A friend hosted a book party at our favorite downtown watering hole, albeit at an earlier hour we are generally not accustomed to drink. Twist our arms, why don’tcha?
Came home ravished and ordered a buncha wings, naked & well done.
I got the Sichuan inspiration after seeing your recent mouth watering dinner We haven’t had Sichuan food in a while. It hit the spot, and there were plenty of leftovers.
Focaccia Genovese. I really liked the Pugliese style last week . Was better the next day . Had for lunches during the week .
Tonight . Half tomatoes and potatoes with rosemary. Served with a salad and ground chuck patty . Cheers .
Celeriac is always a bit of a ?? for me. I always make the same things: soup, gratin or remoulade salad. I found this fancy looking recipe that was actually super easy. Would make a “classy” starter for a dinner. Fine ribbons of celery root quickly blanched in a broth made from the skins and butter. Topped with toasted hazelnuts. Looked pretty and was pretty delicious.
What an interesting & delicious sounding way to use celeriac! I also only ever just use it as a flavoring agent for chicken noodle soup, or in Waldorf salad.
Celeriac works also nicely in mashed potatoes (1:1) to give more flavor, as a “steak” (breaded) or as “gnocchi/nocken (grated and mixed with egg, flour, spices)
Good visit to Mattina https://www.mattinasf.com and trying out a number of their dishes. Overall good flavors with perhaps the piadina the weakest dish as the dough felt more like a pizza dough and less like piadina.
