How To Eat (that)

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.

How to Make Fear

Posted by Adrianne Dow Young in Things that went awry at 16:35
Things that went awry
Hot sauce. Part two.

The recipe:
30 habaneros
6 green tomatoes (rough chop)
½ onion (chopped)
1 ½ cup cider vinegar
1 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper

Sautée onion and green tomatoes with salt and black pepper.

In the food processor, add habaneros and turn the puppy on.

Add sautéed onions and tomatoes (still hot).

Add vinegar.

RUN.

The sautéed onion and tomatoes will heat the vinegar and create a capsicum acid steam that will fill the room and make you flee.

When steam has cleared, mix ingredients. Strain the mixture in a fine mesh strainer. Pour liquid into bottles. Be sure to do this (much to the future bafflement of your mate) on the oven. Place the lid to the food processor on the stovetop as well.

Then, because you want to be super smart, clean up using a sponge. Be sure not to wear gloves.

Later, cook dinner. The heat from the stove will release capsicum into the air, making your mate cough and leave the room bewildered.

DO NOT engage in amorous or even affectionate activities for 12-24 hours after making this sauce.
