Culinary Favorites From A to Z, The Blog

Recently I read a page devoted to making perfect scrambled eggs without a teflon pan. I tried this method by Tandemonimom and, guess what, it works perfectly. I was thrilled.

I’ve long had mixed feelings about my t-fal pans and Tandemonimom used a frying pan from Calphalon’s Comtemporary stainless set which she has been using successfully for more than two years and which Amazon has listed for more than 35 percent off. I digress.

My real purpose for this post is to celebrate the creation of perfect scrambled eggs. If you want to make them too, check out her page at How to Make Perfect Scrambled Eggs – WITHOUT a Nonstick Pan.

Recently, I was gifted with the page formerly called ‘Comfort Food Headquarters.’ I’ve tweeked the title a bit to include more words that people are searching for like ‘comfort food recipes’ and ‘comfort food cookbook.’ This page should prove useful to anyone seeking comfort food recipes because it is packed with some of the best recipe and food pages on Squidoo.

I’ve freshened up my A Julie And Julia Book Review and I would recommend it to foodies. I enjoyed it and now that I have seen the movie, I realize that they make a good pair.  Both the movie and the book offered something different.

How exciting is it when you can combine two of your passions? Yesterday, I was able to write about two of my favorite topics on the same page. Those topics? Food and movies.

I created a page for those seeking wonderful food-themed movies…and I found a lot of movies to include. I started with my two of my favorites, Ratatouille and Chocolat, added Julie & Julia (which I have a personal goal of watching this weekend) and then I found 22 more interesting sounding food and/or cooking movies to add to the list.

Then I set the list up in such a way that you can visit and vote for your favorites. I’ll also consider adding any new food-themed movies that you recommend. Hopefully, in the end it will be one delicious food movie list!

Until next time,

If you are interested in food writing online, you are likely interested in food photography. I just found a page, called Food Glorious Food, which is packed with beautiful photos and tons of tips for showcasing your food creations.

Cloud9 says, “Food shots require a little bit of prep; making the recipe and setting up the shoot, however when you get that perfect shot it’s well worth your time and effort.” To see all of her ideas visit her page at Food Glorious Food.

NOTE:  I have chosen to illustrate that page and this one with this vibrant apron. Isn’t it simply too groovy? It wouldn’t work in my kitchen at all but it sure is smashing! It’s a French Bull apron and is available in six assorted but equally marvelous patterns!

Quite a collection, if I do say so myself. They’re not all Christmas pages so some of them should hopefully do well all year long. Only time will tell…meanwhile, “Cookies anyone?”

My latest apron find has been the amazing Jessie Steele aprons.  I was surprised to discover how many there are and that they are amongst the best-selling aprons on Amazon. I guess that last part won’t surprise you if you are aware of the popularity of this company’s aprons and the fact that they have appeared on numerous television shows and magazines.  Add to that the fact that they are beautiful and they come in so many colors and patterns and what’s not to like?

I’ve devoted my latest apron page to Jessie Steele. The page is called, Where Can I Buy The Best Jessie Steele Apron?  It features ten of the best-selling Jessie Steele aprons all of which are available through Amazon.  If you love aprons, you are sure to love these ones.  If you just want to see what Jessie Steele aprons Amazon has available, you can simply click on the following link to Amazon.

By the way, this Christmas candy cane apron is not amongst the best selling ones, I suppose because it is a seasonal product, but it sure is lovely!
