"Scott McNulty" news and stories

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.

A while back I heard that Doug over at Blogsoop had some Supertaster Tests that he was giving away to food bloggers. Being that I always wanted to know where I fell on the tasting scale, I got in touch with him and asked (very nicely) if there was any way that I could become one of the food bloggers to be gifted with a little white strip imbued with harmless chemicals. He said yes and sent me not one, but two white strips.

Scott and I decided to take the test in front the camera and what you see above is the result. Sadly, according to this test I am a non-taster, the strip didn't taste like anything to me. Scott found it to be incredibly bitter, thus determining that he is a Super Taster!

Just when you were wondering what to do with all those apples you picked over the weekend, Scott and I come to your rescue with a couple of yummy suggestions. We trekked out to Linvilla Orchards in Media, PA to pick a bushel of apples (literally) and then brought them back to my kitchen. We made a pot of applesauce, a recipe so easy that you don't really need a recipe at all and a pan of juicy, oatmeal topped apple crisp. So watch, enjoy and go eat an apple.

If you missed it, make sure to check out the first episode of Slashfood in the Kitchen that premiered last week where we made brussels sprouts and a couscous salad. If that doesn't satisfy your cravings for food video starring Scott and me, make sure to head over to Fork You where it all started.

Some of you may know that I make an online cooking show called Fork You with my friend Scott (of TUAW fame). Well we've taken our witty banter and channeled it into a new show called "Slashfood in the Kitchen" for your viewing pleasure. In this first episode, we make roasted brussels sprouts and a couscous salad, two recipes that I posted about recently here at Slashfood.

If the quality of the episode is a little wonky, fear not, a high resolution version will be coming your way soon.
