Hot Stuff: Food Section Round Up
We gobble the various food sections up each Wednesday. These are our favorite tidbits from today's offerings:
SF Chronicle: You may have memories of dry, bland Irish food. Forget that! Here's a revamped St. Paddy's day menu, including steak and oyster pie and Bailey's pots de creme. Look for changes for SF's Original Joe's (pictured here), one of our favorite places for meat and pasta in an old school setting.
San Jose Mercury News: More Irish cooking in a new cook book. A new book on food labels, as well as restaurant gossip. Dutch processed cocoa is explained.
Oakland Tribune: Cringe-worthy headline alert! "You'll roux the day you make this gumbo." Ugggggh. Two gumbo recipes from the smart & quite media savvy NY based Lee Bros. Chilled crops lead to less available faves at higher prices on oranges, avocados, and artichokes. Tasty sounding Irish side dish, with a promise of no overboiled stench: red cabbage braised with maple and ginger.
