I am asucker for alchemy cuisine, anything that rises or changes color or shape and turns into something else, so the idea ofpurple wine-soaked spaghetti thrilled me. This recipe is basically a version of my favorite broccoli and ziti standby,only with the addition of red wine. I had assumed before reading the recipe that the noodles would be boiled in thewine but it was actually a process that involved parboiling both the pasta and the broccoli. </p>
<p>The wine is addedto the partially-cooked pasta. The fun part is watching it slowly change color as you boil it. The recipe calls for ared zinfandel, and you could probably use any red, but I think a heavier wine like a zinfandel or a cabernet sauvignonadds a nice purple hue. I was curious to see if it would taste wine-heavy. It definitely had a wine taste although itwasn't overpowering. </p>
<p>Overall I'm not sure if it added enough bang for my buck to cook pasta this way again, butit was fun for novelty's sake. One caveat to those who are making this recipe is to have extra wine on hand if you wantto recreate the deep purple <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/232801">shown in the<em>Gourmet</em> </a>article. It's definitely festive for the holidays.</p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/232801>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/21/cooking-with-red-wine-red-wine-spaghetti-with-broccoli/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/forward/572787/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/21/cooking-with-red-wine-red-wine-spaghetti-with-broccoli/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>boiling</category><category>broccoli</category><category>dinner</category><category>gourmet</category><category>red wine</category><category>spaghetti</category><category>spirited cooking</category><category>SpiritedCooking</category><category>vegetables</category><category>wine</category><dc:creator>Deidre Woollard</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 21 Dec 2005 21:06:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Cooking with Liqueurs: Coconut Macaroons</title><link>http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/21/cooking-with-liqueurs-coconut-macaroons/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/21/cooking-with-liqueurs-coconut-macaroons/</guid><comments>http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/21/cooking-with-liqueurs-coconut-macaroons/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/spirited-cooking-day/" rel="tag">Spirited Cooking Day</a>, <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/ingredients/" rel="tag">Ingredients</a>, <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/method/" rel="tag">Methods</a></p><a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/11607"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0"src="http://www.slashfood.com/media/2005/12/coconut.jpg" alt="coconut" /></a>
<p>I make chocolate-dipped coconutmacaroons each year for the holidays but in honor of today's event I decided to perform a few boozy experiments. I am afirm believer that anything can be made better with a little booze. I think every cook who has experimented with cookingwith liquor probably has a few bottles of half-finished liqueurs around the house. My recipe uses the <ahref="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/11607">same proportions as this one </a>only I use almondinstead of vanilla extract. In order to get the maximum flavor for my experiments, I upped the flour a bit so that Icould include more liqueur. The results were mixed. </p><p><a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/21/cooking-with-liqueurs-coconut-macaroons/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Cooking with Liqueurs: Coconut Macaroons</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/11607>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/21/cooking-with-liqueurs-coconut-macaroons/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/forward/572888/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/21/cooking-with-liqueurs-coconut-macaroons/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>baking</category><category>chocolate</category><category>coconut macaroons</category><category>dessert</category><category>holiday cooking</category><category>HolidayCooking</category><category>liqueurs</category><category>recipes</category><dc:creator>Deidre Woollard</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 21 Dec 2005 19:34:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Party Hearty: The LA Times Food section in 60 seconds</title><link>http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/15/party-hearty-the-la-times-food-section-in-60-second/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/15/party-hearty-the-la-times-food-section-in-60-second/</guid><comments>http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/15/party-hearty-the-la-times-food-section-in-60-second/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/newspapers/" rel="tag">Newspapers</a>, <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/ingredients/" rel="tag">Ingredients</a>, <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/drink-recipes/" rel="tag">Drink Recipes</a>, <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/method/" rel="tag">Methods</a></p><p><a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/food/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" src="http://www.slashfood.com/images/2005/12/mixedgreentart.jpg" alt="mixedgreentart"/></a>o. It's the season for holiday parties. <a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-calcook14dec14,0,3985132.story?page=1&amp;coll=la-home-food">Russ Parsons</a> shows us how to throw an elegant holiday party without going completely insane. The menu includes a tart of mixed greens, Dungeness crab salad with avocado and bitter greens, carrots with smoky piment&oacute;n-orange glaze, and roast tenderloin of beef with horseradish cr&egrave;me fra&icirc;che. The menu serves twelve and is a buffet so you can spend maximum time with your guests. <br/>o. It's not a party without dessert. <a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-dessertbar14dec14,1,4703886.story?page=1&amp;coll=la-headlines-food">Susan LaTempa</a> breaks out recipes for espresso angel food cake with a pourable ganache, the rich and intricate chocolate Rigo squares, and a lime curd tart. <br/>o. And of course there has to be booze. <a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-holidaybar14dec14,0,5398293.story?page=2&amp;coll=la-home-food">Corie Brown</a> takes on what to serve (wines and a house drink) and what to serve it in. Reidel's stemless wineglasses have made old-fashioned glasses suitable for wine serving. The recipe for a Golden Pomme (equal parts apple juice and bourbon, flavored with Amaretto di Saronno
