Let's Start Simple!

Chicken Wings with Taré and Scallions.

And I thought Chang’s fried chicken with ‘octo vin’ was good. Good god, i was wrong. Well, not wrong, but there is something even better you can do with some nice pieces of chicken, that still have their skin on. David Changs magnificent recipe from his magnificent book (Momofuku) for the oh-so-magnificent chicken wings. He, himself, claims, that this recipe is the worlds longest recipe for chicken wings and that they’re very, very good. I didn’t know how right he was, when i first read those words.

Two days ago I was finally motivated enough to spend a lot of time on some chicken wings. It was all quite spontaneous. I went to the store, got some chicken wings with tips and a lot of lard. In the original recipe he wants you to cold-smoke the chicken wings, but in my tiny kitchen I really don’t have the possibility to do so. So I decided to do it the alternative way with infusing the chicken with smoky bacon flavor while confiting.

5 Twitter Accounts you should definitely follow if you love Food. And Pancakes.

As it is Friday, I thought I’d share a couple of foodie twitter accounts, I really enjoy following. If you post those on twitter they get kind of overlooked, so a blog entry sounds like a more permanent and interesting #FollowFriday thing to me. Also, I can write some words (160 characters max.) to each of them.

Also, you can find a recipe to those delicious pancakes I had for breakfast today after the break. Enjoy!

Asparagus and Smoked Salmon Pasta.

Share |

As you might have already noticed I’ve been cooking a lot of pasta recently. I don’t really know why, but I kind of felt like I didn’t enough the past months, so I have to catch up a little bit.

I’m still kind of ill, it’s just a cold, but it kind of keeps me from doing big work in the kitchen. So I’m happy about easy dishes, that I can just throw together in a couple of minutes and still have something my suffering body can enjoy in this total agony of cough and snuff. I’m just kidding, but I really need nice food to feel better.
