Chicken Curry: Teach Kids To Cook

Chicken Curry by James/Photo by Donna Turner Ruhlman

There are lots of ways to change the food system, and you and I aren't likely to do it. It's going to be our kids who do it. Two weeks ago I threw together a quick chicken curry and both the kids liked it, so I asked, "Is this a keeper?" and they nodded, chewing hungrily. So, last week, when 12-year-old James got home from school, I said, "We're having chicken curry tonight." He said, "Yes." I said, "You're going to make it." He didn't respond. "I'll do all the prep and you're going to make it." He said, "OK." An hour before I wanted dinner on the table, I diced an onion. I've already taught him how to hold a knife and halve, slice, or dice an onion; tonight I wanted him to see how ...

It accompanied my story on grilling. The idea that the iPad can include multiple pix (even a flip-pad presentation of cooking technique), video, text and recipes is exciting and Sideways was the first company I know of to create such a work.  I think this video is too long, more than 15 minutes, or it needs to be broken into shorter chapters, but it's not bad for a first try.  They recently posted it to youtube, so here it is.

I normally don't brine chicken.  I roast a chicken about once a week and it's a step I just don't think about since salting the bird before I roast it works perfectly fine.  Also, I don't like the skin of a brined and roasted bird—it's too thin and dehydrated.  But on Sunday, I had the time and was curious to find out if, as I've read and repeated, meat that has been brined is heavier (and therefore potentially juicier) than non-brined meat.  I also had fresh herbs left over from the dumplings in the previous post.  While I always use a rosemary brine for fried chicken, I was curious to find out if the more delicate tarragon flavor would come through in the flesh ...
