Say what? Exactly. Until last year, Katie and Bret (aka Meatball Hands) had never cooked with Jerusalem artichokes. But they got them last year in their CSA vegetable box. Wondering what to do, they perused their copy of the venerable Silver Spoon Cookbook which lists recipes by their main ingredients and they found a recipe for Jerusalem artichoke risotto which they made and said was absolutely delicious. This year, they got Jerusalem artichokes again and I was fortunate enough to be invited for the encore preparation of the delicious meal. And fortunately for all of you, I documented the cooking process so that you all might enjoy and perhaps duplicate. Click on the delicious tuber below for the full dish.

A meat frenzy in the City of Angels
Oi, tuto bem? That’s Portuguese for “what up, yo?” Here’s another word for you: churrasco. That’s Portuguese for Brazilian style bbq wherein a variety of meats are slow cooked over charcoal until dripping with juicy deliciousness and then sliced into little morsels for people to eat over the course of several hours. In other words, it’s a little slice of heaven.
And thanks to Jake and Sari who opened up their home and back yard to Almir Santre whose skill, talent and marinades have no rivals that I’m aware of, I got to spend a few blessed hours in heaven last weekend. Click on the mouth watering photo below to read more about the bbq and the rest of the blessed food weekend in LA.
