Streamside, with my cane rod......Or making food, for those I LOVE!
"I'd rather die of thirst, then drink from the cup of mediocrity"
Interests: As far back as I can remember..........I have been fascinated by food....It's smell, taste, texture and color. I have made one of my life's goals, to create/fashion/elaborate the very best of what I eat, and above all what I serve to those I feed. I live for making what people really like to eat, it gives me the greatest of satisfaction , to have someone tell me that something I have made for them, brings them "back"...Yeah baby, that's what I'm talking about.....Cheers, and maybe I can make something you love someday!!!

Flaky, feathery cinnamon rolls...With dough scraps.
Image
|Today , with a little time on my hands, I decided to use up some dough remnants, and fashion some healthier cinnamon buns... I wanted a featherier, more tender product, like Danish , but without all of that extra sugar. Xylitol, mixed into the dough, imparts the sweetness that I'm... Continue reading

Deconstruction of "Il Pastiera"....Make one for Easter.
It just occured to me that to get folks to try something, you either have to make it for them, or detail it's manufacturing , so that it is as least intimidating as possible. I have deconstructed the "Pastiera", Easter torte, and have illustrated the assembly steps, to make it... Continue reading

Chicago deep dish pizza....
Image
Yesterday was my GF's 48th, and for the occasion she indicated that savory , not sweet, was what the doctor ordered... She indicated that the thicker variety of pizza pie, was her preference. Sensing that the usual Friday nite thin crust, just wouldn't cut it, I set out to fashion... Continue reading

Spelt, rye, rye flakes and a kamut starter morphed into some rustic chunks, baked... Continue reading

Some February cheer...To banish the chills.
Image
Nothin says comfort food quite like deep dish apple pie....IMHO. I used a crust that my GF made, spelt/ww and coconut butter, that made for a very tasty piece of how do you do, following the beef stew she also fashioned..... A pair of 90% sour rye "miches", that lend... Continue reading

Christmas credit card bills, post Christmas weight loss challenges, snow up to the rooftop, and short dark days with darker, more frigid nights....Made bearable only becaused there's a warm body sleeping next to you sharing in the...

You're never to old .....To make bread...

A very old friend mesaged me just before Christmas...."Anthony, I just bought myself a used stand mixer, and I would like to make some good country style bread.....Do you have a recipe I could use?" "I've been googling all over the place, and I need help". Now, making bread is... Continue reading

Some Christmas eats...

Christmas day.....Copious amounts of food, gravies, sauces, stuffings and desserts....It just doesn't seem to end. Throw wine and liqueur into the mix, and the recovery period can't come soon enough! Here are some pics of some Christmas goodies in an English, white bread homestead... Some tourtiere, balsamic sprouts and pan... Continue reading

Vanilla/Ganache torte....Easy, really....
This torte, is really simple to make, and even easier to ice, if you can pour, you can ice it. I make these using leftover icing, and unused ganache. Any white cake mix will do, if you want to use a ready mix, that's fine. I am submitting a basic... Continue reading

What to make, when it's crappy outside.....SPINGI!
These little doughballs are heavenly , when rolled in cinnamon sugar, or dipped in a simple syrup and honey mixture.....They are very addictive, and 6 is just not enough. I have made them with both regular pastry flour, and WW pastry flour....No perceptible difference. They can even be dipped in... Continue reading

Make this for Christmas morning....Seriously.
Image
This recipe is one that was provided to me by one of my professors at the CCA. Chef Jacob Ference. Chef Jake, as we called him, was a dry-humored , witty, somewhat biased cake "Divo". He was a master cake maker, and fashioner of all things sweet, moist, buttery and... Continue reading

A repost from December 2010....Make this for Christmas!!!

This is the stretch of my work week that puts me in the office for more hours, than I am at home....Some would call this obsession, some a mania.....Perhaps they would be correct on all counts. I call it just gettin 'er done, to quote a redneck. As we are... Continue reading

I miss THIS place, come holiday time....
Image
I know that Christmas is about family, and Jesus' birth, and getting together with our loved ones....It shouldn't be about work right? I always felt that the sooner the down time arrived, come holiday time....The better. That was before I worked....Here. Perhaps it was the feel of the place, maybe... Continue reading

Some goodies....Pre-Christmas
Image
Yesterday at Lucie's, my co-worker, Emily, who had been lusting after my chocolate crackle cookies....had an epiphany: She loves chocolate, she also adores mint. The perfect coupling of cookie and cream, (mint flavored , cream cheese fillied). Lucie's also offers tasty, scratch-made meals to go, Montreal-style bagels, seasonal baked yummies,...

A good Crieffing on this day in June.

It's always nice to start at a new place, when the direction, from the powers that be, is forward thinking. That being said, the good folks at Crieff hills retreat have turned out to be just that....Not just forward thinking, but visionary. Today, after serving brekky to a few visiting... Continue reading

Working in an EFFICIENT kitchen....
The term efficient , is one that is oft repeated, yet sadly rarely adhered to, or so I have found out in recent years. It is not always the size of the space, (although this can greatly matter, at times). It isn't the quality of the equipment...I have enjoyed world... Continue reading

Why I love baguettes....
Image
There's something about a baguette: Maybe it's the crunchy, caramelized crust....Or the "grigne", the ear that curls back from the baguette, with a dark golden grin...Maybe it's just the tender, chewy interior, that marries itself from cheese to pate to hummus, and beyond..There is just something endearing about the baguette...If...
