These look a lot like the potato latkes I made….. but with so much more wonderful stuff in them

I’m impressed! I think this is my favorite dish which I saw today. Definitely a must!

You can whip cream must faster if you first chill the cream itself as well as the bowl and beaters. You can also add a couple of drops of lemon juice to the mixture, which will also aid the cream in whipping faster and more consistently.

Comment on ramp pizza by Jessy

Luckily I have been able to find ramps at the local Rivermarket here in Kansas City for the past two weekends, and I was psyched to try this recipe! (I got two bundles for $5, so tomorrow is ramp risotto). I had one hefty slice of leftover bacon in the fridge, so I diced it up and sauteed the ramps in the bacon grease and used a premixed cheese of parm, pecorino romano and asiago. (I used your pizza dough recipe from the cookbook too!) I have a feeling the bacon was a totally awesome idea. But it by no means overshadowed those tasty ramps. Deb, since I moved to KC I have been blown away by so many amazing eateries and all the high-quality local products. Its a well-kept secret but there are tons of unassuming foodies here! Come visit, we will show you a good time! :)

Comment on 44-clove garlic soup by Kate

We doubled this recipe, then didn’t end up using it (our stock had gluten in it, making it inedible for the Celiac-type we had for dinner). My boyfriend just ate five bowls of it. We are now trying to determine if it’s possible to overdose on garlic. He says he doesn’t regret a thing, though he was whimpering by the end…

Comment on gnocchi in tomato broth + more book tour by Taryn

I had the same problem as Elkie– I just ended up with a gluey, sticky mess :( The broth was great, but the gnocchi was not! Any ways to remedy this without buying a potato ricer? Would pressing the baked potatoes through the smaller holes of a box grater be a better choice?

Made it as written and they turned out great! Thanks – I now have a new staple base to play with. I already have a list of variations to try… with shrimp,with different veggies, with fried egg, with a hearty spicy eggplant sauce…

Your pie-on-its-face has a long tradition: my newly married parents pulled a cherry pie out of the oven and the rack dumped it onto the freshly washed kitchen floor. Since it was freshly washed, they sat down and ate pie. In about 1936. Thanks for reminding me!
