Finished the last pre-Thanksgiving class at noon yesterday, so I had time for a little fusion experiment. Cappelloni filled with a Georgian-style walnut/mushroom pate and tossed in a yogurt (homemade) and dill (homegrown) sauce. Extremely good.

Zeppole for guests last weekend, then repurposed the leftover ricotta/chocolate chip filling last night for tartlets (with a little leftover walnut praline on top).

La Boca Is All Smoke, No Fire
The Argentinean chef Francis Mallmann is notorious for his love of cooking over open flames. With his New York début, he fizzles out.

New episode!! 🎙️🎉
A conversation w/ @erinhecht.bsky.social about the diversity and evolution of canine brains.
We've lived and worked with dogs for 15,000+ years, sculpting their brains and bodies along the way. What can we learn from their singular story?

Michelin 2025. These are the ones I've walked to from our house. Apparently we live in a bargain neighborhood. (I still think Fabrik would have a star if they weren't slightlly over-correcting in favor of more "local" cusines.)

This gives me a similar feeling to reading about Native American chefs talking about fry bread. I'm not really sure how to react to debates that I probably shouldn't get a vote on.

Finnish dallaspulla. In American terms, kind of a cross between a cinnamon roll and a cheese danish . The extra sugar on the right isn't traditional, but it's replacing some that I forgot to include at the rolling stage (and it fact it was unnecessary). [On-line class by @wilreidie.bsky.social ]

Here is a thread of all my posts from my Cooking Round the World Challenge so far, collected in one place. I'll add to this thread with each new country/dish.
My first home-cooked meal at my new place is the first of my Cooking ‘Round the World challenge, where I try cooking a dish from every country in the world in alphabetical order.
Country #1 is AFGHANISTAN 🇦🇫. I made its national dish called Kabuli Pulao.

We (with @joshcjackson.bsky.social) suggest that complex technologies, as they need several (often many) people to use them, require innovations that distribute cognition to help regulate cognitive load and coordinate.

A little Afghani food from Labor Day. My herb-filled breads and kofta made from a purée of vegetables and (in our case fake) meat. Lisa’s eggplant and mushroom curries. Not shown: yogurt sauce.
