Christoph commented on the diary post Sunday Food: Chicken Pot Pie by Christoph.
I have decorated the top of many pie crusts but never quite like this. Not really sure how that would work. Could be fun to try something. Maybe puff pastry would be the way to do it instead of basic crust.

(Crossposted from my blog What’s Cooking? ) Looking back, I never knew how lucky I was to have experienced growing up on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Waking up on quiet mornings where the only sound was that of the meadow lark calling to his mate, or the buzzing of the locusts as darkness filled the evening [...] -
Christoph wrote a new diary post: Sunday Food: Cedar Plank Salmon
(Crossposted from my blog What’s Cooking? ) There is something almost magical about cooking salmon on a cedar plank. The aroma of the smoldering cedar adds a subtle flavor that works in perfect harmony with the fish. The result is an unbelievably moist tender mouthwatering filet. Thought to have originated in the Pacific Northwest, cedar plank cooking was a preferred [...] -

Christoph commented on the diary post Sunday Food: Mothers Day Flowers and Brunch by Christoph.
Simply pour about 1 1/2″ of enchilada sauce in a skillet and heat on medium until bubbling. Break eggs and gently drop into sauce. Cover with a lid, cook till they are the way you like them.(glass lids are great for this) That’s it. You can make your own sauce or use canned. Also green [...]

(Crossposted from my blog What’s Cooking? ) A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels [...] -

Christoph commented on the diary post Sunday Food: Vegetable Tian by Christoph.
You could do a variety of different vegetables or herbs to take this dish any direction, even spice it up with some chili powder. I personally have never cared for herbes de provence, so I rarely think of using it. As far as the cheese, I think almost any type would be good depending on [...]

We had some wild asparagus on the farm where I grew up, what a treat that was.

probably was not the same exact recipe in ancient times. Although they would have had eggs and oil, just not labeled as mayo. Glad you tried the aji and like it. It is a nice fresh change.

Christoph commented on the diary post Sunday Food; Roux by Ruth Calvo.
They sure can, since it is just flour and butter. I use the classic ratio of 1:1 butter to flour. Also make sure to cook the roux at least 4 – 5 minutes, which reduces the flour taste. For cajun dishes like gumbo cook the roux for a long period of time to slightly burn [...]

Christoph commented on the diary post Sunday Food; Roux by Ruth Calvo.
I probably would skip the packets for roux. Just flour and butter is all you need. A great trick is to form some balls out of the roux that you make and hold them in the fridge. Then you can just drop in one or two as needed when you making other sauces.

Christoph commented on the diary post Sunday Food: Vegetable Tian by Christoph.
I like the rustica approach and don’t feel the need to peel, but with a more formal meal I might. This one is fun because it is very easy and you can mix it up with whatever veggies you like. Eggplant could be a nice addition.

Christoph commented on the diary post Sunday Food: Parmesan Cheese Cups by EdwardTeller.
I have seen many things formed over the bottom of muffin pans such as wonton papers but had not seen this done with cheese. I have prepared cheese on a sheet pan as a chip but this is a very creative application. Thanks for the great idea.
