Recipe Corner

• One more dessert from Girl Gone Primal, choc-berry pie. This one’s a little more complex than the chocolate balls, but well worth the effort.
• Last week I mentioned Dr. Eades and his new Sous Vide for home cooking. If you want an idea of how (and how well) it works, check out NoodleFood’s week with the sous vide.

Comment of the Week

If you want to give something more personal, especially to friends and staff at the office, consider roasting your own collection of mixed nuts packed into a glass jar with a red ribbon on it. I usually keep a mix of roasted almonds, macadamia nuts, and pecans lightly salted on hand. I follow the recipe in The Garden of Eating by Rachel and Don, which consists of spreading the nuts in one layer on a cookie sheet and pop in the oven for about 10 to 15 min at 350-degree F. Then place in a bowl, sprinkle with a little bit of celtic salt (I also sometimes sprinkle on dried dulse as well) and after cooling I pack them into glass jars. Your friends will thank you!
