Cane Syrup and Hungarian-Jewish food: NY Times Dining in 60 seconds

Half of the sugar grown in the US comes from Louisiana, so it only makes sense that cooks down there know how to make good use of cane syrup and molasses in addition to regular sugar. The sugar alternatives are especially popular around the holidays, when there are so many sweet treats to be had, including Louisiana Gingerbread (Stage Planks or Mule Bellies) , Cane Syrup Popcorn Balls , and Cane Syrup Cake (Gâteau de Sirop) . (Incidentally, I didn't know that cane syrup over thickly buttered white bread is called a diaper sandwich. But the name would probably stop me from trying it.)

One of the world's largest groups of Hasidic Jews originated Hungary, so it isn't surprising to learn that there is a lot of traditional Hungarian-Jewish food that is popular around the holidays. Dishes like Cheese Danish Pastries (Delkelekh), Hungarian Stuffed-Under-the-Skin Chicken and Hungarian Eggs with Tomatoes, Peppers and Onions (Letcho) are especially popular and making them means not only getting good food, but spending time with family.

The "truffle truck" is the name that chefs have affectionately given to John Magazino's truck, which he uses to deliver truffles, caviar and other ultra-high end foods to the best restaurants in New York.

Au Pied de Cochon - The Album is a cookbook from Marting Picard and the staff at Au Pied de Cochon, full of crazy illustrations and some very high-quality recipes for those who take their pork seriously.

High-end magazines targeted at the customers of high end restaurants claim to be about "lifestyle," but they're really just full of ads.

Frank Bruni dines at Cafe Cluny and gives it 1 star.

Mark Bittman, the minimalist, offers a very quick primer on sugar.

Eating cool in the summer, NY Times Dining in 60 seconds

Meats are great dishes to serve cold, especially at a picnic, on a hot day, but because they seem to loose some of their character during overnight storage, make sure to up the flavor to begin with. Marinades and rubs are great choices and result in less mess than sauces do. Serve them with easy summer salads.

Don't bring your Blackberry to a dinner party. Sitting at the table and using it is simply rude, even if the food is awful.

Up and coming chef Andrew Weissman is setting a new standard for french food (pictured) - from San Antonio, Texas.

Some NY wine lovers still have issues with California wines, but the chardonnays seem to get better all the time. Try pairing them with a great salmon dish.

Learning how to cook when you shop exclusively at a farmer's market can be challenging, since it is so different and so seasonal. But when you live above NYC's Greenmarket, there isn't much choice and once you've eaten food that is "fresh off the farm" in the middle of the city, how could you go back?

Barley is good for you and full of fiber. It also tastes great in summer dishes like Corn and Barley Salad and Chilled Yogurt and Barley Soup.

The Shake Shack lets you get a look at the line, which will be a long one, via its webcam before you even get there.

The minimalist, Mark Bittman, tackles tomatillos.

Frank Bruni gives the new Mr Chow a "satisfactory" rating. You might want to opt for Daisy May's BBQ U.S.A., which is a Times "Top Pick."

F is for Fairtrade, G is for Game and Grilling: The Observer on the ABCs of food

f is for farmers marketWhen we did our decidedly inspired D day yesterday, we hadn't yet seen Nigel Slater's occasional series on the ABCs of food. He's in the middle of the alphabet, now, and is hitting the highlights between "F" and "L." Here's a rundown:

  • F is for the Fairtrade mark and fish, especially fresh sustainable and (yes) Fairtrade fish.
  • F is for farmer's markets.
  • G is for game and grilling - Nigel suggests a stew of pigeon and rabbit with bacon, rough red wine and button mushrooms.
  • I is for Internet shopping and Italy - "our second gastronomic home."
  • J is for Japanese food. Nigel gives us a "recipe" for salted edamame beans.
  • K is for kitchen; Nigel celebrates the movement to break down walls between kitchen and dining room.
  • L is for lime, "the flavor of the moment," "most fashionable fruit next to the pomegranate," showing up in everything from "grilled garlic-infused scallops to ginger-spiked chicken soup" to lime zest in chocolates.

Recipes, wines and diet tips of the year: Seattle Times Food & Wine in 60 seconds

curry chicken burger with carrot salad was a
favorite of 2005It was a good year in the Seattle Times test kitchens. They cooked up hundreds of delicious recipes and got to quaff some sultry Washington wines. All the while trying to decide, caffeine, is it good, is it bad? Maybe if they cut back on the gewürtraminer...
