L.A. Times - Food & Dining Headlines from latimes.com

Homemade charcuterie made easy with rillettes and terrines Nov 9th 2013, 08:00, by By Russ Parsons The California Cook: Spiced pork terrine is an easy step into homemade charcuterie, and rillettes and terrines are great to have on hand when holiday guests drop by. Making charcuterie is all the rage among restaurant chefs, but with the exception of a few hardy adventurers, the urge to cure hams and sausages hasn't yet quite caught on with home cooks.

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: Three restaurants in the L.A. area take smoke to seductive heights

L.A. Times - Food & Dining Headlines from latimes.com

Three restaurants in the L.A. area take smoke to seductive heights Nov 9th 2013, 08:00, by By S. Irene Virbila Critic's Choice: Smoke is a versatile tool for the savvy chef. Three Los Angeles-area restaurants that use it well: Hinoki & the Bird, Barney Greengrass and Horse Thief BBQ. After eating at Asador Etxebarri, the extraordinary grill restaurant in the Spanish Basque country, last month, where chef-owner Victor Arguinzoniz works such magic cooking over charcoal that he makes himself, smoke is on my mind. I kept thinking about the different ways it can be used. It can be subtle or overpowering — or barely kissed with smoke, the way some of Arguinzoniz's dishes are. But it can also penetrate deep into a cut of beef, or illuminate the taste and texture of a fish. Media files: 16x9

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: Jonathan Gold | L.A. restaurant review: Purist omakase sushi at Zo

L.A. Times - Food & Dining Headlines from latimes.com

Jonathan Gold | L.A. restaurant review: Purist omakase sushi at Zo Nov 9th 2013, 08:00, by By Jonathan Gold Keizo Seki's downtown Zo serves one meal: the $145 omakase menu. His sushi is traditional but distinct, with admirable integrity. We have talked before about the gentrification of deep downtown, the colorful area familiar from dystopian novels and Tom Waits lyrics that has become the most reliable destination in town for bespoke cocktails, vintage party dresses and monogrammed dog bowls. And among the incongruous and wonderful things to have opened near the newly scrubbed corner of 4th and Main, that former nexus of flophouses and all-night porn theaters, none may stick out more than Zo, the new downtown sister to the Westside's Sushi Zo, which serves $145 omakase tasting menus in a neighborhood that has not completely shrugged off its aura of loosies and cheap wine.

L.A. Times - Food & Dining Headlines from latimes.com

Sriracha candy canes for a fiery Christmas Nov 8th 2013, 00:10, by By Jenn Harris Sriracha seems to be everywhere. And if you live in certain parts of the city of Irwindale, where the Huy Fong Foods chile plant is located, you may smell it in the air. The red chile sauce is a condiment at Subway, on the menu at some of L.A.'s hottest restaurants, had an entire festival devoted to it, and now, it's in your Christmas candy. Media files: 16x9

L.A. Times - Food & Dining Headlines from latimes.com

FDA trans fat ban: Proposal makes clear no amount is safe Nov 7th 2013, 18:00, by By Tenny Tatusian The FDA announcement Thursday that it was moving to eliminate added trans fat  from processed food means that microwave popcorn, frozen pizza, refrigerated dough, cookies and ready-to-use frostings are too much of a health risk. Yes, even that coffee creamer is trying to kill you. Media files: 16x9

The Dish - Orlando Sentinel: Hot stuff: Sriracha Candy Canes spice up the holiday offerings

The Dish - Orlando Sentinel Headlines from Orlando Sentinel

Hot stuff: Sriracha Candy Canes spice up the holiday offerings Nov 7th 2013, 17:49, by By Heather McPherson, Food Editor Sriracha Candy Canes will spice up this year's holiday offerings in the candy aisle. The advertising line is: "Because Santa likes it Hot." And the makers encourage revelers to be bad little elves by slipping the fiery treat to "unsuspecting friends (and children) or enjoying after a tasty bento box." Somebody is getting coal in their stocking. But I do like their suggestion to crush the candy canes and served over ice cream or use them as as a spicy-sweet holiday cocktail stirrer.

The Dish - Orlando Sentinel: Scott McKenzie & the Morning Mix recipe of the week: Brown Sugar Grilled Turkey Breast

The Dish - Orlando Sentinel Headlines from Orlando Sentinel

Scott McKenzie & the Morning Mix recipe of the week: Brown Sugar Grilled Turkey Breast Nov 6th 2013, 12:38, by By Heather McPherson, Food Editor The more the merrier in the Orlando Sentinel test kitchen! That’s why we have teamed with the fabulous folks over at Orlando’s WOMX Mix 105.1 to offer the morning show’s Recipe of the Week. Today's recipe is Brown Sugar Grilled Turkey Breast and Pea, Corn & Sweet Onion Salad. A brown sugar rub, spiked with smoky chilies and a kick of dry mustard, imparts gorgeous color and deep flavor to the skin during the slow grilling. Ask the butcher to split the whole turkey breast in half. You can use this same method to grill a whole (unstuffed) 8- to 12-pound turkey. It'll take 2 to 2 1/2 hours to cook. Media files: 16x9
