Serving up CSA: Fake Fried Squash and a Book Review!

Isa Chandra Moskowitz has captivated many with her fake fried onion rings (hers are vegan too!), and I’ve adapted her recipe for fake fried squash of the vegetarian persuasion.

Corn Souffle (and a book review!)

These terrible pictures do not do justice to this ridiculously good souffle from Art and Soul of Baking  by Cindy Mushet.

This book covers baking basics, breads, pies, turnovers, dumplings, tarts, fruit, cookies, bars, brownies, cakes, custards, puddings, cheesecakes, souffles, meringues, choux, and–my favorites–basic recipes and baking techniques to help you refine and enlighten your own recipes.

Mushet encourages you to experiment, to modify, and above all, to know.
