The California Cook: Spiced pork terrine is an easy step into homemade charcuterie, and rillettes and terrines are great to have on hand when holiday guests drop by.

Making charcuterie is all the rage among restaurant chefs, but with the exception of a few hardy adventurers, the urge to cure hams and sausages hasn't yet quite caught on with home cooks.

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: Three restaurants in the L.A. area take smoke to seductive heights

thumbnail Three restaurants in the L.A. area take smoke to seductive heights

Critic's Choice: Smoke is a versatile tool for the savvy chef. Three Los Angeles-area restaurants that use it well: Hinoki & the Bird, Barney Greengrass and Horse Thief BBQ.

After eating at Asador Etxebarri, the extraordinary grill restaurant in the Spanish Basque country, last month, where chef-owner Victor Arguinzoniz works such magic cooking over charcoal that he makes himself, smoke is on my mind. I kept thinking about the different ways it can be used. It can be subtle or overpowering — or barely kissed with smoke, the way some of Arguinzoniz's dishes are. But it can also penetrate deep into a cut of beef, or illuminate the taste and texture of a fish.

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: Jonathan Gold | L.A. restaurant review: Purist omakase sushi at Zo

Nov 9th 2013, 08:00, by By Jonathan Gold

Keizo Seki's downtown Zo serves one meal: the $145 omakase menu. His sushi is traditional but distinct, with admirable integrity.

We have talked before about the gentrification of deep downtown, the colorful area familiar from dystopian novels and Tom Waits lyrics that has become the most reliable destination in town for bespoke cocktails, vintage party dresses and monogrammed dog bowls. And among the incongruous and wonderful things to have opened near the newly scrubbed corner of 4th and Main, that former nexus of flophouses and all-night porn theaters, none may stick out more than Zo, the new downtown sister to the Westside's Sushi Zo, which serves $145 omakase tasting menus in a neighborhood that has not completely shrugged off its aura of loosies and cheap wine.

Culinary SOS: Miami Beach's Icebox Cafe makes extraordinary pancakes that are time-consuming but worth the wait. Serve with whipped cream cheese.

Dear SOS: My cousins and I have just returned from a wonderful week in Miami Beach. The best part was having the lemon ricotta pancakes with cream cheese at the Icebox Cafe. They were heavenly! I would love to have the recipe.

Sriracha seems to be everywhere. And if you live in certain parts of the city of Irwindale, where the Huy Fong Foods chile plant is located, you may smell it in the air. The red chile sauce is a condiment at Subway, on the menu at some of L.A.'s hottest restaurants, had an entire festival devoted to it, and now, it's in your Christmas candy.

The FDA announcement Thursday that it was moving to eliminate added trans fat  from processed food means that microwave popcorn, frozen pizza, refrigerated dough, cookies and ready-to-use frostings are too much of a health risk. Yes, even that coffee creamer is trying to kill you.

In the late '80s, when Lee Jones and his family were in the throes of reinventing their Ohio farm after losing everything to a hailstorm and high interest rates, they fortuitously made the acquaintance of Charlie Trotter, who had just opened his restaurant in Chicago five hours away.

Teochew Steamed Fish
Nov 6th 2013, 18:50, by Rasa Malaysia

One of the reason why Malaysian food is so interesting is because of the diverse racial composition of different ethnic groups: the Malays (native), Chinese (mostly came from southern China), and Indian (mostly from southern Indian). For Chinese food alone, in Malaysia, we get to sample various regional Chinese cuisines: Fujian, Cantonese, Teochew, Hakka, Fuchow, etc. There are always something different to please the palate every day. Teochew food is quite popular in Malaysia because there are many of them in the Chinese community. In Penang, there are a few traditional Teochew restaurants and one of the dishes I love the most is Teochew Steamed Fish. Unlike Cantonese-style steamed fish, which is basically a very simple dish of fish with soy sauce, Teochew Steamed Fish really takes  it to the next level. The dish is sour, (from the sour plum, tomato, and preserved mustard), savory,...

Pan Mee (Hakka Flat Noodle Soup/板面)
Nov 4th 2013, 05:44, by Rasa Malaysia

Pan Mee is a popular Hakka noodle dish in Malaysia, especially in central and southern part of Malaysia where most Hakka people reside. Hakka Pan Mee is made with a simple flour-based dough, with anchovy broth, and topped with crispy fried anchovies, ground pork, shiitake mushrooms, and some vegetables. Pan Mee is also known as Mee Hoon Kuih (面粉糕), which is commonly prepared at home. I will be honest, before I develop this Pan Mee recipe here, I have had Pan Mee once. Yes, once, some twenty years ago while I was visiting Kuala Lumpur. While I was growing up in Penang, Pan Mee was never sold in the hawker centers or street food stalls,  so it has never been in my culinary dictionary. Anyway, what prompted me to develop a recipe for Pan Mee? Well, it all started with a HUGE bunch of mani cai (马尼菜), or cekur manis/sayur manis in Malay. Mani cai, my favorite vegetable and a key ingredient...

Master Class: As good as raw oysters and clams are, properly cooked shellfish has a stronger flavor worth enjoying. Here are some tips for cooking both kinds of shellfish.

A pristine oyster on the half shell, unadorned, fresh, cold and briny, is a near-perfect thing. A properly shucked littleneck clam, alone, or with a drop or two of lemon and Tabasco, will make you say mmmm, every time.
