Citrus Preservation
December 3rd, 2009 · canning, citrus, fermentation, fruit, pickle, preserved
Preserving lemons (and limes) is an easy way to put that extra citrus to use. The fruit ferments in salty brine of its own juice, salt and spices at room temperature for one month. After one month passes the jars can be moved to the fridge to stop the fermentation process. The entire lemon (skin, pith, and flesh) will now be soft & completely edible.
Momofuku Kimchi.

I found some time to dive into the new Momofuku cookbook this week and try out Chang’s kimchi first hand.
This book is full of amazing recipes accompanied by truly wonderful photography. I’m looking forward to an afternoon of homemade ramen and pork buns in the very near future…

Homemade Pizza Amazingness.
August 10th, 2009 · bread, dough, homemade, pizza
The Serious Eats newsletter arrived in my inbox with this intense 2 day Sicilian pie recipe heavily influenced by Dom DeMarco of Di Fara.
I halved the recipe following it pretty much spot on. I was a little worried that the “biga” was too dry and wouldn’t ferment properly. I found it the next morning literally exploding out of the bowl looking more like the “sponges” I’ve worked with in the past.
The 2 day proofing process really pays off in this recipe. The crust it produces is so airy, reminiscent of a soft focaccia bread.
I only wish I put the cheese on 1 minute later to get just a bit more char on the crust.
