  1. I've seen some of these works in the Louvre... But it was definitely before this restoration: https://news.artnet.com/art-world/giuseppe-arcimboldo-four-seasons-restoration-louvre-2497463
  2. Down and dirty from Serious Eats... What's the Difference Between Baking Powder and Baking Soda?

    I dunno... That finger is getting awfully close. And you still have to HOLD the bowl...put it on a friggin' towel, curled up.

    Here are mine... On a high shelf, as opposed to pegboard. Sadly, my kitchen does not have as much wall space for pegboard as Julia's did. I did steal that idea for a corner, however...

    That's about when I stopped watching!

    The fickle fecal finger is still inside the rim of the bowl. I think the ring is most useful, as it's used here in Julia's kitchen... Note to the right of the doorway, hanging halfway down. Picture from here...https://newengland.com/yankee/magazine/julia-childs-kitchen-2/

    At least your brain was able to figure out the second part of your post.

    I've been using my mother's RevereWare nesting set for as long as I can remember... Doesn't everyone have these?

    Pain perdu. Challah from Party Bus Bakeshop.
  10. Would a bus tub work? https://www.amazon.com/s?k=bus+tub&crid=13LAMEQZ8RN3G&sprefix=bus+tu%2Caps%2C115&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
  11. Both Modernist Cusine (Volume 5) and Modernist Pizza (Volume 3) are recipe books. In each series, I guess you could say there is a cookbook.
  12. You're absolutely right; cookbooks, for a while anyway, became "coffee-table books." Compare, for instance, the photographs in Jacques's "La Technique" with what you might see today. La Technique has a ton of step-by-step black and white photos, brilliantly explaining, literally, how to cook. I wonder also, how Modernist Cuisine's writers feel about not being included. How well has it aged? (It's 13 now).
  13. But there is a book on the list from 2019. My collection includes 20 of the 25. I can understand the Time-Life Books or The Good Cook series not being on the list, as they were more likely influential in their totality, as opposed to any one book in the series being seminal. They almost deserve their own list, along with the "______The Beautiful" Series.

    Some pretty big diver scallops (very rare in the middle) over linguini. The pasta cooked in the pan sauce of butter, white wine, garlic, lemon, olive oil, pasta water.
