Food'N'Flix: Jiro Dreams of Sushi {Invitation}

By



Food‘nFlix
We've come full-circle and it's my turn to host Food'N'Flix where we watch movies and head  into the kitchen and cook or bake or make something based on a recipe they actually make in it or just something we were driven to make after watching it.

 This month was my pick. And I selected Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

 I watched this movie with some girlfriends last year; I remember it being a visual feast, seasoned with a quest for perfection. I'm looking forward to watching it again. 

 If you're inclined to join the fun - and I really hope you are - watch the movie and get cooking.

 Post about it on your blog with a link back to this post and to Food'N'Flix. Use of the logo is optional.

 Your post must be current (during month of film). And of course we don't mind if your post is linked to other events...the more the merrier.

 Have fun with it!

    I am so excited that you picked this flick, Camilla! It is such an inspiring story...and it makes me crave excellent sushi with a passion!

    I have had this DVD for months and I have yet to watch it (long story), so excited.

    I was just telling The Hubs about this and that we needed to watch this one together. :) And, we have neither EVER tried sushi. (Hey, we live in the Midwest.)

      You definitely get a pass on never having tried sushi if you live in the Midwest. I am always wary about eating seafood, in general, when I can't SEE the sea! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

      Ummmm...I live in the Midwest. We actually have an awesome Sushi restaurant in town!

      @Heather! I think it depends on where in the Midwest. I was in Oklahoma for a year and definitely felt like a fish out of water.

    I just watched this the other day and while I'm not going to quite attempt sushi, I do have something in mind!

      Can't wait. I was thinking of skipping the sushi-making, too. I've done it...but know that it won't be up to Jiro's standards.

    I watched this movie a few months ago and I am looking forward to watching it again. I loves me some sushi--just not making it (I am lazy like that!) ;-) but I have several ideas already.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