and fresh lemon juice) sounds a bit deadly and hangover-inducing. <br/></p>

The coffee is available in three flavors:&nbsp; Cinnamon Vanilla Latte, Caramel Nut Latte and Espresso &amp; Cream. The new drink will be on sale at convenience stores, grocery stores and restaurants throughout the South and may expand into other markets eventually. So the canned coffee business hasn't really taken off in this country (except of course for Starbuck's) so it will be intriguing to see if people are interested in the Cinnabon brand.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://charlotte.bizjournals.com/charlotte/stories/2005/12/05/daily4.html>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/06/cinnabon-coffee-drinks-hit-southern-markets/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/forward/48207/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/06/cinnabon-coffee-drinks-hit-southern-markets/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>breakfast</category><category>coffee</category><dc:creator>Deidre Woollard</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 06 Dec 2005 11:04:30 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Cheesy: The LA Times Food Section in 60 Seconds</title><link>http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/01/cheesy-the-la-times-food-section-in-60-seconds/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/01/cheesy-the-la-times-food-section-in-60-seconds/</guid><comments>http://www.slashfood.com/2005/12/01/cheesy-the-la-times-food-section-in-60-seconds/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/newspapers/" rel="tag">Newspapers</a>, <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/ingredients/" rel="tag">Ingredients</a>, <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/drink-recipes/" rel="tag">Drink Recipes</a>, <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/method/" rel="tag">Methods</a></p><a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/food/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" alt="bluecheese" src="http://www.slashfood.com/images/2005/12/bluecheese.jpg"/></a>o. <a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-bluecheese30nov30,1,1300624.story?coll=la-headlines-food">Regina Schrambling</a>'s got the blues, blue cheese that is.

The leftovers are the perfect excuse to try something new because, after all, if it totally tanks, you aren't really wasting brand new ingredients. My other criteria is that leftovers should be fun but not too ambitious. I'm a lazy cook, especially after Thanksgiving, so nothing too time-intensive or messy would do. <br/><br/>I originally planned to make sweet potato ravioli but since a Thanksgiving elf ate a lot of the sweet potatoes leftover (I think it was the dash of Cointreau that made them so irresistible) I ended up combining mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes to make gnocchi.<br/><p><a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/sweet-potato-gnocchi-with-mushroom-sauce/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sweet potato gnocchi with mushroom sauce</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/sweet-potato-gnocchi-with-mushroom-sauce/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/forward/45735/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/sweet-potato-gnocchi-with-mushroom-sauce/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>boiling</category><category>dinner</category><category>leftovers</category><category>vegetables</category><dc:creator>Deidre Woollard</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 28 Nov 2005 19:13:55 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Slashfood 8 (Ate): Things to do with leftover cranberry sauce</title><link>http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/slashfood-8-ate-things-to-do-with-leftover-cranberry-sauce/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/slashfood-8-ate-things-to-do-with-leftover-cranberry-sauce/</guid><comments>http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/slashfood-8-ate-things-to-do-with-leftover-cranberry-sauce/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/slashfood-ate/" rel="tag">Slashfood Ate</a>, <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/lovely-leftovers-day/" rel="tag">Leftovers</a>, <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/ingredients/" rel="tag">Ingredients</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" alt="cranberrysauce" src="http://www.slashfood.com/images/2005/11/cranberrysauce.jpg"/>You have to have it at the Thanksgiving table but what do you do with it afterwards? In my house there always seems to be leftover cranberry sauce especially since most of the time we have both the whole berry homemade and the canned jelly stuff. So here are eight ways to enjoy your leftover cranberries. And feel free to let me know what you do with your leftover cranberries.<br/><br/>1. Cranberry mustard or mayonnaise--You may not want to toss all the cranberry sauce into your bottle of mustard or mayonnaise but mixing in a little cranberry is a great way to pep up chicken, ham, and yes, turkey sandwiches. It can also be mashed into butter or cream cheese as a breakfast spread.<br/>2. Throw it into a muffin or quick bread recipe. Not so good for the jelly stuff but you can use the whole berry sauce as an addition to blueberry or corn muffins. <br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/slashfood-8-ate-things-to-do-with-leftover-cranberry-sauce/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Slashfood 8 (Ate): Things to do with leftover cranberry sauce</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/slashfood-8-ate-things-to-do-with-leftover-cranberry-sauce/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/forward/45781/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/slashfood-8-ate-things-to-do-with-leftover-cranberry-sauce/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>fruit</category><category>leftovers</category><category>slashfood ate</category><dc:creator>Deidre Woollard</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 28 Nov 2005 17:09:13 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Welcome To Lovely Leftovers Day</title><link>http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/welcome-to-lovely-leftovers-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/welcome-to-lovely-leftovers-day/</guid><comments>http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/welcome-to-lovely-leftovers-day/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" src="http://www.slashfood.com/images/2005/11/lovelyleftovers3.gif" alt="lovelyleftovers"/>You slaved away over a hot stove, accepted the kudos and packed the fridge full of tasty remains.

