...or more specifically Mark Bittman's Hainan chicken.One of the first jobs I ever had was in the kitchen at Hunan Gourmet on Long Island. The job lasted a few long hours and after my shift was through so was I. I was a dishwasher. I got yelled at repeatedly, but so did the guys who were not as slow as molasses like me. "Fuck you fuck clean dish fucking fuck...aaaAAAAAAAAASSSSSSHHHHOOOLLLEEE...

I know I know. I fell off the map here for a week or two. It happens. In this post I'm just going to recap the last few dishes.Not in any order...I recently found Spanish Recipes after searching around for some reference for preparing snails other than drowning them in garlic and butter. I don't think I followed a recipe, but I allowed my subconscious to pick up on some ingredients. I do this

It's been a while since I've used the mortar and pestle. I've been thinking about Spain quite a lot lately. I'm craving contrast to my current environment. Maybe it's the rain. Maybe it's my personality. Perhaps it's because I'm a Gemini. Whatever.Above I'm slow roasting potatoes in the pan with some onions and garlic. I like em this way because they come out nice and meaty. The pan it slightly

The above is a bowl filled with cucumbers, red pepper fruit and onions. They're bathing in salt, lime and vinegar, preparing for their marriage with baby shrimp, elbow pasta and fresh tomatoes. Talk about bigamy. Sheesh!The shrimp is seen here with tomatoes and some homemade mayonnaise awaiting the dowry from the little elbows.Ahhh....the glass breaks and we can all say mazel tov!

This is a no-brainer. I made the typical combination of rice wine vinegar, soya, sugar, fish sauce onions, cucumbers and garlic. Stir fried the rice with the sauce and threw in an egg. Some chunks of pork and we good to go, yo.Minimal month will come to a halt soon. Then our asses are gonna get spicy and crazy again. Speaking of crazy I composed a horrific jingle for the Heady Pepper that sounds

I woke up one morning and saw some fruit that was just about past it's peak - some plums, pears, and apples. I decided to make a jam. I threw the fruit into a pot with about a cup of sugar, water, a pinch of nutmeg and a dash of cinnamon. I brought it to a boil and let it simmer for an hour or two until it looked like...Delicious and no preservatives!And I enjoyed one of my favorite meals.

In keeping with the theme of the last few weeks, this proved to break through the ever tightening challenge of using what remains in the cabinets.Here we have some ground pork from the freezer, the rest of a bag of penne and a Spanish style tortilla made with carrots instead of potatoes. Crazy I know. Everything cooked separately and then baked a bit in the oven and held together with a home made

The Heady Pepper needs a jingle! Do you have musical talent and/or just love to futz around with cool programs like Garage Band or even Soundtrack Pro? Audacity or Wavepad? Feel like composing a jingle for the Heady Pepper? How fun would THAT be?The jingle should be fun, silly and a little porn. Lots of pops and bubbles with a bit of sizzle. I'm thinking Esquivil meets Brigitte Bardot.The prize

Sort of Shepherd's Pie. I've heard of lamb, goat or beef or ox in this. I used ground pork. See, my mother in law was kind enough to deliver a few packages of the minced swine to us so we are grateful. Nothing to really explain here and nothing elaborate. Ground pork with root vegetables, peas and a mashed potato topping with sprinkled millet flakes. Yes i still have not used up the bag of millet

You know...I discovered Mark Bittman some time after I began the Heady Pepper. I guess I can say that if Bittman were an art movement I would be a Bittmanian. I found that he, like me, does not claim to be a professional cook, but is a passionate home cook. He writes about food (far better than I ever can) and his videos are entertaining and simple. I will always refer to him as he has both

OK I think the epiphany has not arrived, but instead a sort of a groove. The level of creativity is growing and....WAIT!!!! DING DING DING!!!! EPIPHANY!!!!Whew! First groove then epiphany. This tuna potato salad might not sound so appetizing to some foodies with gourmet tastes, but it's leading to something. It's the wax on wax off or paint the fence meal. One of them.

