/3, 1/2 (?) of a cookbook? The Ottolenghi (restaurant) site shows 13 recipes, there are many more online, but why not wait a while for this one and use a book that would allow a more complete experience? Selfishly, I’m most...

, cilantro and garlic complete the flavorings. Its put together just like any rice pilaf; start on the stove top by sauteeing the rice, add the jalapenos and garlic, add the liquids and then move the whole thing to oven. We make...

of — if not the — prettiest dining rooms in town. The lovely landscaping and great art always put me in a good mood.

i really have nothing to offer this post that is completely on topic, but since I am bored at work right now, i will say that I didn’t see the recipe and the three ingredients listed sound awful together, HOWEVER..I did...

, but dismal service. Food, however, was excellent, particularly the menu tomate. We’ve also eaten at La Mirande in Avignon which had excellent food, but they lost our booking and put us by ourselves in an unattractive...

- it used to be french laundry, hence the name. You look out the window and see trees. As others have said, Per Se is in a mall. As beautiful as the room may be, it cannot compare to the overall landscape around the French...

Howdy to everyone in the Minneapolis & St. Paul area! The research tour for my forthcoming book Slow Food in the Heartland: A Cook’s Tour will bring me to the Twin Cities January 17-20. Your suggestions for what I should see,...

comfortable as a single. The service and food were quality, and I didn’t even pick up my book (aka armour) since I was so relaxed. The only negative was the fake, edible-oil-product instead of whipped cream to accompany the...
