Spices of Life - Morimoto: Samurai or Chef? Pt. I

[LESS INFO] 32 VIEWS | ADDED 00:52:54 10/14/09
For Chef Masaharu Morimoto, "cutting boards and knives are sacred." As a cook, I have been impressed with the importance of cleavers and knives, but never on the level as this Japanese chef. When I first met Morimoto two years ago, he was on a book tour, traveling to Boston. The airline had somehow misplaced his luggage with his magical knives inside. He couldn’t eat or sleep until they were found. Soon, apparently, you will be able to buy knives like the ones he uses through the website, www.chefmorimoto.com. According to Morimoto, his knives are superior to most commercially available knives. He feels as though they are an extension of his arm. Just as a samurai warrior feels passion and reverence for his sword, as you can see in the video, Morimoto has similar feelings for his knives. Enjoy! Nina

Spices of Life: Best Recipe Ever: Moon Cakes

[LESS INFO] 57 VIEWS | ADDED 01:21:33 09/30/09
The Harvest Moon Festival and Moon Cakes are very special to me. First of all, it was one of the first foods I tasted many years ago when I went to live in Taiwan. If you happen to go to Chinatown, you will see the Chinese bakery shelves are filled with numerous varieties- each one with a different filling. The Chinese like their moon cakes stuffed with red bean paste, lotus seed paste, dried fruits and occasionally garnished with a salty duck egg yolk. Sound appetizing? They can be cloying and not as appealing to the western palate. I learned a wonderful version of moon cakes from a Chinese chef years ago in Taiwan and I’ve further adapted the recipe. My Five-Treasure Moon Cakes have a buttery-vanilla crust stuffed with a sumptuous apricot marmalade filling and it is one of my favorite recipes. I like to make a batch or two of the dough and filling and stuff them. I then freeze the uncooked, shaped cakes in plastic bags and bake them the day I am serving them. They are delicious served with tea. Let’s all celebrate this beautiful, but poignant time of year! (Winter’s on the way.) Enjoy the full, harvest moon and make moon cakes. Nina Moon cake presses can be ordered through Woks ‘n’ Things, 2234 S. Wentworth Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Phone: 312-842-0701

According to celebrity chef Ming Tsai, shrimp fried rice was the first dish that he learned to cook as a child. Now, many years later, after training in France, Japan, and in restaurants around the country, the owner of Blue Ginger in Wellesley, Mass has updated the recipe to make it even more delicious and healthy. Ming created the recipe inspired by the Healthy Eating Pyramid. To learn more, go to NutritionSource.com at the Harvard School of Public Health website. Ming is not only a member of the Nutrition Roundtable, but a national spokesperson for the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN), working to further education and research on food allergies. To learn more about Ming, his restaurant, books, and other activities, check out Ming.com. Ming’s shrimp fried rice is a sumptuous meal-in-one dinner and the leftovers are terrific for lunch or dinner the next day. Enjoy! Nina

Let’s face it. When it comes to dinner, we want it all: * Easy * Delicious * Healthy I’m no different even though I’m a cookbook author with 10 books to my credit. Making dinner every night can be a drag. Dr. Lillian Cheung, a nutritionist from the Harvard School of Public Health, loves to cook, and she knows what’s good for you. Lillian and I went to a Farmer’s Market and were inspired. Using the HSPH newly-designed Food Pyramid (you can actually understand it!), Lillian and I give different ideas for a great autumn menu. Go to the Recipe section for * Cantonese-style Microwave-Steamed Halibut with Scallions and Ginger * Roasted Ratatouille with Zucchini, Eggplant, and Cherry Tomatoes (great for leftovers) * Roasted Brussels Sprouts * Herbal Brown Rice For information on the newly formed HSPH Pyramid, go to the News Section on SpicesofLife.com. Enjoy! Nina

Have you checked out the variety of prepared foods in your supermarket lately? You can take a roasted chicken and dress it up or cut it down. Add a sauce or vegetable and make it look homemade. I make full use of many of the following convenience items: * All kinds of ethnic staples and simmering sauces line the international aisle * Enticing frozen produce and prepared meats * Fresh and frozen pastas * Pre-cut and prepared fresh produce It’s never been a better time for health-conscious cooks.
