• My Own Private Alchemy

  
  this ain't livin' — Authority: 504
  copyright meloukhia The person who taught me to eat a pomegranate was fairy-like, looking like she had stepped from the canvas of a romantic painting. Slight, sandy hair, large eyes, with a sad and sometimes dreamy expression that narrowed into intent focus on the day she introduced me to the fruit of the Punica ...

• Taking the diet out of “diet foods”

  
  The-F-Word.org — Authority: 493
  Im sitting at my favorite local indie coffeehouse staring at a large plate of cottage cheese and fresh fruit atop a bed of leafy greens paired with a side of steaming spiced apples and wishing I had my camera because the presentation is as much artistic as it is yummy. That its menu is vegetarian-friendly is one of ...

• 32 Hours in Derbyshire

  
  Ramblingspoon.com || Karen Coates — Authority: 117
  A cool afternoon tea in a remodeled stone home at Castleton, Derbyshire. When Condé Nast shuttered Gourmet last month, the move actually opened a drawerful of opportunity for me—entire files and folders of material left undone, unpublished, unseen by readers. As with any magazine, articles and ideas get stashed ...

• The Official Greasy Spoon Christmas Pudding

  
  The Greasy Spoon — Authority: 113
  Each year, Christmas seems to start earlier and earlier. The lights have gone up in Oxford Street (do you remember that dreadful "Birds Eye" affair?), and our television set has suddenly erupted into full Christmas mode. Teflon snowflakes are having a field day. I suspect sales of Charles Dickens are on the ...

• Battle of The Milk Alternatives

  
  The Jew and the Carrot — Authority: 129
    It’s sort of funny when two worlds collide unexpectedly, especially when one comes to the aid of the other. Take for example my recent search for the perfect milk alternative. I don’t dislike good ol’ cow’s milk, nor am I allergic to it. But as an observant Jew, I often find myself at odds with the ...

• Leap frogging the Pacific: Chocolate and the Acapulco Galleon

  
  Rachel Laudan — Authority: 126
  The Pacific is a terrifying ocean.  It’s not so much the storms.  The Indian Ocean and the north Atlantic, the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn trump it there.  It’s the sheer size.  Flying to Hawaii, when we lived there, and looking out the plane window every hour or so for the six hour flight from the West ...

• Cajun Duck Gumbo with Smoked Sausage and Shrimps

  
  The Greasy Spoon — Authority: 113
  Yesterday an old friend came over to our new house for dinner. I decided to make a Cajun duck gumbo . Or at least, I thought I did, as the resulting effort, although relatively appetising, tasted nothing like the genuine dish. So I did some research: Gumbo is a stew or soup popular in Louisiana and the Southern ...

• What is Jewish Food?

  
  The Jew and the Carrot — Authority: 129
  I often get asked if there is such thing as Jewish food. After all, Jews are not the only ones to smoke meat, eat couscous or make fish into little balls. So when I was asked to put together a short description of Jewish food to sit on the tables at the upcoming HAZON conference I was excited to try and answer the ...

  The Greasy Spoon — Authority: 113

But Im also fond of our own bastardised British versions too- as peddled by the Cordon Bleu Cookery Academy ,circa 1959. Heres my own recipe for a delicious and simple chickencurry. ...
