"Fork You" news and stories

You see my posts here every day. You might have even watched one or two episodes of Slashfood in the Kitchen. But did you know that I also make a little online cooking show called Fork You? The show's been taking a little break over the last few months, but is now back and has more tasty recipes and funny moments than before.

For those of you in the Philadelphia area, we're also recording our monthly live show tomorrow (November 1st) at 2 pm at Foster's Homeware (399 Market Street) in Old City. We're making veggie soup and drop biscuits and I'd love it if a Slashfood reader or two came by to say hi.

And her first interview was with me! Last week, while I was out in Los Angeles, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Average Betty at the Getty (a gorgeous museum in the hills overlooking the city). We talked about Slashfood, blogging, Fork You (the online cooking show I make with Scott) and Philadelphia food. She took my rambling answers and distilled it all down to a fun and concise 5 minute video.

If you haven't watched any of Betty's past videos, take some time to check them out. She has a particular way of combining food with quirky characters that is different from what anyone else out there is doing and it's really terrific!

If all of Jonathan's excellent step-by-step instructions weren't enough to convince you that you too can cook up corned beef at home, then watch this episode of Fork You from last year so that we can walk you through the steps in live action. As an added bonus, the episode also includes a recipe for Irish Soda Bread (which was excellent but it doesn't keep well, so plan on only making the amount that you and your brunch/dinner guests can eat in sitting).

Looking for a quick and easy dip to serve your guests for the big game? Here's one of my favorites. It has been part of my family's food tradition since my mom first tasted it at a potluck in the early seventies. It's an easy dip to throw together, consisting of 1 cup of sour cream, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 cloves crushed garlic and 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of curry powder. Add salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate for an hour or two before serving. The great part about this dip is that it tastes good with cut veggies, pita chips or sliced apples.

Last week, Scott and I filmed the first episode of Fork You Live. Half cooking class and half show, it was an opportunity to talk about food for nearly an hour in front of a live audience in the gorgeous demonstration kitchen at Foster's Homewares. A bunch of our friends came out, as well as some folks that had heard about the filming on the interwebs.

I did my best to to talk with most of the folks who came to watch us and one of the people I met was Diana Harman, who is a Philly baker who specializes in vegan cupcakes. We talked for a bit before we started filming and afterwards she waved goodbye and she and her friend were leaving. After she got home, she was inspired enough by my recipe for fruit salad with a coconut, lime and honey dressing that she created a vegan cupcake with similar flavors. I haven't tried them yet, but any cupcake with coconut milk, lime and banana has got to be good.
