Holiday Gift Week: My books!

I can already feel Donna rolling her eyes. I'm like that, um, ham, who runs out onto a Broadway stage and flings out his arms ... and then silence. Well, it is my theater here, and I don't exactly sell tickets, and at least it's not a political ad! Brian Polcyn and I are very proud of our new book, Salumi: The Italian Craft of Dry Curing, about how to make your own pancetta, guanciale, coppa, and other dry-cured wonders in the grand and ancient tradition of Italy. There's a reason one of the oldest examples of early civilization still exists. Because everyone can do it, and because it's delicious. Granted, not everyone wants a piece of meat hanging from the chandelier for three weeks, but for those demented and wonderful souls who do, this book is for you. You ...

The Amazing Potato Gratin
(and Le Creuset GIVEAWAY)

My daughter was assisting Donna during these videos for Le Creuset cookware (which I love, and am genuinely honored to be working with this company; seriously, not worthy, but I try). After the shoot, Addison said, angrily, real anger, "Why don't you make that potato cheesy thing for me?!" "Good lord," I said, "I'd make them all the time if I thought you'd eat them!" [I didn't say, "Because of all the things you refused to eat when I tried to make good food for you!"] I cherish her but she's difficult. Fact is, these are the easiest, best potatoes ever, and in this Le Creuset gratin dish, they not only cook perfectly, they're gorgeous to serve. Watch the video—shallots are key, and I love that you can start the dish on the stovetop. And Le Creuset is GIVING AWAY ten—yes, TEN!—of these gratin ...

Salumi Video & Tour Events

  On Saturday night in Cambridge, on a young friend’s recommendation, we dined at The Russell House Tavern, near Harvard Square, where chef Michael Scelfo and his mischievous band of cooks put out excellent high-end tavern fare. I was delighted when my 13-year-old son perused the menu and immediately asked, “Can we get the charcuterie board?” This question has only one correct response. I especially appreciated Scelfo's pork rillettes, which were topped with a creamy layer of duck fat. Scelfo has a menu that would seem to be designed exactly for me, with items such as “Pig’s Head Cake” and “Crispy Pork Belly Sandwich,” but also deviled eggs and superb fried oysters. But it was the fact that he, like so many other chefs, offered charcuterie. Indeed the charcuterie or salumi board is now ubiquitous in American restaurants. A charcuterie board even made it onto an episode ...

Sunday Breakfast—Bacon, Eggs, Grits

A Sunday breakfast. Photo by Donna Turner Ruhlman.

Now that the kids are back in school and Donna and I are back from travel, life returns to its homey routine. Which happily includes an actual late Sunday morning breakfast. It's one of the best times to cook and can be one of the most satisfying meals of the week. First of all, I've got to say it loud: GRITS! Grits are fabulous and I can't tell you how many people taste them and say they can't believe people don't eat them more often. Honestly, you should make them a staple (the butter-poached shrimp and grits in Ruhlman's Twenty is one of my favorite dishes, period). Just be sure to use real grits (instant grits are not grits). I used Bob's ...
