Last week I had guests—my mom and aunt—in town and, inevitably, one of their requested destinations was The Mall of America.  If you love malls, it is the place to be, with hundreds of shops and restaurants and plenty of people watching.  We were lucky enough to catch a special event that was happening in the mall: a cooking demonstration by the Deen Brothers, Jamie and Bobby....

Burrata cheese is a fresh Italian cheese filled with cream and pieces of mozzarella. When you cut it, the cream oozes out. I accidently poked one of the balls when I removed it from the package and so you can see some of the cream oozing out onto the plate. The balls are closed at the top with plastic twine. I purchased two balls of burrata in this plastic tub. The cheese balls were covered with water, and had to be drained before serving.  According to ...

When I was a kid, my mom used the deep fryer to make dinner, ahem, well, quite often.  A treat that we would sometimes see along with our chicken nuggets and crinkle cut fries was something my mom called kugala frits.  I have no idea how to spell it, and after lots of exhaustive research, have never come up with an actual recipe for it.  My mom doesn’t even remember where it came from.  Basically, kugala frits are chunks of cheddar cheese wrapped in bread dough and fried.  The closest cousin I’ve found for them is an Italian dish called Panzerotti, which is a fried cheese filled pastry.  Kugala frits are easy to make with basic ingredients (mom al...

Even though Hanukkah begins at sundown on Friday, I have already received an especially apropos Hanukkah gift, a deep fryer.  Hanukkah is an eight day festival that commemorates the rededication of the temple in Jerusalem after the victory of the Maccabees over the Greeks While most people associate Hanukkah with oil, as the small bit of oil found in the temple burned for eight nights, another food connected with the festival is cheese. As the story goes, Ju...

It’s not unusual for Heidi and I to blog about the same topic (see her previous blog about making cheese) but we usually do it in a very different way. Here's mine on cheese. Cheese trays are really one of the quickest appetizers you can make and they cost much less if you make them yourself. Last week, my coworker, Jann and I made a couple of large cheese trays for a retirement paraty. We put six different cheeses on two  slate trays from Crate and Barrel and then added s...

Are you sitting down? I want to make sure you’re ready for this. I made cheese on Monday night. Or, rather, AC and I made cheese on Monday night. The recipe is called 30-Minute Mozzarella. One of AC's many cookbooks is Home Cheese Making and that’s where she found the recipe. You can find it here. Fir...

  These cheeses are the "big stars" in their categories. They are meant to be eaten with a knife and fork, not to be used for cooking. Each one was delicious in a very different way from the other. I wish I could tell you about each one but I don't have the space here. I recommend you check them out for yourself by purchasing them at your local che...

Cheese is my favorite food. That's the answer I always give when anyone asks the question of, "If I had to choose only one food, what would it be"? I love all cheeses: the soft ones and hard ones, the mild and stronger flavored ones and the orange colored ones and the blue ones.  Recently, I made a visit to a small store in St. Paul called the ...
