Joe’s Shanghai – Midtown, New York

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 19 April 2012

Listed alphabetically by state, Joe’s Shanghai (鹿鳴春) was in the New York section of CNN’s ‘50 best Chinese restaurants in the United States‘. In the same block as Momofuku Má Pêche and Momofuku Milk Bar in Midtown, Joe’s Shanghai is a double storey ‘centre of exotic specialties’. I signalled a table for one and was [...]

Delancey – Ballard, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 18 April 2012

I’m an expert at booking tickets. I note the on sale details on my calendar and I’m on the website at the precise time to click ‘purchase’. Thanks to this quirk I have learnt to brine and roast chicken, knead and throw pizza dough, bake macarons, and pleat dumplings at The Pantry at Delancey. Co-owners [...]

Momofuku Milk Bar – Midtown, New York

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 17 April 2012

It was ice cream weather in New York. After shopping for a couple of hours, I criss-crossed Midtown Manhattan to Momofuku Milk Bar for a sweet treat. Located in the foyer of Momofuku Má Pêche, Christina Tosi‘s neon pink homage to baking was reprieve from the humidity. The chalkboard menu spanned the wall. Neatly printed [...]

Gramercy Tavern – Flatiron District, New York

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 10 April 2012

New York is a walking city. When I was in the Big Apple during Hurricane Irene, stores, museums and the Subway were closed. Ms H and I traipsed from Times Square to 86th on the Upper East Side in a futile search for an open cinema. We whiled away the afternoon criss-crossing the subdued neighbourhoods, [...]

Ladurée – Upper East Side, New York

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 04 April 2012

New York was quiet on a Sunday morning. Four days of volatile spring weather concluded with drizzle as we walked to the Upper East Side for sweet souvenirs. I had scrawled Ladurée‘s address in my notebook for last September‘s trip but avoided the opening weekend. I had mentally prepared myself for a queue out the [...]

Momofuku Milk Bar by Christina Tosi at Book Larder – Fremont, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 02 November 2011

I attended my first event at Book Larder yesterday. A community cookbook store in Fremont, it is a warm and welcoming space with the kitchen at its heart. A large group gathered for Christina Tosi, author, chef and owner of Momofuku Milk Bar. A vintage stove is salvaged as a window display. Cookbooks are categorised and neatly stacked. [...]

Dylan’s Candy Bar – Upper East Side, New York

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 30 September 2011

Halloween isn’t observed in Australia. It’s considered an American tradition but some neighourhoods do celebrate it. A couple of houses near our home in Sydney decorated their front yards with fake cobwebs and glow in the dark skeletons. Children in costumes were chaperoned by parents to go trick-or-treating. A visit to Dylan’s Candy Bar is [...]

Eataly – Flatiron District, New York

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 23 September 2011

‘Italy is Eataly.’ And Eataly is the size of all five David Jones Foodhalls in one location combined with the absurd Scandinavian navigation of IKEA. I was exploring the Flatiron District after lunch at Shake Shack and I found myself at the entrance of Eataly. I stood on the sidewalk for several minutes, observing the [...]

Salted potluck with Mark Bitterman

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 21 September 2011

I grew up in a household that weaned off salt over time. My parents cooked with it sparingly in a salt reduced diet that was advocated by dieticians and nutritionists. As adults we had the same shaker of supermarket brand iodised salt in our pantry for many years, its only purpose was to salt the [...]

Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream – food truck, New York

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 16 September 2011

The weather was spectacular in New York the days after Hurricane Irene. Cornflower blue sky and a gentle breeze was perfect condition for a long walk around Central Park. I love the urban oasis in the middle of Manhattan, at the heart of the city. Locals run, cycle and walk their dogs, and tourists meander [...]
