cross-reference

If you enjoyed my post about Valentine's Day candy, you might like one about Wicker Man-inspired pagan candy-making I just posted on my other blog. In it I take a close look at the contents of May Morrison's sweet shop (that's her selection of hares pictured above) and inquire into how to go about re-creating them.

Favorite posts from ye olde Tiny Banquet

Paul Wonner's dutch still-life with stuffed birds and chocolates from the california artists cookbook

Rainy Day Snails #12 & 35, part of my ongoing series of reviews of out-of-print cookbooks. This one is about the California Artists Cookbook (1982).

A tale of two Seventies, another out-of-print cookbook review. The subject of this one is New York Entertains by the Junior League of the City of New York (1974).

a mild cake for pleasant dreams: cornmeal cake with honey syrup and chamomile-honey crème anglaise

vegetarian pastries filled with kale, dandelion greens, green garlic, fresh dill and mint, and goats' milk feta cheese

wouldn't you buy roadside maple syrup from these two?

Every once in a while I write about dinner and a movie. The Trouble With Harry was nice with chickpea flour pancakes with black olives and sage & a celery/hazelnut/Manchego sort-of-salsa.

We set off for Maine every summer.

a thrilling rustic box of Canadian wild-caught cod

Sometimes we fall off the vegetarian wagon, usually in a moment of culinary now-or-never-ism. If it's any comfort to vegetarians poking around the archives, we were always far more likely to chomp on sea creatures than anything with expressive eyes . . . More about this subject here.

coming attractions

A trio of vaguely-Russian ice creams ~~in hope and despair of~~ in celebration of freedom for Pussy Riot: Antonovka apple & bay leaf custard; Russian tea & red currant; beetroot & cinnamon sorbet.

Luxury melons.

Bumpy eggs and other delights from my new cookbooks.

Hikers sometimes get the munchies. My hikers' cookies include dark chocolate chips, pistachios, barley flakes, dried apricots, and cacao nibs.

Sarson ka saag / Punjabi mustard greens.

I read a description of quince aioli and now I have to have some. They're not in season right now but Manhattan Fruit Exchange has some from who-knows-where.
