Someone said the other day that preserved lemons were out of fashion. They might be, but not in my kitchen. It is harder to find really good ones, tho, so it is a boon to make your own.
Some dishes need a tangy dressing – salads appreciate it, and Brussels Sprouts really pick themselves up when they come within cooee of a tangy dressing.
We roast Brussels Sprouts and serve with a dressing with preserved lemons and spring onions. If it is the season, we toss in cumquat juice and peel. This salad is AMAZING.
The problem with these $200 pp ramen restaurants in SF is (1) I'm glad people are going, I know why restauranteurs in this city feel they need to focus on the top end (2) most of the time, ramen and Japanese spots in SF that charge $200 are not 5x better than things that cost $40 or less in almost every global food city that isn't SF. Or even in San Mateo (which has markedly better Japanese food).
Live H5N1 avian influenza can survive in meat cooked rare, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has found.
In a study conducted this week, USDA scientists discovered that hamburgers cooked at 120 degrees Fahrenheit – the temperature of a rare steak – contained live traces of a substitute bird flu virus. The agency said that no virus was present in burgers cooked to 145 degrees (medium rare) or 160 degrees (well done).

I tried something new today and my fellow eaters and I were very fond of it. We had Twice Cooked Pork from the thewoksoflife.com website. 😋🤩
You need a slab of pork belly and Pixian Doubanjiang (spicy fermented bean paste), a leek, hot green peppers, and some other seasonings. If you can’t get shaoxing wine, replace it with dry sherry.
It took me about an hour as the pork needs to boiled first but during that time you can prepare all the other ingredients and start cooking your rice. After that it’s basically some quick stir-frying and you are done. (I also deglazed the wok with some of the pork broth and added a little more seasoning to get some sauce, but that’s not part of the recipe. 😅)
Now I need to think about what to do with the two litres of pork broth still left over.
One of my fisherman friends brought me some wild #salmon & free #corn 🙂
Cooked up for family. I'm having just a wee bit as my friend is taking me out in 2 hours.
#Migrant workers face disproportionate risk, compared to general population. According to Amy Liebman, chief program officer Migrant Clinicians Network, these workers make up the bulk of the agricultural and food processing industries. They also are more likely to lack affordable access to health care, and may hesitate to report symptoms if it means not working.
In this week's The Tastiest newsletter, we invited Michelle, the creator of @SiftandSimmer, to share her tips and recipes for making dim sum. Here's her @Flipboard Storyboard, which has recipes for all your brunch favorites, from siu mai and spring rolls to silky mango pudding. There's even a method for how to cook chicken feet, if that's what floats your culinary boat. Sadly, the Storyboard won't make you magically acquire the skills to fold and wrap dumplings, but there are plenty of tips and diagrams so you can start practising.
I wanted to have more green asparagus and since we all loved the Thai curry with it the other day, I had another go at this dish. I presented it differently this time and I think it works much better this way. Yum!
