Your towers are really stunning. I have been wanting to buy biscuit cutters to try out this kind of presentation for various things for some time. Maybe I'll finally get off my butt and do it. Kudos. |

Re: What\'s Cooking EDF? #4
No, but I just checked out the description and reviews and it sounds like exactly what I was looking for. I think I'm going to get it this weekend.
Last week I bought The Improvisational Chef and I like it alot so far. |

Re: What\'s Cooking EDF? #4
I order from fresh direct on a pretty regular basis. I have found that it isnt any more expensive (and often cheaper) than a nyc grocery store or things like paper towels, canned goods, spices, soap, etc. Even sharon's sorbet, which you can find for 2.50 each on fresh direct versus 3 dollars plus at a normal grocery store Plus you don't have to worry about carrying those large items back to your apartment.
I generally don't get meat, chicken, fish, veggies, or fruit from fresh direct because it isn't really any cheaper and I would prefer to hand pick these sorts of products. But for anything where consistancy doesn't fluctate alot I would rather just get it delivered. |

Skirt Steak with Cipotle Aioli Sauce & Cipotle Corn Salad
 The steak was marinated in a really really tasty puree of oil, soy sauce, scallions, garlic, lime juice, red pepper, cumin, and sugar. The steak was nice quality but I think this made the dish for me. The chipotle aioli was a simple recipe from the food network website (repasted below): 1 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon minced canned chipotle chilies 1 tablespoon minced garlic |

Re: What\'s Cooking EDF? #4
BK,
You continue to impress. It's also cool to read that you are relatively new to cooking and trying hard to become more proficient. Your work already looks very good, I'm sure you'll be making some insanely complex, creative, and delicious stuff too. You've definitely inspired me to get a little more serious about my cooking. |

Re: What\'s Cooking EDF? #4
Pan Roasted Fresh snapper (dry filleted) on a roasted capsicum sauce with fresh mayonnaise and a side of spinach with roasted hazelnuts (and apple cider vinaigrette). Plating is way too busy, in hindsight i would serve the spinach and salad in a separate bowl.
  This was the first time i've filleted a fish on my own but it turned out ok. Red Wine Syrup Poached Quinces on overnight Bircher Muesli w/ roasted hazelnuts, yoghurt, honey, etc.  This was ok but a bit too sweet for breakfast. |