Is this deja vu? I'm rather disorganized and I'm quite sure I've posted something similar before, but this is minimal month and, as this is one of the more exciting dishes of this period I'm proud to be redundant. And I did mention that during this time of budget cooking there will be repetition.We seem to be eating a lot of chicken. There's a reason why chickens make the sound: cheap, cheap! OK

Fresh ripe tomatoes from the gardenIn this second week of tight budget shopping I'm getting bored and anxious. I want to go to the store and get high just choosing ingredients on a whim. But this month is anti-whim. Or is it. Or isn't it. Is it completely non whimsical to use what you have around in the cabinets and fridge? To pick what's growing in the garden? After a couple of weeks of

To many of you who might be reading this - the title does not indicate any kind of mad Dane. Mad, which is pronounced ... oh jesus. OK I cannot begin to phonetically spell how this would be pronounced. Try MEL as in Mel Torme, but swallow the L, which most Danes will tell you really sounds like a soft D. Nothing to do with an English D. It really sounds like an unfinished L that's being swallowed

What better minimalist recipe is there than chapatis. And the Minimalist himself- Mark Bittman is here to show us how he does it on the grill. I always love his videos.I used graham flour instead of straight wheat flour, but they were yummy just the same. Here's my unconventional twist though. I enjoyed mine with soft-boiled egg, salami, cheese and ketchup! The Heady Pepper can be trashy if he

This is actually the 3rd dinner in the minimal month experiment. We did some food shopping to replenish staples and chose a small variety of items to stretch at least until the end of august.Wasabi chicken meatballs rolled in millet flakes and baked in the oven. Lamian noodles and a similar sauce from the other day. Soy sauce, honey, cucumbers, onions, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce and lime juice

This is a perfect opportunity to get to the basic idea of what the Heady Pepper was originally about - improvisation. Only these coming weeks there is the element of necessity. We're on a shoe string budget at the moment. Summer vacation, private school tuition and whatever other circumstances have led to us tightening our belts. But we can still be inventive with what we have. So here's the

Where have I been? On Summer vacation. Where else? It's been a busy time. I've been eating other people's food and taking a break for the most part from this computer. Why don't I begin with my most recent favorite dish - ox tails in coconut milk! Of course I've been cooking some enjoyable dishes, but I want to backtrack a bit seeing as I've been absent for a while.I love gamy meats as you

I've never been able to measure. One of the reasons I had a hard time with design school was because of my lack of meticulous detail when it came to paste-ups and mechanicals. For those of you in the 20 something age bracket, that's what we did back when I went to design school. There was barely an Internet and certainly not related to graphic design back in the day. I had an easier time eye

I made something called cassoulet a few months ago, which really wasn't casoulet because cassoulet is called cassoulet for the pot it's cooked in, which happens to be called a cassole. I don't have one. I'll call it a stew. How's that?Today I made a "stew", which I'm tempted to call Dark Horse Cassoulet, but I'll call it Dark Horse Stew.

In the end it came out like a thin, sweet mole sauce. This is an example of what this show is all about. Throwing something together based on available ingredients and a whimsical palate. This dish was born based on the idea of browning and braising not too far from the Copenhagen ribs.I'm absolutely in love with this dish. I love simple, quick dishes that take no time at all, but I really do

Well hello! Fancy meeting you here. Come on in...I have something I think you might like. It's pizza topped with pheasant tomato sauce, bufala and fresh basil. Oh...and sliced, tender pheasant. Here's a little briefing on what the hell I did to get here. The hardest part was the hunting for pheasant. It took a trip on my bicycle, unarmed to enter the supermarket and find a package of pheasant

This guerrilla cooking video was shot in a tight kitchen with a race against the clock and a build up of guests battling the focus of someone who has trouble chewing ribs and boiling potatoes at the same time. Some of the details are left out and the end is a Blair Witch style blur in the dark followed by a middle of the night omelet and a few jolly beer drinkers.Thanks to all of you who made my

Come and get it! VAMANOS! Keep in mind that the tortilla did indeed go back on the stove for a couple of more minutes after being turned over. Doesn't appear in the video. Blame it on amateur editing. I should fire the guy. But then who would appear in the next video? Maybe I should find a replacement. And holy shit I look like I've gained a bit of weight in this video, but I haven't. Too close

Although I said I was fending off red meat and swine, not to mention gluten products, corn products, etc. I have made a deal with myself not to eliminate things, but to tone them down.

Hi all. This is a photo montage with video incorporated. Many steps to this feast, which I didn't bother to record every step on every dish. It's basically just a visual journey through my culinary experience. OK, it's just laziness and really not wanting to share ALL of my secrets. OK, would you believe that I just don't like writing step by step instructions for each dish? Sorry. Sorry Nezha,

Is what we say in Denmark instead of cheers. I use the two "A"s when in actuality one "a" with a little circle on top is the real letter, which might not translate universally on screen. The 2 "A"s make the same sound though, which goes something like "aw" said really fast. But who cares. We're here for the booze. Specifically the schnapps.

