I hope Knut would be proud. I made dinner tonight entirely out of the Kitchen of Light, a Norwegian cookbook based on a series by Andreas Viestad called New Scandinavian Cooking.

I have fallen into a habit of posting every day. I don't know when that started but I didn't so much not post yesterday on purpose as I had other things to do: driving guests around showing the town, organizing meat procurements, soaking ribs in Church-Key West Coast IPA, smoking and grilling …

When I lived in Poland back in 1991, I loved the food. I was warned that the post-Soviet economy would mean line ups, inflated prices and scarcity. Nothing could be further from the truth for the experience I had in my Baltic resort city of Kolobrzeg. But even with the zap-shacks, bigos domovi … read more »

Now is winter. Not the Yule of six weeks ago or the date on the calendar when the sun sat lowest in the sky. Now is the darkness greatest...because the Super Bowl has been won but pitchers and catchers have yet report. • In order to get me through to the first games of spring training at the end …

There is a lot of talk about food and beer as well as the shifting of beer in the UK into the home and out of the pub. This latter trend is the sort of thing that might force Stonch to break out the red flag and arm the barricades but I am a devoted stash builder and home tippler. Why? Sure there …
Session 8: Food and Beer With Lucy Saunders
Posted by on Friday, October 5, 2007 in - leave a comment
Most excellent! I forgot it was session day today and the topic is food and beer as picked by the poetical industrial complex behind Beer Haiku Daily. As it happens, a few weeks ago...or more likely months...beer cook extraordinaire Lucy Saunders was kind enough to forward a review copy of her …
