Happy 2nd Birthday Moderate Epicurean Blog! And hey, it’s a very Happy 41st Birthday for me as well – very happy. As I celebrate, I can’t help but be incredibly grateful for a pretty awesome year. Oh, plenty of ups and downs of course, of the usual variety…but for now, the gratitude abounds. In leaps…

Hellooo! Back from Napa! And oh, what a trip. Trip of a lifetime. John, Stu the Wine Genius, his wife Debbie, and I all stayed in the gorgeous Howell Mountain-top home of winemaker Larry Turley (long story, we had rented a different house, but happily ended up in theirs). Rudy and Ana stayed at the…

Capped a lovely, relaxing Sunday with caramelized, salty, roasted vegetables, this time cauliflower and asparagus. John and I stood there scarfing them right off the hot pans, burning our fingers, they’re that good. Wilted and soft with a crunchy exterior, mmmm. And easy? Pah-lease, the easiest EVAR. Do this for any vegetable: preheat the oven…

Cool, crisp salad topped with a warm poached or over-easy egg. Prrr… If you haven’t converted, you MUST, it is truly one of the best dishes on the planet. The greens tossed with a tart vinaigrette cut the richness of the yolk, a bit of minced basil adds a hint of sweetness, crumbled bacon and…

Feminine HijUnx, unfortunately. Our first remote recording of FH was a bust – too much background noise. Oh well! We sure had fun! We’ll just have to quite appropriately re-do our Motherhood After Dark-podcast on Sunday night, Mother’s Day. Yeah, we sure suffer for our art… Oh! I DID pull off the pommes frites last…
Grain-free Gluten-free "Bread"
I saw a recipe for this bread on the terrific blog Against All Grain. As I’ve noted before, I find eating even gluten-free grains inflammatory (and with a bigger carbohydrate punch than I can get away with, unless I want to gain weight and feel exhausted…). You could call this way of eating Paleo, but…
Cabbage Salad with Toasted Coriander Mayonnaise
Toasted coriander seeds are the flavor of the season for me. My obsession kicked off with Daniel Klein’s recipe for chilled carrot soup, when I prepared the coriander yogurt garnish. I’ve toasted coriander seeds many times before, but this time, the warm-fresh fragrance off the hot pan swirled straight into my brain—on a day I…
Screw-the-Snow Fish Tacos
The weather, I promised myself I would not talk about the weather. But forget it man, this is Minnesota, and we talk about the weather. So here it is: It rained ice last night, as John and I were on our way from not one but two fabulous dinners. I first dug into champagne, pommes…
Minnesota Food Bloggers Unite Part II: Corner Table Restaurant
These Minnesota Food Bloggers events must end! They’re just so damn fun that the next day is a bit of a let-down. Who’s making me dinner? Pouring me glasses of prosecco? Making me laugh maniacally? Chatting endlessly about food, cooking, ingredients, restaurants, events, new projects, and when we should next have dinner? Spoiled food blogger…
Cheese Souffle (Gluten-Free)
I’ve been slightly obsessed with food blogger/writer/photographer Kate Sommers adventures in raising chickens in the city of Minneapolis. After a couple of false starts – two hens turned out to be roosters! – she’s now got three hens noisily cranking out pretty, pretty brown, pink, and blue eggs. Probably because I haven’t been very secret…
