Jacques Pepin's Flatbread Recipe

I saw Chef Pepin make this on one of his shows, and thought, that is almost like the bread I used to make when I lived on the Beach in St. Augustine Florida and I had no yeast. I called it a cheat pizza dough, and I added tons of granulated garlic. Serves 6 1 1⁄2 cups/188g regular all purpose flour 1 cup/250ml water 1⁄4 teaspoon/2ml baking powder 1⁄4 teaspoon/2ml salt 2 tablespoons/30ml olive oil 2 tablespoons/30ml water Dump everything (except the 2 tablespoons water) into a bowl and "stir it into a gooey stuff" as Jacques says. The dough will indeed be very wet, gooey, sticky. Stir in any optional ingredients. Heat a non-stick 10" / 25.4 cm skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Pour about a tablespoon of olive oil into the pan and then pour in the dough. Spread into one flat layer with a spoon or spatula. (A little oil on the spoon or spatula helps keep the dough from sticking to it.) Add remaining water around the outside of the dough where it meets the pan; the o...

Today is national Frappe Day!

Get your coffee on and enjoy yourself. If they weren’t super expensive (and filled with who-knows-what as far as the ingredients go), We would be at Starbucks getting a “frappucino” pretty much every day. To avoid that scenario, we came up with a simple, yet delicious, homemade version. The secret ingredient in this drink is organic, freeze-dried, instant coffee. It’s tasty and convenient! And it’s perfect for making blended iced coffee drinks. Sure, you can make a blended iced coffee drink with chilled brewed coffee but we don’t make ours that way, so we can’t help you out as far as a recipe goes. You need a good blender for this recipe. Not necessarily an expensive one, but one that won’t crap out on you when you attempt to blend lots of ice in it. By the way, you know what makes this iced coffee frappe even more delicious? You guessed it: ICE CREAM! Add a scoop or two of vanilla (or chocolate or coffee) ice cream for extra deliciousness. If you do so, you may want to cut back ...

Reese's Bats Are The Perfect Halloween Snack Absolutely batty!

These Reese's bats check all the boxes: delicious, adorable and super easy. Not to mention they're a total blast to make with kids! You only need four ingredients: mini Reese's, Oreos, peanut butter, and candy eyes. To start, separate the Oreo cookies from the cream. (What you do with the cream is entirely up to you.) Next, slice them in half. There may be some casualties as Oreos can be a bit crumbly, I suggest using a serrated paring knife. Next, attach them to your Reese's with a dab of peanut butter. Apply the same peanut butter method for the eyes and you've got your bats! see the video private chefs and event catering Miami + Miami Beach + Fort Lauderdale + Palm Beach info@yadachef.com | 954-367-YADA (9232) www.yadachef.com fort lauderdale catering and personal chefs

The Future of Restaurants

Restaurants are much more than places where we feed ourselves, soothe our souls, and mark life’s big moments. They are the backbones of our communities. And they are worth fighting for. We hope we can all eat in their dining rooms, together, one day soon. By Food & Wine Editors What do you miss most about restaurants right now? I miss the anticipation, the hum, the smells, the glow. I miss how restaurants restore me, whether it’s tacos at a picnic table after a five-and-a-half-hour flight to LAX or a dozen oysters at the counter of my local after work. Most of all, I miss the hospitality of restaurant people, their generosity. This spring, I witnessed that big-hearted spirit more than ever, as food industry leaders met the pandemic with acts of heroism: Chefs turned their restaurants into community kitchens ; spirits manufacturers di...

7 Top Reasons You Should be Eating Fermented Veggies

Once upon a time, before the industrial processing of our food took place, people used to ferment vegetable s, primarily to help to preserve them. It was, and still can be, a natural process. There were no artificial preservatives added then, as they are in the majority of modern processed foods today. Anyone who aspires to a holistic health lifestyle has already learned to avoid processed foods as much as possible; but fermented vegetables, such as sauerkraut and kimchi, are naturally processed foods that are not only permissible, but preferable to include in any healthy well-balanced diet, especially if you make them yourself! Fermented foods contain incredible health benefits. More than just a natural way of preserving food In the old days, the process of fermenting vegetables not only helped to preserve the food for longer, but it also added a new taste dimension. In subsequent years, with the advent of modern medical science, we’ve also been able to establish that ferm...

President's Day - A Little History

Presidents’ Day , officially Washington’s Birthday , in the United States , holiday (third Monday in February) popularly recognized as honouring George Washington and Abraham Lincoln . The day is sometimes understood as a celebration of the birthdays and lives of all U.S. presidents. The origin of Presidents’ Day lies in the 1880s, when the birthday of Washington—commander of the Continental Army during the American Revolution and the first president of the United States —was first celebrated as a federal holiday. In 1968 Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill, which moved a number of federal holidays to Mondays. The change was designed to schedule certain holidays so that workers had a number of long weekends throughout the year, but it has been opposed by those who believe that those holidays should be celebrated on the dates they actually commemorate . During debate on the bill, it was proposed that...

Planning a Successful Cocktail Party Part II

Setting the Mood Lighting Keep the lighting low, not so low you cannot see, unless you are looking for that "nightclub" feel. Everyone wants to be able to see what they are eating and drinking. Cleaning Before and After Relax, this is a fun thing! Before : Unless you are throwing a black tie affair, then hire the cleaners. Otherwise tidy up and make sure you cannot write your name in the dust. It is only going to get dirty anyway. My one exception is the place everyone snoops...the bathroom. Make sure it is spotless. Put out disposable guest towels (they look like high end napkins). After: Enlist the help of a dear friend to pick the big stuff up and then leave the rest until the next day. Putting it all together Three weeks before : Send out the invitations Start planning the menu, theme and music Two weeks before : If you have the freezer space make and freeze your hors d'oeuvres Inventory y...

Citrus Pear Jam - Freezer Jam Recipe

Late-season pears get a boost from a touch of orange and cardamom in this tasty recipe, which goes just as wel l spread on toast as it does over roast pork tenderloin. Because freezer jams are not sterilized, you cannot keep them at room temperature. Makes enough to fill five 8-ounce/227g jars 2 medium-sized sweet navel oranges 3 cups/675ml/675g ripe Bartlett pears, peeled, seeded and chopped finely 1 tablespoon/15ml lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon/1ml ground cardamom 1 1/2 cups/195g sugar, ideally superfine Pectin of your choice (since it varies by brand, consult package for correct amount) Using a sharp knife, completely remove the peel of the orange. One at a time, remove each slice of orange, using the knife to cut between the orange flesh and the white pithy membrane that separates each slice. When you're done, you should have perfectly formed orange slices without any seeds or membranes. If any seeds remain, remove them. Cut each slice into 3 or 4 chunks...
