Foie Gras May Be Humanely Produced After All
When it comes to culinary controversy, there are few things more divisive than the fatty duck liver known as foie gras. The reason? The allegedly inhumane "gavage," or force-feeding process, which involves placing a metal tube down a duck's throat to deliver large amounts of food.
Name That Dish!
If you're thinking of forgoing turkey this Thanksgiving, you might opt for this opulent French dish, which stars duck and citrus instead. Do you know what it's called?
Do You Decorate With Duck Decoys?
In an episode of Sex and the City, Trey's mother Bunny MacDougal festoons his Park Avenue apartment with duck decoys and plaid curtains, in a begrudging attempt to wield control over her son; Charlotte was less than pleased. All in-law issues aside, if it were me, I'd opt out of the duck decoys regardless, unless I'd spray painted them in glossy white to be cheeky or ironic. How about you?
Duck, It's What's For Dinner
Last weekend, I met up with some friends at a nearby butcher shop. The place is known for quality meats, and on this particular morning the duck legs looked mighty tasty. So I picked up a pair of them and went home for a cooking adventure.
Cute Alert: Duckling Loves Doggie
We refurbished one of the cutest vids around with a new soundtrack. Just when you think this interspecies BFF video couldn't get any cuter, a little girl wanders into the frame and bumps it into cute nirvana. Enjoy!
Cute Alert: Now I Lay Me Down to Snore . . .
I never thought I'd consider any kind of snoring "cute," but here it is. Who would've thunk that something so tiny could make this kind of noise while sleeping? Or maybe he's not sleeping at all.
Fast & Easy Dinner: 20-Minute Peking Duck
Normally Peking duck takes over 24 hours to make, however this dish — which is inspired by the ingredients used in the traditional Chinese recipe — comes together in twenty short minutes. Duck breasts are used instead of a whole duck, making for a quick cook time. The fragrant, syrup-like sauce is a blend of fresh orange juice, sesame oil, and Sriracha.
Jambalaya Two Ways — Beginner and Expert
I make chili around the Super Bowl and I enjoy cooking up jambalaya to celebrate Fat Tuesday. Jambalaya is a signature Creole dish that combines a variety of ingredients ranging from poultry and sausage to shellfish and green peppers. This classic one-pot rice dish is a must for every cook's recipe collection.
Flock of Ducks Too Lazy to Take the Stairs
There's no telling how this pack of quackers got into such a sitch, but they seem to be holding their own here. Methinks they're on a Cinnabon run and the food court happens to be one floor up. But hey, they'll waddle wherever to get them some sweets— the stale bread crumbs served down by the pond are getting a little old, you know?
Have You Ever Eaten Peking Duck?
This past October, I was lucky enough to find myself in Beijing, eating platefuls of Peking Duck. The Quanjude Roast Duck restaurant was established in 1979 and is one of Beijing's "must try" foods. There are actually several locations, and the one I visited did not let me down.
