Gilding the Lily since 2006
I made saag paneer completely from scratch and it is so much better than anything I’ve had in restaurants (a testament to the overall lack of great Indian food in Portland more than my cooking prowess, but freshness goes a long way). The boar korma …
Had a bag of homemade pierogi in the freezer from a few months ago, and like an idiot I thawed them out! They all melted into a solid goopy pile, and I shook with frustration and anguish. But then luckily the smart part of my …
Made a lovely selection of zakuski for afternoon tea with @onstad and @lifeandmarmalade yesterday — from the top: roasted peppers in adjika and krestianskaya sausage (both store-bought from Roman Russian Market), white cheddar, mustard, turmeric pickled eggs, pickled beets, homegrown cornichons, dark rye, tomato-cucumber salad, …
Fridge-clearing yachaejeon (vegetable pancake; center) made of gai lan, carrots, red bell pepper, zucchini, shimeji mushrooms, onions, and garlic chives (from the garden!) in a batter of flour and backyard eggs, seasoned with sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger and garlic. The rest of the stuff: …
Split mung bean and pea soup with bacon, caramelized parsnip and leeks; topped with crème fraîche, shaved salt-cured duck egg yolk, and a pistou of Thai basil, cilantro, mint, dill, garlic chives, and Meyer lemon. The peas are split and fresh (English). Eat the season! …

These photos don’t do these dishes justice, but the venison was unbelievably tender and juicy. The pilaf is staying in my permanent rotation. Had a few homies over for dinner last night, and after thinking it over for a few days, I ended up abandoning …

I had a couple of leftover bierocks from a shoot today (upcoming in @pomomagazine — stay tuned!), so tonight’s dinner was merely a matter of tossing together a nice little Rettichsalat mit Speck. This is just a bowl of matchstick-cut black radishes with @nueskes bacon, …
