. Once it's pliable again, fish it out, splice it open, and scrape the seeds out. Meanwhile, I whisked together some sugar, cornstarch, and eggs. When the milk boiled, I whisked in the egg mixture. As it heated up again, the mixture thickened up to a pudding-like consistency.

Besides the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/10/20/comforting-chicken-soup/\" title=\"Chicken Soup Recipe\">requisite chicken soup\u003c/a> that we all need in our cooking arsenal, there's another kind of dish that will cure what ails you when you've contracted the creeping crud: congee. For those not in the know, congee, also known as \u003cem>jook\u003c/em>, is a \u003ca href=\"http://www.homemade-chinese-soups.com/congee.html\" title=\"All About Congee\">creamy rice porridge that's a staple in Asian cultures\u003c/a>. Consisting of rice that's been slowly cooked down to the point that the starches disintegrate into a bowl creamy goodness -- think risotto, only cooked longer -- congee is warm and easy to digest.
