Celery-Fennel Slaw #KitchenMatrixCookingProject

By

Another week, another recipe for the Kitchen Matrix Project, named after Mark Bittman's Kitchen Matrix cookbook. You can read about it: here. This month, I picked the recipes for the month am I'm very excited about the dishes and the bloggers who are joining me. And I am thrilled with how simple these recipes are to make.

This week, I picked 'Celery + 16 Ways' for the group. If you don't have the cookbook, Bittman's celery recipes are available online at the New York Times: here.

Celery-Fennel Slaw

I opted to make a celery slaw with fennel because it's what I had and I love those flavors together. I used a mandolin to get the slices thin and uniform.

Ingredients

  • 2 C shaved celery
  • 2 C shaved fennel
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • freshly ground salt
  • pinch of fennel pollen


Procedure
Place all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Toss to coat. Let stand for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to meld. Serve immediately.

    I totally had such a hard time choosing from all 16 versions. Your slaw sounds amazing.

      I know! I am definitely going to try the other 15 versions throughout the weeks. I am intrigued by the marinated celery. That's up next!

    I love fennel as well but wanted to tie in the other ingredients for the month. I should have stuck with the celery alone LOL

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...