Ok I'm in no way Christian, but if I had to guess - the food that Joseph and Mary ate around the birth of their son was not a giant ham. I would also guess that they were not giving little kosher Jeshuah glasses of milk with his steak, nor were they feeding him cream potatoes. OK, perhaps no steak? I'm sure they weren't feeding him yellow rice either. Based on absolutely nothing, but what I've

During this experiment of deprivation I discover - at a time that could not be more convenient - that I am perhaps not lactose intolerant.

Here's one take I have on huevos rancheros. Rice and beans with a habenero salsa and nice guacamole with garlic, red onion, jalapeno, lime, cilantro and salt. Oh my fucking god, one of my favorite dishes on the planet. I used to call in late for work and say, "I'll be working from home this morning" just to go to Cafe Havana on Prince and Elizabeth to get some espresso and huevos rancheros. The

It's been one week since I've shunned gluten, staved off milk products, corn products and several weeks since I've quit red meat and SWINE! I have to put emphasis on SVINE and spit on the floor three times. Kidding.All is going well. Much easier than I anticipated, but I wonder how the hell I would do this if I wasn't willing or able to cook the food that I eat. My wife is certainly not on board

Part of a scene from Hannah and Her Sisters in which the Woody Allen character, Mickey has just seen a priest in search of meaning beyond this life. He is just entering his apartment...With the hymn still playing, the screen goes black briefly.Mickey opens the door, the light from a hallway illuminatinghim. He's just entered his apartment.

Know what this is? I didn't either because the bag read, "Boghvedegryn". I made a guess that it was something called buckwheat, which I wasn't sure if I'd ever tried before. Turns out I have tried this. Kahsa! The little kernel thingies in kasha varnishkas (buckwheat with bowtie pasta) or the stuffing in kasha knishes. Why did I pick a bag of this not knowing what it was? Because on the back

Here it is. Probably the first in a very long time - Hanukkah party - here in SW Jutland. The menu consisted of1. The beautifully simple, yet deliciously surprising potato latkes. I mean surprising to me as I let the shredded potatoes sit over night not realizing they would oxidize into a reddish black color. I wasn't sure what would happen, but I think I discovered a new kind of natural dye for

Hi all. It's Hanukkah this evening at sundown. Fire up those menorahs and enjoy potato latkes, blintzes and other fried, yummy Hanukkah things to eat. This video is being re-posted from a year ago. It's the second food video I've ever made and the production value is a little less than what it is now...*cough*. In any event, enjoy all the love and glory of these latkes that (pardon me for

So I'm experimenting with cutting out red meat and swine. I'm not going out of my way either to consume animal products. I don't want to label myself anything at this point, but I would like to try this indefinitely. I hope it's not a killjoy to those of you who really appreciate a good steak, pork loin, side of bacon, filet mingon, juicy burger with blue cheese and red onion...OH GOD I'm not

Hey folks! I'm back with a new video. The pesto here is my own and I call it pesto because that's just what I want to call it. Don't expect this pasta to be smothered and drenched in a giant, green, oily mob of sludgy pesto. This is light. Enough fresh basil to taste, plenty of garlic and - SPICY just like I like it. Almonds instead of pine nuts because...well....just don't have any pine nuts.

Different! Very different! Night and day. A whole other animal. What am I talking about? Meals, lifestyle, hair, clothing, birthdays - from how I grew up until now. Generationally (if that's a word) speaking it makes sense. That's what happens, but these differences play so vividly in my memory from childhood to now that I wonder what planet I came from and what planet my daughters will

Pizza. Oh yes pizza. From Violetta's and Joey's on Long Island - two of my favorite pizza joints as a child - to Joe's on Carmine Street, THE Famous Ray's, Golden Pizza ... then Two Boots. Of course my favorite village pizza as a child was John's pizza where my uncle used to take me.

At one point my almost two year old had round cheeks filled with all the little bites of this shark I cut for her. She loved it. Porbeagle shark, cubed and cooked in a shallow broth of water, olive oil, lime, salt, red onions, garlic and thinly sliced parsnips. Yes I'm really into these parsnips nowadays.Served with yellow rice and a tomato, habenero salsa, avocado and basil.When I was a kid I

My 4 year old daughter chose hot dogs yesterday in the supermarket. While it's not always my first choice, family is a democracy (well within reason) and it's nice that she gets to practice the art of choice once in a while and feel accomplished at it. So we got these chicken dogs.As a four year old I had more of a penchant for burgers than franks, but to each her own. Actually I had a penchant

Try this on-the-go dish when you've got a busy schedule or just too damn lazy to get involved in chopping and fussing. If you watch carefully you might see me in my underwear. That's right. No pants were worn during this episode of Collective Kitchen.
