I’d strafed Winston-Salem while heading eastward from the mountains a few days ago, just hitting the town’s southern fringes. Now, heading west toward Tennessee, I’ve stayed downtown to plumb what I’d...

Update. I baked a whole-wheat version of the loaf, using 100% extraction whole wheat flour—Prairie Gold wheat milled on the finest setting of my Magic Mill. As Lahey’s assistant had told me that for whole wheat you...

I’ve been meaning to try Han River, one of the Korean places in J. Gold's massive LA Weekly Koreatown roundup from a couple years ago, and finally got around to it today, but it appears to be closed. A restaurant with a...

-goosey glop. I baked it in a loaf pan, covered with aluminum foil for the 1st half-hour, uncovered for the next half-hour. A friend alerted me to Martha Stewart’s TV program on Thursday, 18Jan07 which had a demonstration of...

a year. Does anyplace in NYC sell one of those Elvis "fools gold" sammies? I’m pretty sure they were designated as the single worst (most unhealthy) food you could possibly eat and responsible for most of his later weight...

I may be on a fool's errand, but I am determined to replicate a local bakery’s honey whole wheat sandwich loaf. Their ingredients are simple. Maybe too simple. Organic whole wheat flour, honey, salt, water, yeast. No eggs....

Tried the NYTimes amazing bread recipe first time last week. Never baked bread before and this is fool proof. Trying a whole wheat version this week-end and wonder if anyone has ever added a bit of sugar to this particular...

Jonathon Gold claims they have THE best burger in L.A. So that’s what we went to try. We started with the Spinach/artichoke dip that he recommends. The appetizer was good, but I prefer the one from Lobster that comes loaded...

Try Williams-Sonoma. I have use their demi and their turkey gravy at home. Everyone will be fooled thinking it’s yours.

/4 teaspoon of yeast, I use 1 full packet of Fleischmanns yeast and let the dough rise for only 3 to 4 hours. It will look very wet and bubbly. Quarter the dough and bake one section in a small clear pyrex loaf pan with no cover....

, fools-gold splendor of these places. I miss it. Does anyone know of a good replacement? Already know about Russian Samovar. Any boro will do. Thanks!

did you cut it before it had completely cooled? I made for the first time this weekend and was totally thrilled with the result, I made on Saturday but didn’t even cut into the loaf until Sunday morning. I honestly did not...

expensive and the food is not fast but it’s exquisite and I think you’ll feel like you’ve given yourself a treat. They’re also open for regular breakfast. Another old reliable is Gold and Silver Inn on...

I would guess, like you say (Gold Medal or Pillsbury) will give you a "good loaf" but I think King Arthur is still the way to go. I am not sure if the gluten content is the same but I would stay with what works and cut the $$$ on...

along the same lines as Jonathan’s suggestion, how about a simple dripped chocolate ganache glaze over the whole cake, very easy and makes everything a touch more elegant looking. Maybe some candied violet petals to...
