With cherries? Stuffed into cherries?

Infused with the essence of cherries?

Foie gras as cherries.....


(That's fried watermelon on the left, btw)

It's a foie parfait (all I remember from the recipe is xanthan gum) with cherry glaze.

Nah.... as Heston Blumenthal said, it's just good old fashioned cookery, but with a bit of science thrown in for good measure.

For example, this video shows their preparation of a Striped Mushroom Omelette.
[youtube][/youtube]
The techniques on display are eminently basic and not particularly newfangled (with the possible exception of the aerated eggs). It's just applied in a forward thinking way, both in terms of assembly and presentation.

In the Modernist Cuisine trailer video, there's a brief shot of them plating this dish a little differently; in a wide-brim shallow bowl with the striped omelette as a sort of round cover over the same base of aerated eggs and mushroom marmalade.

i missed the part of the video where they added eye of newt and chanted

[tifosi77]

That's part of the recipe for the mushroom marmalade.

Cooks: any experience with the Orgreenic green ceramic pan that's all over the infomercials?

Tonight's dinner:
Pork Tenderloin and Sake Braised Dandilion Greens with Shiro Miso-Dijon Sauce

I'm bustin' out that ghetto sous vide technique at every turn.

Cooks: any experience with the Orgreenic green ceramic pan that's all over the infomercials?

I don't have any direct experience with the product, nor does anyone I know.

However a quick Google search yielded a plethora of results that indicate the company that makes the pans - or at least handles customer fulfillment - is lacking in some basic coolness.

Credit cards being charged a week or more before the product is shipped (illegal, btw), bad customer service if merch is defective, etc.

Not sure it's worth it. Frankly, if a product was capable of being as awesome as they purport on the infomercial, it would be on the shelves at Macy's and Nordstrom selling to $600 for a five-piece kit.

Yeah, monk is one of my favorite fish. You can treat it like meat when you cook it, takes on spice really well and can handle high heat cooking. There is a Korean market in Torrance that always has whole monk in their fish dept, and you can get them to butcher it for you..... which means you can get the liver, which is a super delicious delicacy. (in Japanese it's called 'ankimo')

Paula Deen has diabetes.
Shocking.

[tifosi77]

The disturbing thing is that she has apparently had the 'betes for a while but has actively hidden the fact. Protecting the 'brand' and all.

Tony Bourdain is right; she's one of the most dangerous people in America.
