Whenever I go to a Korean restaurant, I inevitably get hot bibimbop, which I am drawn to mostly for the crispy and delicious crust of rice that forms on the bottom of the stone pot the dish is served in. Bitten offers a different region’s (the middle east’s) tasty variation on this way of cooking rice. I think I might make it this weekend!
I had never thought of making a polenta-and-beans dish, but this one over at the Kitchn looks great.
Smitten Kitchen‘s take on mushroom bourguignon looks like a hearty and satisfying meal for a day such as today in New York—with highs in the teens!
I love Midtown Lunch‘s magnum opus on Cafe Zaiya. It is a lengthy and sweet portrait of an apparently quite popular midtown breakfast and lunch spot. The food does look great…if only I worked in midtown.
I am leery of fat-free cookies. Usually, whatever calories lost from cutting the fat are more than made up for with extra sugars. So what’s the point of losing out on all the richness imparted by fat? But when David Lebovitz says about a nonfat ginger cookie “this was one of the best things I have ever put in my mouth,” you sort of have to listen. I am a BIG ginger cookie fan, so though I am not much of a baker, I just might need to try this recipe.
