What's Cooking?

Usually find the shallots by the garlic & onions. Creamed spinach is really easy, just takes a ton of volume to feed a bunch. Fresh Spinach Shrivels down to nothing when cooked. It’s also great flash fried. Soulard’s down by the brewery does some great fried spinach with parm. Goes great with their pork tenderloin. Edit- soulards is no longer.

Well I had to replace the shallots with diced onion and garlic. Why can I never find shallots at the grocery store? I must be looking in the wrong place.

Chef John is pretty much a sure thing in my book. Thanks—I hadn’t come across that one.

It’s food day here at the old salt mine. 

I've got a friend who works here who is a phenomenal baker. She's just got that touch and every thing she does is top notch. I won't buy baklava, and won't eat baklava if it's served. It's always too sickeningly sweet, except....... hers is outstanding.

Don't know what her trick is, and even if I sat down and made it with her I doubt I could duplicate it.
