I know that "souffle" should actually be "soufflé", but I can't be bothered to type out "é" every single time I write souffle, so it will be souffle all the way down. Feel free to pronounce it "sooh-ffull" instead of "sew-flay" if you like. Souffle ...

I was going to say "nobody" period, but Google search turns up 27 results for "I hate eggs benedict", which means there are at least 27 people out there who suck and don't count. The rest of the population of the world is then split into two categories: people who love eggs bened...

You are flying in the air, free as can be, when you spot a delicious morsel of bread sitting on a table inside a building, just waiting for you to snatch it up. You veer to the left and begin your smooth descent towards that bread. And just when it is two feet away, WHAM! You smash into an invisible wall and die a horrible dea...

Is there any other type of fish cake? Well there are, just not edible ones. I just needed to pad out the title with an attractive adjective so people will read this blog. Did I getcha? Good. Wait! Don't run away! What I'm technically going to show you is "chipotle fish cakes with mango pico de gallo". It actually tastes pret...

That's right, but not illegal. The thing about food is that there isn't really such thing as piracy. In fact, people (even chefs of famous restaurants) actually share many of their recipes with the world, and you can freely recreate the exact dish provided the resources and skill. Of course, not all recipes are shared, especially b...

What an interesting dish, right? Whenever some TV cook pulls an exotic dish out of his or her ass, it usually comes off the tail of a trip to some foreign land where they acquired the taste for such dish, or maybe a recipe was handed down to them by a grandma of a friend who lived in said land for 87 years. Not ...

If you have a plant but neglect to water it for a few months, it'll most likely be dead. All the water in the world will not bring it back. Luckily, blogs are a far hardier breed of creatures. I've never meant to let it...

I was too polite to tell him to go fuck himself, but it was the reply that sho...

I hate fantasy and I love science fiction. Fantasy for me represents a sort of romanticizing of the past, glossing over all the terrible things such as poverty, disease, and lack of sanitation in favor of "oh look, how cool would it be if..." Fantasy brings to life all of the supersti...

They all look somewhat sloppy and lopsided... except for Thomas Keller's. His is beautiful, neat, and clean, like he chiseled it out of a fucking rainbow. When I started making this dish, I aimed to create something that is also beautiful, neat, and clean. But it turned o...

Most people will agree that chicken periods are considerably more palatable than human periods. Furthermore, they are cheaper. Requests for human egg donors in the classified section of newspapers often offer thousands of dollars for a single egg. This blog entry isn't as much about egg dishes as it...

Don't mind if I do. June is apparently a dessert month or something, since I'm doing a lot of these, and I don't even have a pregnant wife or anything like that. At any rate, this time it is a dessert of my own concoction. The premise is simple: a sweet version of the quesadilla. I ran th...

Fortunately (or unfortunately) for you, I have a tremendous sweet tooth, so after having made brioche my mind immediately went to all of the dessert applications that such a rich bread could have. This blog will demonstrate two dessert...

What is so special about this bread that it makes eunuchs of all these bakers? Well, most people who have tried to make this bread talked abou...

THE French onion soup, because you have to assume that there's more than one type of onion soup in French cuisine (and there is). But it's just called French onion soup in the United States. Even before I had any idea what the soup might look or taste like, it ha...

Likewise, you wouldn't learn French cuisine without making coq au vin at least once. Coq au vin translates to "rooster with wine" in English (or cock with wine, but in this day and age that phrase is easily misconstrued). It's basically a chicken stew made ...

I bet some of you readers thought the TGC series went the way of your childhood pet cat/dog Sniffles or whatever name it had, six feet under to a "better place" (by which your parents meant a place without you) never to come back. But it's back, alive and kicking, thanks to some hiccups in a much...

Were you surprised by the unintelligible gibberish in the title? It's written in a language called French (the language of silly surrender monkeys from some far off land for you American readers), and it says something like "codfish cooked in the Provence style". In Mark Twain's book "...

A miserable little pile of secrets. Did you know that as famous as strawberry shortcake is, most people actually don't know what a shortcake is? I certainly had no fucking clue until recently. Many "shortcake" recipes call for using yellow cake, pound cake, or angel food cake. But none of these are ac...

They took the bait: eating, shitting, and reproducing in a cesspool orgy of activity. Suddenly they were swept up in a massive goop of flour and water, only to be tossed into a fiery oven where every single yeast cell...
