Cookout Everything cooked outdoors seems to taste better. Flames + food + friends = fun. Cookout covers outdoor cooking, grilling, alfresco dining and outdoor kitchens. Croutons Vin Fort February 15, 2010 Croutons are one of life's large little pleasures. They make soups and salads sing, but sometimes they step out from the chorus and become stars. Without them, for example, a Caeser salad would be just a bowl of lettuce. The key to croutons is crispness. How crisp? Can you hear everyone around the table crunching quite clearly. That crisp. It's crunch time. Vegetable Stock Vin Fort February 1, 2010 Stock is the basic building block for many good things constructed in the kitchen. Soups, stews and sauces all often rise or fall by their stock. Now there's store bought stuff called 'stock' that comes in cans or cartons, or god forbid cubes and powders. Maybe it's better than nothing but nothing beats freshly homemade stock. Join us in the kitchen as we cook up two types of vegetable stock so good that they're perfectly satisfying just by themselves. Ciambotta Vin Fort January 1, 2010 We did have a cookout just after Christmas, but given weather we're mostly cooking in the warmth of the indoor kitchen these days. And we've been making Ciambotta, the classic all-vegetable stew from southern Italy. Couscous Salad Vin Forte July 1, 2009 Couscous salad is the perfect summer meal for the times when tomatoes are really ripe, cucumbers abundant, mint rampant and the weather hot. It's swift and simple, an entire satisfying meal in itself. Pho Faux Vin Fort June 15, 2009 Pho is the national dish of Vietnam, a soup featuring rich complexly flavored beef stock and rice noodles. Our version is vegetarian using neither of the two canonical ingredients, hence we call it Pho Faux. Pasta Puttanesca Vin Fort May 15, 2009 Prostitutes' Pasta is cheap, fast and easy with a pungent perfume that you can smell coming at you from blocks away. This spaghetti dish with a tarted-up red sauce, sporting a scarlet name, escaped from the brothels of Naples, Italy.     Image ... Chy-chy Loving at Legal Seafoods. Prudential Center, Boston.
