Short version: I ask you, cherished reader, what book would you like me to write next? Update, 5/9, 8 p.m.: A winner has been chosen using randomizer: Aaron Weiss, a journalist and TV news director in Sioux City, Iowa. Thanks for commenting, Aaron, and for cooking with your family! Thank you everyone. Frankly, I was astonished by all the ideas and fascinated by the patterns. Still making my way through the nearly 500 comments. My favorite suggestion, got filtered out due to a spam issue, from regular reader and commenter, Bob Tenaglio: I’d call the book “Time; The Secret Ingredient You’ll Never See On Iron Chef,” and it ...

Matzo Ball Soup

Dig in!

I had a question for my friend and neighbor Lois Baron and her email ended thus: "By the way, Passover is almost here and I am making more schmaltz plus some highpowered horseradish. Hope you have a fabulous Easter. Love the schmaltz lady." I do love the Schmaltz Lady! She helped educate me in the ways of schmaltz, the glorious rendered chicken fat that makes everything taste better, especially things like these matzo balls, one of the greatest chicken soup garnishes ever! The photos above and below are from our app for iPads (minis too): The Book of Schmaltz: A Love Song to a Forgotten Fat, a short cookbook with twenty recipes for traditional Jewish dishes (kishke, cholent), as ...

Winner Winner! Twenty, SousVide Supreme,
and Cocktail Name

 

Introducing the "Major Award."/Photo by Donna Turner Ruhlman.

Cocktail Name Winner "Major Award," from Stefan Was, of Cleveland, OH This was chosen from many, many wonderful names, by Paulius and Claudia, and I whole-heartedly embrace this great and elegant name, in its saying Cleveland without using Cleveland, its nuanced suggestion of Christmas and fun without saying either. Poetry! "Major Award" is a reference, of course, to one of my favorite movies, "A Christmas Story," which opens in Cleveland's Public Square. Donna and I never see a box with "Fragile" written on it without saying aloud, "Fra-GEE-lay." Darren McGavin's major award was of course, the famous leg lamp. Stop by Paulius's Velvet Tango Room, and you'll see the lamp in an upstairs window. Stefan, Paulius says come on in and you'll have a Major ...

Holiday Gifts:
RUHLMAN’S TWENTY Giveaway!

"You're not going to be happy," Bill said. Bill was the editor of Ruhlman's Twenty, the guy who more or less line-drived it into play. I was meeting him at Chronicle's offices for the first time. "Why not?" "Twenty's going to be sold out." "I thought you printed a lot of copies." "Not enough." "It's December 1st, Bill—this is, like, the biggest book-buying month of the year." "I know." Which is why he said I was going to be unhappy. It wasn't even on Kindle yet (which is how I usually read my copy today, because of the search function). And which is why I'm printing one of my favorite recipes from the book below. And re-promoting it as a Superlative and Timeless Work of Culinary Artistry, as fun to read in bed as it is to cook from. Watch the video some woman I don't know ...

Yep, the good folks at Sous Vide Supreme are doing a promotional giveaway of one of their superb sous vide appliances—and a vacuum sealer! (Details below.) About ten years ago, sous vide cooking (cooking food at low precise temperatures) entered the professional kitchen in America. It's now solidly in the home kitchen with various devices for sale. For the best price/quality ratio, Sous Vide Supreme has, since its arrival in 2009, been my favorite tool. It's fabulous for home use. I slow-cook beef ribs for 48 hours for tender and juicy ribs. You can transform eggs in ways no other method can. I love putting a soft-boiled egg into soups, as in the above ramen dish. I use it monthly Click to Continue Reading
