Fall has fallen and that means one thing: the stinky poo smell of gingko fruit as they fall on the sidewalks and get all caught up in the treads of your shoes. On the bright side, you can come home and fill your stomach with rich beef stew. But first of all you have to cook it and I’m happy to show you how. Click on the photo below for my personal recipe. Believe me, it smells a whole lot better than gingko fruit.
So beefy, so good.
Okay maybe I should rename this site “Cooking with Matt”. What can I say? He’s a great cook, he makes preparing food easy and accessible and he always lets me shoot him cooking. See that’s all you need to do to be a star on this amazing blog. Alright so we already know Matt’s the Dumpling King. And in the last post I dubbed him The Earl of Sourdough. Now I must give him another alias: Pizza Maestro. Read on for the full story.
Every front yard should have one of these.
Alright you all. This post is decidedly anti “zone diet“. Don’t get me wrong, I adore protein and delicious meat, but this post and page is all about the carbs. Last month, I went back to the Bay for the holidays and came back to NYC bearing a very special gift. The gift of sourdough starter bequeathed to me so generously from Matt aka Dumpling King (though now I would also dub him The Earl of Sourdough). And since then, it’s fair to say I’ve been a little bit obsessed – obsessed with maintaining and tending the starter and baking the perfect sourdough loaf. I’m happy to say the maintenance of the starter is going pretty well, because I’m a nurturing kind of guy. The bread? Well I’m still working on that. Click on the image below for the full story behind the starter and my obsession with sourdough.
this is how much Matt loves his starter
