Items from various places [old but interesting]:
Betty Rocker is an awesome, totally veteran blog all about food. This great writer has been doing the food blog thing maybe longer than there even has been a food-blog thing. She rocks, and I love her angle on things. Fresh, easy, and a little bit punk rock. Kind of like the Jamie Oliver of food blogging.
Pan Sauces, is a post she wrote back in May of 07, that just totally nails how we can be very good cooks in our kitchens with a few very simple principles, like turning the stuff left in your sautee pan ( “fond”, my sister calls it ) into the best, most natural and tasty-licious sauce.
Here she does it for “a hanger steak with the most basic of all pan sauces — just a little butter, shallot, and red wine.” The only thing we could add is our confidence in the kitchen!
And great photography too!
If you have time, take a look at Dan Hershman’s other photos too. They’re nice.
Also, if you have even more time, hike up to Anchorage and let me know how the steaks are at Club Paris.
