THE "21 CLUB"

this week on CBS THIS MORNING SATURDAY the new chef from the 21 CLUB . ..CHEF SYLVAIN DELPIQUE......brought his new take on the old standards at the 21 CLUB IN NYC.... http://www.dartagnan.com was amazing and hooked me up with the most  delicious duck breast... my local market carries them but if yours does not just pop on their website and you can order them there....and the quality is always the best ..... forgive my photos ( I am the worst but I try)  ....and of course the cooper pan was full of lobster mashed potatoes au gratin .... the cheese cake .....more like a tart and with the most amazing lemon flavor .... just the right amount of sweet and the recipe should work just fine for all skill levels just make sure all ingredients are at room temperature ....that way they combine and no lumps, air pockets or cracks... and allow it to cool at room temperature for about and hour before you refrigerate.... 

 

PIKES MARKET AND SEATTLE

now I know where to get GREEN EGGS AND HAM... had the pleasure of a few days off and went to Seattle.... Pike's Market is not to be missed and should be a destination for everyone.. if you get the chance to go make it in the morning... beautiful displays and the later in the day the more crowded it gets....PS wish I had those beautiful cherries for my job this week..... .

CBS THE DISH- JAMES BEARD AWARD

 

each week I work with some of the best chefs this country has to offer and the interviews are interesting ...  getting to know things about our chefs and the road they took to get where they are... for a food stylist it is sometimes exciting to see what they will pick out as their favorite "DISH" and to bring it to the world on TV....this show I have the pleasure of working on each week won

Nduja from Calabria and Montclair NJ

this week I had need for NDUJA . an Italian meat spread from Calabria....
it was in a recipe for http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ed-cotton-brings-linguine-and-clams-to-the-dish/ 

and as always finding some of ingredients can be an adventure... some days the adventures are a true joy and this week was that  ...... I got to meet Rosario .... he owns a shop in Montclair New Jersey ....It was like traveling to Calabria for the small price of a quarter in a parking meter in New Jersey.... such amazing flavor when he gave me a slice of bread and his store made  Nduja.... it was just the right spicy and wonderful...

it is a good day when you learn something new and meet someone so interesting...if you are every in Montclair you must check out his shop http://www.rosariosbutchershop.com/  ... it was so much fun watching him pick out the best nduja for my project .....testing each one until he found the perfect one just for me ... he was so proud of his Nduja and rightfully so ...  and yes I am a bad photographer
