Rob Alexander and H&F Bread Co.

April 26, 2012

“Where should I eat while I’m visiting Atlanta?” It’s a question I hear all the time. It may seem cliché to those who favor the latest dining fad or the undiscovered gem, but when friends or strangers ask for an Atlanta recommendation, I point them in the direction of Holeman & Finch Public House. It […]

Now Open – Świt Bakery and Cafe

April 4, 2012

While picking up some more coffee and having a great teeth-chattering afternoon espresso at Octane Westside, I noticed that just across the street, Świt Bakery and Cafe in Brickworks had opened. Once I suppressed the naseau from paying $34 for a pound of coffee, I walked across the street and checked it out. It’s the […]

Cooking Momofuku (again)

October 4, 2011

This past weekend was the third session of what I’ll call the “educational and aspirational” meals I’ve cooked with my friend Brad. Meals where we’ve invested ourselves (and our cash) in planning a meal from a particular cookbook which require an inordinate amount of research and planning. The first time we tackled The French Laundry. […]

Pez Vela – Paella

September 1, 2011

While in Barcelona we hit up Pez Vela, a relatively new paella restaurant at the base of the W Hotel, right on the beach. Ever since, I can’t stop thinking about paella. Has anyone ever had one that was good in Atlanta? Doing it at home is probably the best option. I have a paella […]

Momofuku English Muffins

October 21, 2010

Not counting pizza dough, I’ve made bread three times. That includes these Momofuku english muffins. You can google the recipe. They could be considered a pain in the ass to make, but I found it therapeutic on a weekend afternoon, the quiet mixing and comforting repetition. The toughest part may have been dipping each side into the corn meal, […]

The French Laundry

July 29, 2010

Last weekend I did something I’ve been itching to try; I cooked a challenging meal with another person. I’ve slightly assisted people in the kitchen before, or vice versa, but I wanted to take on an ambitious undertaking from recipe creation to plating with someone else and see how successful we could be. When Biskuit was willing […]

Peachtree Road Farmer’s Market

June 7, 2010

Farmer’s market season is (finally) in full effect, and I’m back this year at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market. I’m ashamed to say I’ve never even been to the Morningside market, as PRFM is so close to my house. But it’s a very good market and it seems to be getting better too – more […]

Cooking from Blaughs: Sloppy Bao (Banh Mi)

February 3, 2010

I saw this on The Food in My Beard the other day, and knew we were meant to be together. I’ve made it three times now. For the quick pickle I use 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 1tsp salt, 2Tbsp sugar. It’s very easy and only takes a few minutes, especially if you make the curry […]
