Jonathan Gold quiz: Food in the movies Feb 22nd 2013, 01:38 Getting caught up in the drama and romance of a movie plot is no reason to ignore the food onscreen. What food was used in that food fight?

Rasa Malaysia: Easy Asian Recipes: 137 Pillars House, Chiang Mai

Rasa Malaysia: Easy Asian Recipes Asian recipes site for home cooks who love Asian cooking. Easy and authentic Asian recipes with gorgeous food photography.

137 Pillars House, Chiang Mai Feb 21st 2013, 09:05 My Thai Sojourn in December 2012 with Baby G began in Bangkok, the heart of Thailand. From there, we tracked the fragrance of the "Rose of the North," landed ourselves in Chiang Mai, the fifth largest city of Thailand that bears great historical and cultural significance. And my quest during my stay in Chiang Mai was to explore and understand as much as I could its heritage, culture and history. For that, I chose to stay in 137 Pillars House, a luxury boutique hotel with a rich and unique historical past. A quick search on 137 Pillars House will tell you that it was originally a large teak wood house built in 1889 as part of the East Borneo Company headquarters, restored to recreate its former glory and to perpetuate its fabled history. Besides its intricate past, 137 Pillars House totally captures my fascination with smaller, hence exclusive hotels that offer greater intimacy and privacy. In its 30 carefully designed suites that capture the old world charm and elegance of the Orient in their own distinctive ways, the guests get to re-live the elegance of the past in the comfort of the present. The beautiful airy garden, bamboo tree-lined pathways, decks, ponds, and century-old...

Rasa Malaysia: Easy Asian Recipes: Devil’s Curry

Rasa Malaysia: Easy Asian Recipes Asian recipes site for home cooks who love Asian cooking. Easy and authentic Asian recipes with gorgeous food photography.

Devil's Curry Feb 18th 2013, 09:52 For the month of February, I am working with Malaysia Kitchen NYC for a special feature of Malaysian recipes on Rasa Malaysia. Earlier this month, I have shared my nasi ulam, or Malaysia mixed herb rice recipe with you. I have received a few emails from the readers that they have successful attempted the nasi ulam recipe at home with great success. I am very pleased that many of my readers get a taste of Malaysian cuisine through the Malaysian recipes I share on this website. And from the cooking and preparation, you are exposed to the spices used in Malaysian cooking, and you might consider dining out at a Malaysian restaurant near you, and eventually plan a trip to visit Malaysia. Such are the goals of the Malaysia Kitchen program—to evangelize and promote Malaysia through its colorful cuisines and its many quality products (food and non-food) to the world. Today, I am sharing another classic Malaysian recipe with you, a curry dish named Devil’s Curry, popular in the state of Malacca, Malaysia. In the 15th century, Malacca was the most important trading port in Southeast Asia and the Sultanate of Malacca was a powerful empire. However, in 1511, the Portuguese conquered...

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: The California Cook: Easier polenta, inspired weekends

L.A. Times - Food & Dining Headlines from latimes.com

The California Cook: Easier polenta, inspired weekends Feb 16th 2013, 00:00 In most cases, I'm a terribly traditional cook. If there is a longer, slower, more manual way to do something, almost invariably I will prefer it. But even I push tradition aside when I find an alternative that is not only easier but also tastes as good or better. Media files: 16x9

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: Counter Intelligence: Hostaria del Piccolo lives the fantasy — almost — in Venice

L.A. Times - Food & Dining Headlines from latimes.com

Counter Intelligence: Hostaria del Piccolo lives the fantasy — almost — in Venice Feb 16th 2013, 00:00 The atmosphere is dreamy, and when this Italian restaurant gets things right (the costicine ), it gets them very right. But consistency is an issue. California rarely feels more like California than it does from a window seat at the new Hostaria del Piccolo in Venice, where life's great pageant rolls by. Graying tax attorneys cruise by on Rollerblades, women toss yoga mats into the back of their Porsches and handsome young families roll by on their bicycles as serenely as if they were ducks. As you regard the glass of wine in front of you, you may contemplate a Westside drinking game, doing shots of on-tap Merlot every time you spot a dude with interesting facial hair, a knit cap, tie-dye and a skateboard; hear a distant drum circle; or smell a clove cigarette.

L.A. Times - Food & Dining: Farmers markets: Kosher dishes

L.A. Times - Food & Dining Headlines from latimes.com

Farmers markets: Kosher dishes Feb 16th 2013, 00:00 Michelle Grant, co-founder of the Grilled Cheese Truck, moves on to pareve prepared food. The prepared food vendors at local farmers markets cater to a world of tastes and ethnicities, from Filipino balut to halal shawarma , but until recently none served observant Jews who follow kosher dietary laws. It fell to a secular Jew, Michele Grant, fresh off the success of her Grilled Cheese Truck, to fill that niche, offering a flavorful, healthy twist on traditional kosher cooking, strictly supervised by the Rabbinical Council of California .
