Joel Riddell A little love from Coi and Cane Rosso

A little love from Coi and Cane Rosso

Daniel Boulud once told us
"when I interview a chef for my kitchen, I ask him to cook a chicken".

I didn't quite understand this notion until two spectacular meals just a
week apart.  One, the most elegant and perfect; the other rustic and
satisfying - still perfect- but in it's own way.

Gerard Frey Plushenko giant in short program

Until he came out of skating hibernation this season, Evgeni Plushenko had settled himself in for a long winter’s nap - three years long, in fact. But when Mother Russia needed him back for the Olympics, the defending champion dutifully rubbed his eyes, dusted off his skates and emerged from retirement with his jumping skills still intact. “I am nervous today… Continue

Denise Ward Your Spice Cabinet

Well, I may a little behind the curve on this, but the other day my craving for Moroccan flavor for my spaghetti squash dish was the vehicle for my discovery. Since I cook with mostly fresh herbs I rarely dig through some of my dried spices stuffed away in the rack. But when I examined by ground Coriander I realized that it must have been long past it's "recommended 3 months in the pantry". So, I headed to our wonderful New Leaf market to see if they carried spices in bulk. And they do! So, I gr… Continue

Denise Ward A Girls' Night Out---In

Friday night we offered a Girls' Night Out cooking class. The menu was the result of a competition we held during the summer called the "Chowhound Challenger". Participants submitted menu ideas for what they considered to be a fun collection of food and drink that "girls" could really appreciate. The winner, Dornia Hoffer, suggested preparing the types of foods that are a bit fussy, delicate, and not at all manly. There would be no Barbeque sauce at this meal and definitely no meat or potatoes (… Continue

Denise Ward Kaiserschmarrn

I've just returned from an amazing,albeit frigid, visit to Bavaria. For me, most vacations are defined by their culinary experiences and this trip was no exception. After having been away from Germany for 10 years I needed to know if my memories of the delectable Kaiserschmarrn had become loftier than the reality. What I hadn't realized is just how many variations of this Austrian specialty there are. It is basically a pancake-type mixture made with eggs, flour, and milk that can be somewhat scr… Continue

Susie Calhoun Memories in the Making

What is it about food that brings back so many fond memories? Tonight I was using a ham bone, the remainder of my Honey Baked Ham Ranch House Breakfast gift, in the Gloria Retzlaff’s Country Pea Soup recipe. (The Holm Family Cookbook page - 87 ) This fabulous food gift was given to me by Raelene Vieux – a rancher and fantastic cook. Raelene shared her Potato and Ham Bake Breakfast Special recipe (The Holm Family Cookbook page - 20) and along with her daughters, Melani… Continue

Ian Roberts How Do Salmon Get Their Color?

I had such a wonderful visit to San Francisco and with the Dining Around crew last year (Joel and Gene) that I brought the family back for another visit a few months ago. Loved the Alcatraz tour - what a thrill! Oh, and the food at Sam Wo's was awesome - and having to walk the 3 flights of stairs to get the food helped burn a few of the calories that I consumed that night! When visiting, I had someone ask me what I did for a living. "I farm salmon in British Columbia", I said. Like most, this p… Continue

Susie Calhoun The first five years....

The Holm Family Cookbook project has been rather lengthy. The first five years were spent gathering recipes from the family and friends that attended our family gatherings. Deciding the direction of the cookbook provided a topic for lively discussion among the core group - Tilli Holm Calhoun, Nancy Calhoun Mueller, Merry Calhoun Carter, Susie Calhoun, Patsy Holm Neely and Wendy Neely Howe. Tilli, with a love of history, wanted to include much of the family's heritage. Nancy, with a background at… Continue
