Please welcome guest author, the inimitable David Leite of Leite's Culinaria. Looking for a good side for Christmas dinner? David shares one of his favorite recipes from his fabulous new cookbook, The New Portuguese Table ~Elise I know within two bites if a holiday side dish is truly spectacular. Because I'll have a nearly uncontrollable urge to elbow the turkey or ham off the table, pull the bowl to me, dunk my face in, and not come up for air until I'm finished. Growing up, the object of my lust was my grandmother's recheio com chouriço—a kicky bread stuffing studded with piquant chunks of my aunt's homemade sausage; it was one of the few Portuguese dishes I would eat. Fending off cousins on both sides of my twisted family tree (there were so many of us we could've started our own touring Christmas chorale) wasn't easy. But I did it, and I have the pictures of me as a corpulent fourth-grader with a self-satisfied grin to prove it. Continue reading "Sautéed Chestnuts, Onions, and Bacon" »
Menu for Hope 2009
Every year for the last five years food bloggers from around the world have rallied their efforts to raise money for a worthy cause in the Menu for Hope raffle fundraising campaign. To date we have raised over $250,000 to benefit the UN World Food Programme. This year the proceeds will again benefit the WFP, this time earmarked for Purchase for Progress, a program that helps smallholder and low-income farmers supply food to WFP's global operations, improving farming practices and putting more cash into their pockets. For Menu for Hope, food bloggers offer a variety of mostly food-related items for the online raffle. Every US$10 you donate earns you one "ticket" to bid on an item of your choice. At the end of the campaign, the winning tickets are drawn and results are announced on Chez Pim on Monday, January 18, 2010. A full list of bid items is listed at Chez Pim and the U.S. West Coast regional prizes are listed at Gluten-free Girl. For this year's Menu for Hope, Foodzie has put together a fantastic gift box of artisan food products. (Thank you Foodzie!) If you aren't familiar with Foodzie, it is an online marketplace where you can discover and buy specialty food items directly from small, passionate food producers and growers. Sort of like Etsy, but for food. Earlier this year I got to spend some time with Emily Olson, one of the founders of Foodzie, and was struck by her passion for supporting small businesses and artisanal food providers, and making what they make available to all.

Grilled Oysters
One of my favorite ways to eat oysters (especially those strongly flavored big ones) is grilled. Guest author Jaden shares a personal lesson from the Shuckmeister on how to do it. Enjoy! ~Elise Even though I live all the way on the other side of the country, I think I see Elise more often than I see some of my neighbors. Just this year alone, we've been to Seattle, Chicago, Bahamas and twice to San Francisco! Since I talk in my sleep and Elise sings in her sleep, we make excellent traveling companions. I just feel sorry for any hotel guests who share adjoining walls with us! On our last trip to San Francisco, we participated in the Foodbuzz Festival. The first night was sort of like a street food party, where the best of the best San Francisco street food carts came and camped out right in front of the Ferry Building. About 200 hungry hungry hippos (i.e. food bloggers) came to enjoy the pulled pork sandwiches, thin-crusted pizzas, local beers and oysters. Oh oysters galore! Hog Island Oyster Company brought hundreds of Kumamoto Oysters and Small Sweetwater Oysters! Their "shuckmeister" shucked and served...Elise and I slurped and swooned.
