Recipes and food adventures with Adam Roberts

  • Kottke Goes To Daniel

    |

    I definitely relate to the Sore Thumb status of young people in a fancy restaurant (see my Charlie Trotter review). Still, Kottke does an excellent job of whetting my palate for Daniel. Anyone want to sponsor me?

  • Best Of Atlanta 2004

    |

    Yay! Thanks readers of Creative Loafing for voting me Best Local Blogger! I love living in Atlanta and plan to live up to my title![Psst…nobody mention the whole I don’t live in Atlanta anymore I live in New York now thing, ok? That’s our little secret.]

  • Gourmet Survivor 2004: And Then There Were Five—“Missionary Veal.”

    |

    Like angry bowling pins that refuse to topple they remain: Dallas, Harry, Andrea, Michelle and Nick. Who will be the next to fall? On to our next challenge…I like to call this challenge: “Missionary Veal.” (Get it? Like missionary zeal?) Anyway, here’s what you gotta do. Introduce us to someone you know who hates a…

  • Gourmet Survivor 2004: The Fourth Vote-Off

    |

    Aww this one makes me sad. I’ll miss our friendly neighbor in the north… Farewell, Wendy! You’re my favorite Canook. (Next to Martin Short, that is.)Wendy –> Michelle (“If she goes, she’ll be missed…”)Dallas –> Michelle (“Roses are red/ violets are blue/ yams are veggies/ but tomatoes are fruit. You’ve been a tough competitor.”)Michelle –>…

  • Double Immunity and Mass Controversy

    |

    Political intrigue and international espionage taint this round of Gourmet Survivor. For the specifics, read the comments to the last post. After much reflection I have decided to have the operation. You will now refer to me as Cindy.Harry and Dallas have immunity this round. I feel this is fair because Clotilde’s logic for choosing…

  • Gourmet Survivor 2004: Fourth Challenge Fulfilled, “Vegetables for Dessert.”

    |

    This round, guest judge Clotilde (of Chocolate & Zucchini fame) compelled our remaining six contestants to use vegetables in a dessert. The results are simultaneously thrilling, terrifying and occassionally disgusting. Clotilde will be judging immunity this round but perhaps your comments will influence her. Since 5/6 of the contestants created webpages for their entries, I’ll…

  • The Hurricane Dining Sessions: BLT Steak

    |

    Seems that God (or whomever it is that controls the weather) (Al Roker?) must be a fan of this website. As my parents are propelled North to escape the mighty winds of a series of successive hurricanes, I get to eat out a lot and you get to read about it. Score!Last night was a…

  • Vanilla Bean Loaves (via Amanda Hesser)

    , ,

    |

    When I read “Cooking For Mr. Latte” there were many recipes that I carved into my brain with the label: “To be cooked one day.” One such carving was a recipe for “Vanilla Bean Loaves” adapted from Hi-Rise Bread Company in Cambridge, Massachusetts.Everything about the recipe seemed wonderful, except the potential expense. 4 vanilla beans…

  • Panini at Murray’s Cheese Shop

    |

    Murray’s Cheese Shop is awesome. There was a huge article about it in the Food Issue of The New Yorker a few weeks ago and I think it’s safe to say that Murray’s is one of our nation’s greatest purveyors of cheese.Of course, it’s rare to be walking through Greenwich Village on a hot day…

  • I hate this article.

    |

    I hate this article that just came out in the LA Tmes about food blogs. Granted, I probably hate it because it doesn’t mention me, but that aside I hate what it says about food blogs and how limited they are. First of all, though I should put my anger on pause and congratulate my…
