Today's
Seattle Times Food & Wine section is almost poetic in its choice of themes. Bulgogi, Barbapapa, kumquats,
cookbooks, Yaksik, Japchae... it could be a foodie rap.
- Every chef should add some of these traditional Korean-American dishes to
their repertoire. Especially recommended: Bulgogi (Korean barbecue, yum), Yaksik (sweet rice with nuts and
jujubes), Japchae (clear noodles
stir-fried with vegetables) and Tteokguk (sliced rice pasta soup).
- Try the Barbapapa
from Seattle's Sambar, "almost like two drinks for
one price." It's a martini-like concoction of Hangar One Kaffir Lime vodka, Cointreau, lime juice and... rhubarb
sorbet. Phew. I was just wondering what to do with that rhubarb sorbet...
- New cookbooks for the
year include Susanna Foo Fresh Inspiration, Nobu Now, Tapas: A Taste of Spain in America, Sunday Suppers at
Lucques, Vegetable Love by Barbara Kafka, and Moosewood Restaurant Simple Suppers.
- Diet books reviewed,
including The Sonoma Diet, The Supermarket Diet, and The Flavor Point Diet: The Delicious,
Break-through Plan to Turn Off Your Hunger and Lose the Weight for Good.
- Kumquats are not
mini-oranges. They're not even members of the citrus genus. And you can eat them whole. "It is the only fruit
with a rind that is deliciously sweet and pulp that is puckery-sour!"
