I am taking a little holiday break, feasters….I’m off to NYC for a few days to show my husband my exhibit at the French Culinary Institute, drop off my work for the food photography exhibit at the Powerhouse Arena in Brooklyn and see friends and family. Sweet wishes for a delicious New Year! “See” you in a week or so…
Sufganiyot Jelly Donuts
In honor of this last day of Hanukkah, I made Sufganiyot (jelly donuts). Believe it or not, this is a Hanukkah tradition, right along with latkes. This was the first time I’d made them so I used Martha Stewart’s recipe and they came out great!
Photography Show at ICC
I am happy to announce that I just put up a solo show of my photography at the International Culinary Center, home of the French Culinary Institute, in SoHo, NYC. It will be up through March 2012 and showcases dishes by several different chefs including Alex Espiritu (of Valrhona), Dan Kluger (of ABC Kitchen, NYC), Daniel Humm (of Eleven Madison Park), Elizabeth Falkner (of Orson in SF), Francois Payard, Johnny Iuzzini (Jean George, NYC), The Voltaggio Brothers (of Top Chef), and Kevin Sbraga (of Top Chef), among others. Images of dishes above, from top are by Pichet Ong, The Voltaggio Brothers and Johnny Iuzzini.
Kale Chips
Kale Chips are an easy healthy snack to have before dinner, perhaps with a holiday cocktail!? All the crunchy satisfaction, and a little less guilt. They burn quickly, though, so watch them like a hawk. Four of five minutes in a hot oven does it, just until they get a little brown around the edges. Enjoy!
