I would like to thank Deborah Miller and Jay White, my colleagues and hosts of SideDish, for interviewing me on SideDish. If you haven't heard it, you should run over to WCHL website and click on the "click here to listen" link. I am very flattered by the opportunity to talk about doing what I love.During the interview Jay quizzed me on my blog and the desire to write down my thoughts about food.

The past year has been pretty busy for me. I started working at A Southern Season and commuting between Raleigh and Chapel Hill. I work in the Deli at A Southern Season, something I knew little about when I started. Now I purchas a variety of unusual and interesting charcuterie for A Southern Season. Pretty exciting.To get to that point I had to learn a lot about meat in a very short time. So

I have been really busy lately. I haven't had much time to post over the past few weeks, but I have plenty of blog-fodder since I recently did my big Easter Lamb-Fest.I recently made some choices that should free up some of my time. Having all of my friends over to be fed was a big part of that decision. That's what life, for me, is really all about. That means even more posts.I'm having so much

I have recently been part of a creative discussion of the Cubano or Cuban sandwich. This is one of my favorite sandwiches in the world and is right up there next to the Banh Mi (Vietnamese sub) and really good falafel sandwiches.The essential description of a Cubano includes a hoagie type roll (ideally Cuban bread - with a thin, buttery crust. Thanks D), cut in half and smeared with mayonnaise

Italian bread. Kind of like a squashed batard (wider than a baguette). Can't be that hard, right?Wrong.The traditional Ciabatta is made with a biga (a kind of sour-dough culture that you start the night before) and contains much more water than you might be used to in your bread making (unless you've been making baguettes). Overall, it seemed like the kind of challenge that I enjoy.A few notes

I love curry. Whether it's one of the many Indian curries or a creamy, spicy Thai curry, I have yet to find one that I don't like. Maybe it's the variety of dishes that shelter under the name in common Western usage. Maybe it's the spicy, intense flavors that meld together in a murky sauce and turn even the most common ingredients into a dish fit for kings. Maybe I just like them because it's

I wonder how Google's filters will deal with that. I guess I'll find out if my blog gets yanked. Let me know if it mysteriously disappears, okay?I really am an amateur when it comes to photography, so this is the best I can do until I can afford a camera that's a little easier to deal with (my current rig is an Olympus C-4000 and it has served me well, no doubt).With that up front, here they are:

Every once in a while, I run across a dish that really grabs my attention and my palate. I'll get a little obsessive about it and do lots of research while trying to figure out how to make it.One such dish is a Thai salad known mysteriously as "Crying Tiger" or "Tiger's tears".I first tried it at a restaurant called "Rearn Thai" in Greensboro, NC. It's a long-established restaurant that most

Alright! My first "Request" post! I announced my blog at 10pm on Facebook yesterday. I got my first request for "gluten free flat bread recipes" less than 5 minutes later and my second less than an hour after that. Who am I to deny my adoring public?This is about Gram Flour, I'm still researching other avenues. If anyone else has any requests, I'll try to work 'em in.-------------------Mmmmm.

Hi,Welcome to my new blog. Let me tell you a little about me and why I've decided to start this blog entitled "hunger. cook. eat."I love to read.That's the hunger part. I was in the wine industry (both retail and wholesale) for 14 years. I loved it and I hated it, but my interest in wine grew up with my interest in food. I spent a lot of time reading and researching wine. There is some exciting