The stats are grim: every day 200,000 Americans get sick from food-related illnesses, and since Thanksgiving is one of our major food holidays, the chances for food illness are high. The guidelines are basically the common sense stuff: don't defrost the turkey at room temperature, wash everything that gets the raw turkey juice on it and the big one that I am guilty of flouting each year: don't cook the stuffing inside the bird. It's also important to cook the turkey to an internal temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit to kill all of the bacteria. </p>
<p>This <a href="http://www.wtsp.com/thismorning/thismorning_article.aspx?storyid=21534">article from WTSP</a> says that according to the <a href="http://www.homefoodsafety.org/">ADA/ConAgra Foods survey</a>, nearly three out of four Americans don't know the proper temperature to which a whole turkey should be cooked and more than half don't use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness. Instead we tend to rely on meat looking "done," taste tests, and wiggling the legs to see if it is cooked (I am also guilty as charged on that leg-wiggling thing).&nbsp; Reading articles like this before Thanksgiving always makes me feel a bit guilty, as if I'm some vaguely homicidal manic wielding a Wusthof Trident and an improperly sterilized cutting board. I washed my hands, really, I swear. <br/></p>

How about a nice hot oil bath for the turkey. This technique is total stunt cooking and fraught with potential peril but it does get the turkey done in record time. Depending on the size, your turkey can be done in under an hour and lots of people rave about the tenderness of the deep-fried bird.<br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/22/Slashfood-ate-8-non-traditional-turkeys/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Slashfood Ate (8): Non-Traditional Turkeys</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/22/Slashfood-ate-8-non-traditional-turkeys/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/forward/43849/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/22/Slashfood-ate-8-non-traditional-turkeys/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>dinner</category><category>frying</category><category>grill</category><category>poultry</category><category>roasting</category><category>slashfood ate</category><dc:creator>Deidre Woollard</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 22 Nov 2005 13:55:16 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Brazilian children get free coffee for breakfast</title><link>http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/22/brazilian-children-get-free-coffee-for-breakfast/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/22/brazilian-children-get-free-coffee-for-breakfast/</guid><comments>http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/22/brazilian-children-get-free-coffee-for-breakfast/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/business/" rel="tag">Business</a>, <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/category/drink-recipes/" rel="tag">Drink Recipes</a></p><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051121/od_nm/brazil_coffee_dc;_ylt=AiXmOM8hVgBCySX28JY_AVztiBIF;_ylu=X3oDMTA5aHJvMDdwBHNlYwN5bmNhdA--"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" alt="coffeecup" src="http://www.slashfood.com/images/2005/11/coffee3.jpg"/></a>There will be no falling asleep in classrooms in Brazil. <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051121/od_nm/brazil_coffee_dc;_ylt=AiXmOM8hVgBCySX28JY_AVztiBIF;_ylu=X3oDMTA5aHJvMDdwBHNlYwN5bmNhdA--">Reuters</a> reports that Brazil's coffee industry will make sure that one million schoolchildren get a free breakfast complete with a cup of coffee. Brazil's Coffee Industry Association (Abic) is trying to get 50 roasters to help with an "Adopt-a-School" program. Each coffee roaster would provide breakfast for at least 500 children&nbsp; at a cost of around $15,000. In Brazil, children traditionally drink coffee when they are young. Should we get Starbucks in on this action in the States or is coffee and schoolkids a bad combo?<br/><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051121/od_nm/brazil_coffee_dc;_ylt=AiXmOM8hVgBCySX28JY_AVztiBIF;_ylu=X3oDMTA5aHJvMDdwBHNlYwN5bmNhdA-->Read</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/22/brazilian-children-get-free-coffee-for-breakfast/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/forward/44262/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/22/brazilian-children-get-free-coffee-for-breakfast/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>breakfast</category><category>coffee</category><category>south america</category><dc:creator>Deidre Woollard</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 22 Nov 2005 08:01:54 EST</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
