(Hot Cross Bun with homemade marmalade)
Is it just me, or does holiday baking seem to revolve around a lot of dried fruit? Currants and mixed peel for Christmas tarts, dried cranberry stuffing for Thanksgiving turkeys and for Easter, raisin-studded hot cross buns… Mind you, it’s not like I’m complaining. Some of my best friends are [...]

Kennt ihr Malen nach Zahlen? Diese Sonderausgabe des Foodies Rätsel ist sowas ähnliches und zwar Kochen nach Zutaten. Karin und Mel hatten die Idee während des letzten Foodies Rätsels. Beide geben mir Zutaten vor, aus denen ich etwas kochen muss.

Die Zutaten für Kochen nach Zutaten #1 sind:

• weisse Bohnen
• Zwiebeln
• Speck
• Lamm-, Hasen oder Schweinefilet (eins auswählen)
• Filo- oder Strudelteig
• + 1 Zutat nach freier Wahl

Jetzt kommt ihr ins Spiel. Ihr habt zwei Möglichkeiten mitzumachen entweder

a) ihr ratet was ich aus den Zutaten kochen werden und hinterlasst eure Idee in einem Kommentar oder/und
b) ihr kocht auch etwas aus den Zutaten und schreibt am 12. März (nicht vorher) darüber in eurem Blog, und hinterlasst ebenfalls einen Kommentar mit Link zu eurem Rezept.

Alles klar? Karin, Mel und ich freuen uns auf eine hoffentlich rege Teilnahme!

Do you know Paint by Number? This special edition of foodies riddle is something similar. We call it Cook by Ingredients. Karin and Mel came up with the idea during the last foodies riddle. Both of them propose ingredients, with which I will prepare a dish and write about it on March 12.

The ingredients for Cook by Ingredients #1 are:

• white beans
• onions
• bacon
• loin of lamb, rabbit or pork (choose one)
• Phyllo or Strudel dough
• + 1 ingredient of your choice

Now your part. You have two possibility to participate either

a) you guess what I will cook with the ingredients listed above and leave a comment or/and
b) you prepare a dish with the above listed ingredients too and write about it on your blog on March 12 (not before) and leave a comment with the link to your recipe as well.

Any questions? Karin, Mel and I look forward to a hopefully active participation!

Omnomicon’s premier recipe contest is finally back! While the holidays are rife with opportunities for a round-robin, I was busy and wasn’t entirely sure everyone else would follow through given their own busy-ness, (but mostly I was just busy). And SO I’m pleased to announce January 2010’s Recipe Round-Robin: Pancakes!
Pancakes. The easiest thing that will [...]

By popular demand, Dine Originals Columbus has decided to bring back the wildly successful Restaurant Week for a fall edition. I went gung-ho this spring, and went to 15 restaurants in 7 days. I won’t be able to be quite that enthusiastic this time around, but keep your eyes open starting Monday night for my Restaurant Week experiences. It will run this time starting Monday the 7th, and ending September 13th. You can view more details and the restaurant week menus on the Dine Originals Columbus site. Prices will be either $20.09 or $30.09 for a multi-course meal. The extra .09 per diner goes to charity, which is a nice touch.

So, I’ve got a little treat for you all. Karen Simonian of Dine Originals Columbus has provided me a $25 gift certificate (that can be used at any one of the 40 Dine Originals Columbus member restaurants) to give away to one of my readers. While this can’t be used during Restaurant Week, it will give one of you the opportunity to maybe try a restaurant you’ve been wanting to. So, how do you get your name in the hat to win?

In the comments section below, let me know either a) if you had to pick one, which Restaurant Week menu is your favorite OR b) about one of your DOC Restaurant Week experiences (from either this upcoming week or the spring edition. The random drawing will take place at the end of Restaurant Week, on September 13, 2009 at 11:59PM. One entry per person, please – and make sure your email address is linked in there somewhere. Bonus entry to those of you who Twitter this contest and leave a comment with your Twitter username so I can verify.

Good luck, everyone – and I hope you enjoy your meals out as much as I will!
