I've had a heck of a time finding red chiles -not even Northgate Gonzalez had them! Underwood lists them online but they didn't bring them to the Brentwood farmers market. I even found chile de Agua from Oaxaca which is pretty rare but no red Fresno or Jalapeños

Just remember that just because you see it in the store doesn't mean it's not a real issue. There will be a supply already in the pipeline and Huy Fong has some banked to service preferred accounts, but they really aren't making any more until they get more chilies. Who knows how long that pipeline will last, maybe it won't be a problem in the long run. I like underwood family farms too and was disappointed how that shook out. normally I make my own anyway, but I should buy my red chilies from them They come to my local Sunday market -now i'm curious what chilies were actually used anyway. Fresno's are normally easier to get so that's what i use.

Everythings been said. IMO it's worth getting bincho and at least here locally it's not all that hard to get. Usually the Korean markets carry it in the LA area and I could prob get the Japanese stuff if I really wanted it. Just remembered I have an end of a bag from the local Japanese market. I'll post a picture.

I'm glad I have my copy! Highly recommended if you can find a used copy somewhere. Wow, that sucks though because a lot of the good French books don't get a translation and this one did. Btw if you are in LA and want to take a look at it I believe Jon from Japanese Knife Imports has a copy on his bookshelf at work!

I love that Amazon is now sending me cookbook recommendations in French! I may have a problem 👀😂🤣🤦

Rioja's age pretty well if you have a good one. Heck when I visited Lopez de Heredia in Haro they poured a 14 year white that tasted like it had years still left in it, truly amazing. @Owtahear I recommend you send your wine to me and i'll let you if it's still good 😇

material (17cm×8cm type for 2 units) 200g/50g chocolate (black/milk) *50g bar for garnish on top* 200ml fresh cream 3 eggs 50g granulated sugar recipe finely chop the chocolate (black) and add the warmed fresh cream and melt. combine the eggs and granulated sugar and mix until chewy. (ribbon stage) if there is room, put the chocolate and the temperature together in hot water. mix 1 and 2 in several divided. (batter is for 2 molds, it did all fit in my 300g matfer mold) lay a cooking sheet (line with parchment paper) on a mold and pour the dough. i like the size and quantity, but this time i shed 250 g of fabric on a 17 cm × 8 cm mold. bake in a 130-degree oven (266F) for 30-40 minutes, board chocolate (milk) on top and bake for another 15-20 minutes. when it is burnt, take the crude heat and complete it. *Translation courtesy of Microsoft edge

Where do you purchase that from?

Is there an English version? What browser are you using? You should be able to auto translate! That's what I did, but I can post the translated recipe when I get back home . He was a 2 Michelin * Chef I gather from his bio, mostly French background and has got some interesting recipes on there.

🥲 they have stopped making filters for the Camelbak Relay pitcher (it filtered water as it came in ame again before it left the pitcher. Love it, but my heart is broken Absent paying 55$ for a single filter on eBay it looks like I'm in the market for a new one. Anything worth looking at besides the usual Britta? What are your favorites?

Made this mini chocolate cake with chocolate from Ritual. Recipe from https://chef-johjiro.com/2022/02/10/itachoco_cake/

@paul o' vendange i was thinking of getting a Ducasse book any suggestions on which one? Was looking mostly at Nature or Bistro but can be talked into one of the others!

mesmerizing! she's got skills. I knew you could do it off of a board but i didn't know what it entailed. wow

Cornstarch. Yes.

-sugar (raises the temperature for coagulation) https://www.incredibleegg.org/professionals/manufacturers/real-egg-functionality/coagulation-thickening Don't know if this helps, but it seems there are several scientific papers on the subject as well

Score! For me Saveur had the best recipes of any of the food mags and well written long articles. Have you been to Le Cirque?! that's awesome to find a signed copy, wow.

German is beyond my ken but but I'm definitely interested in any great deals on French or Spanish language books! That looks fantastic 😻

Another New to me book - this one a previously owned Michel Richard book bought at Now Serving in LA when I went to get my Pie book signed by Chef Calum (not sure why certain pictures change orientation when posted??)

Yes Joyce!

The closest one is 22 miles away, darn! But it's definitely on my list of places to check out now!

Where did you see them ? Never had the Poulet Rouge but I do know someone getting a case, so i'm curious to hear how they taste as the price seems reasonable. My current fav is the Cooks Venture / TJ's heirloom bird. Our Farms (cooksventure.com)

Just double checking -should that be 300 g water?

My bad i should have tagged @Owtahear who responded to a comment about David Rosengarten's Dean and DeLuca cookbook

It really is a great cookbook!

@Chris Hennes Maybe if you used the frisee you could have heavier on the Green goddess? or even have some on the side to dip a la ranch dressing. Just a thought -it looks like a tasty tartine
