Celiac sufferer’s nightmare, vegetarian’s dream: Accidental Hedonist has some interesting recipes for seitan (aka wheat gluten), including some delicious-looking country fried seitan “steak.” I had no idea you could make seitan at home. I have only ever seen it premade at the health food store! There are also pics of some crazy Asian prepared seitan–in a can!
An interesting take on a beet and goat cheese salad can be found over at Food Mayhem.
Like Smitten Kitchen, I have never much liked the official NY cookie: the black and white. Perhaps, as she suggests, it is just because I have never had a homemade one. Her recipe look pretty great! (And there is some interesting info on the history of the cookie too!)
Matt Bites writes about the other Santa Fe culinary staple (besides enchiladas, duh!): green chile burgers. The roasting of hatch green chiles is a ritual in the almost religious devotion to chile encountered throughout the Southwest, and most especially in New Mecxico. If ever there were a stunning burger, Matt’s is it. His photos in general make me ache—such is their beauty.
