Images of food past

Ahoy!




How to Eat (that) the weblog, was created as a follow up to the book How to Eat (that) — a pocket etiquette guide to the cultures and the etiquette at dinner tables around the world. It is yet to be available, but bits of the content can be found on this site under the How to category.

This site is a collaborative effort between myself, Adrianne Dow Young, and my husband Chef Erik Brett Cannella. We cook professionally up and down the west coast. You can read about our other adventures here.
Your comments are encouraged – especially feedback on recipes you tried. Email is welcome.



A WARNING ABOUT THE RECIPES


RARE is it that Erik and I measure ingredients for marinades, sauces and rubs. Spices change and bloom differently and mutate with age, heat, humidity and cooking temperature. If you try one of our recipes we suggest that you taste and create based on what's happening in front of you.

Sweet Potato Deep Freid Wontons

Posted by Adrianne Dow Young in Appetizers for Up to 100 at 16:36
They're are easy to make and they are easy to eat.

It’s a slightly sweet appetizer that works well with beer. They pair fine with white burgundy, white that has a little angsty depth works better than say, a cheerful thing from Alsace . Fried wontons are bar food and sometimes a beer and fried wontons are exactly what the day requires.

You need 1 lb. of roasted sweet potato for 40 wontons.
Three Tbsp of glutenous rice flour.
One scallion, minced
A tbsp of Tabasco
A dash of cinnamon
Salt

Mix together with ardent conviction (you want the glutens to feel alive) and let sit for a day.

Place mixture in a piping bag and pipe two teaspoons of sweet potato into the center of each wonton skin.

Seal (use a beaten egg or water) and pinch tight.

Deep fry and serve with a Red Chili sauce.

lol, "ardent conviction"

These sound really tasty and like great finger food to go with a tall one.

Indeed, they are super good. On more experimenting, however, we found that if you are making over 100 of these, you'll want to stick them in the freezer so that they keep their form before frying.

The round skins work best in that case as they don't have corners that will break.
