Hello!

This week, I’ve been busy working on an exciting, special project that I can’t wait to share with you in the next couple of weeks. Until then, I’ve got some fun things to share and new dishes for you to cook.

  • I recently visited the Yangban Society in L.A. with The L.A. Times restaurant critic Bill Addison. The restaurant is known for the fried wings (the crust on those wings is heaven), which are indeed amazing but so was everything else, including desserts (might I suggest adding the whipped cheesecake and ice cream to your menu).

  • At Serious Eats, I’ve got two new recipes.

Orecchiette with Broccoli and Toasted Hazelnuts. The pasta is coated in a rich, savory, creamy sauce from broccoli and Parmiggiano-Reggiano.

And this recipe for Cauliflower Pakoras is delightful on a rainy day or, for that matter, any day of the week.

  • The folks at Kitchen Arts & Letters in NYC gave Veg-Table a thumb’s up for their fall list! If you want a signed copy of my book, order it through them, and you’ll support an Indie bookstore.


    Let’s jump into this week’s recipe and learn how to make Cannelés or Canelé - whichever you prefer to spell. And if you missed last week’s special on Baking 101: Leavening Agents, give it a quick read because it will help you understand how this recipe works.
