2010-09-02 Hurricane Earl cooking secrets: what to eat if youre without power

The challenge, Dr. Magnus says, is that "under post-disaster conditions, everybody is at maximum anxiety levels. If there isnt physical loss, there often is emotional loss. What we tend to do when we have emotional loss is find comfort in food. And we dont usually find it in vegetables. "

Among the preparation tips: Store drinking water in plastic jugs (1 gallon a day per person), then store them in the freezer so they can help keep the freezer section chilled if the power fails. Any water for cooking is in addition to this drinking-water supply.

2010-08-28 Whats Cooking in Kitchen Design

Packaged foods meant children could help themselves. By the 1970s men were doing more cooking. The kitchen island became less a work station than a coffee counter to which anyone could pull up a stool. The kitchen cabinets got tricked out with moldings and white paint to match the furniture. The pass-through, one of few modernist domestic innovations to be adopted at a large scale, got bigger and bigger until the whole wall between kitchen and living room disappeared. With dishwashers, insulated stoves and powerful vents, there was no need for anyone to take the heat or look at a pile of dirty pots. The opening of the kitchen is not just for the suburbs, either; even small-scale New York apartment renovations typically remove the traditional wall. No one wants to be in the back of the house.

2010-08-24 Starre Vartan: Yummy Inspiration. Two New Whole Foods Cookbooks to Get You Cooking.

But truth be told, Im not the worlds most accomplished cook, though I can put together a beautifully-sourced, complementary tableaux of appetizers. But when it comes to cooking a "real" meal, my only saving grace is those great ingredients and some talent with baking pies and cookies (so at least I end on a good note. ). The last few years, however, Ive made a slow and determined march forward in teaching myself to cook, and recently have been enjoying the books below. While Ive been vegetarian for 17 years, both these books are great for veg and non-veg alike (I use them regularly without problem, but there are plenty of meaty dishes in each too). What unites the two tomes is that they focus on local, healthy, seasonal, whole foods cooking, which I am naturally drawn to as its what I was raised on.

2010-08-16 Pizza perfection: Learning the art of wood-fired cooking.

It takes about 90 minutes to fire up a forno. The goal is to get a good bank of red-hot coals with a small flame, which are then pushed to one side. Its a simple, but effective cooking system: heat radiates off the terracotta walls and dome, conductive heat rises from the brick floor and the flame has a broiler effect. As heated air and flame licks up the side and over the dome, it acts as a low-tech convection oven that cooks food in 30 per cent less time, but locks in moisture and flavour. Theres no smoky taste.

2010-08-15 New book makes Chinese cooking less hard wok - Chennai - City - The Times of India

R Mukundan of Steward International, one of the largest suppliers of Chinese condiments in the city, says that when he started his store it was mostly five-star Chinese restaurants that ordered from him. "But a little over two years ago, that changed. I now get orders from five-star restaurants and even roadside food stalls that cook Chinese. Even I have not heard of some of the condiments they want and have to do my own research to procure them. Earlier, it was the usual bottles of soy sauce and oyster sauce, now its the black and yellow bean sauces, the shitake mushrooms in vinegar, the raspberry cooking wine. the list goes on. Every week, I hear something newer and more unusual," adds Mukundan.
