Culinary Favorites From A to Z, The Blog

Discovered this interesting little volume last week called Julia’s Kitchen Wisdom. Penned in 2000 as a joint effort between Julia Child and David Nussbaum, it is a practical guide to Julia Child’s ‘essential techniques and recipes from a lifetime of cooking’ nicely updated for today’s kitchen to include modern equipment and methods.

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.

Lensmaster KimGiancaterino created Culinary Favorites From A to Z in March, 2008, to showcase new recipes and food pages and grew it carefully into a group with more than 880 food themed pages, visiting and commenting on every single one.  I’ll be attempting to continue that tradition.

Because it is a large group, however, it is difficult to feature every single lens that is submitted. Therefore, in an effort to give everyone a chance to have their lens mentioned on the page, I have added a link list but I thought it would also be nice to feature some of the great food lenses I find here on Squidtop. 

When I first had this idea, I thought I’d pick the best lenses but picking has proven impossible. Tonight, for instance, I read ten pages and I enjoyed EVERY SINGLE ONE of them…so I’ve picked five randomly to feature here.

Monarch13’s Kitchen Decorating with Chili Peppers ~ Muy Caliente
is a feast for the eyes AND tells you how to roast peppers if you’ve ever wanted to try doing so.

Ramkitten’s Huevos Rancheros: Breakfast (Or Dinner) At Our House is a lens PACKED with personal writing and homemade photos. I’ve invited myself over for eggs!

A fan of before and after photos? Well then you’ll want to check out Stargazer’s Greek Roasted Chicken! The photos definitely sold me on this recipe!

Squidoo newcomer LauraFincannon’s Beignet – French Doughnuts  is a yummy look at French doughnuts.

ArtSiren tells you how to make your own curry powder! If you are a fan of curries, making your own powder makes sense.

I’ll say goodnight now and leave you with these tasty Squidoo lenses to think about and promise to be back with more!
