Very creative & interesting post. I sometimes use this same procedure with sun dried tomatoes. You can then puree the sun dried tomatoes and some mayonnaise along with a little of the liquid from the pot to make a quick salad dressing. chefjp

Food Bloggers: Going Legit(?) and Entering the Mainstream

I definitely think food bloggers have attained a certain legitimacy in the past year. Whether that's a good or bad thing, only time will tell. I do appreciate the fact that the attention food bloggers are currently receiving will not only change the restaurant critic culture but also provide some relevant hard news reportage as food bloggers focus on the current rash of food safety issues that concern us all. chefjp

What's Your Favorite Food Book of All Time and Why?

I think my favorite food book would be NEAR A THOUSAND TABLES: A HISTORY OF FOOD by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto. It's a lively history of food that illustrates the paramount role it has played in the development of our society. chefjp
