Food Porn

[color=indigo]Some recipes are so good they may as well be pornographic. This thread is to discuss, share, and salivate over those recipes.

I'm going to kick this thread off with one of my favorite celebrity chefs, Tyler Florence. With the exception of my mom no one has taught me more about cooking (I should mention that I am a fan-freaking-tastic cook, not because I am creative in the kitchen, but because I can follow basic instructions) then Mr. Florence. His cookbooks are always filled with appealing dishes, and he does a great job making simpler food taste great.

The above dish is a great take on spaghetti and meatballs. I have made it many times and it is a great dish when you are entertaining groups of 6-10 people, add a simple salad and some homemade garlic bread and you'll have your friends and family wondering why this classic never tasted so good before.

If you are interested in the recipe you can find it [url="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/spaghetti-and-meatballs-recipe2/index.html"]here[/url].

Trust me, its worth making at least once.[/color]

Wow! That really does look good! I might have to try it, I am sure that it would easily impress people. (And that is ALWAYS a good thing!)

Yeah, that's what I love to make with my dad. ^^ Fettucini alfredo with shrimp. He's the one who has taught me everthing about cooking, because my mom can't make anything. At all. Not even Campbell's soup >.>

I'm a decent cook, but I don't like to cook too much because I have to clean up the mess afterwards. I'll cook, as long as someone else cleans. It's not like I'm a pig in the kitchen.
I think I'll try your recipe and surprise my dad with dinner on Wednesday.

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]...God damn it, I demand a rule against adding the word "Porn" to thread titles if it does not involve nekkid ladies in some capacity!!

*Storms out in a huff*

I will settle for pictures of females holding the food if they are sufficiently disrobed.[/size][/font]

[font="Garamond"]Oh you silly boys

My favorite recipe has to be my mom's recipe for Chili. Nothing too special. Just kidney beans, ground beef, and chili seasoning bought from the store...but it's all the extra things we add (cheese, sour cream, fritos) that makes it awesome. I could have that any time.[/font]

That looks delicious. But I've had bad tastes experience with shrimp sushi in the past. I prefer menudo. It's a delicious breakfast food.

Omg Menudo is one of the best foods in the world! I love it when my grandmother makes it. My favorite part is the hominy, and usually, if you buy it from the store, it won't have much of that in it, but my grandma always makes sure to put extra for me.
Despite how fatting and unhealthy it is, I would say menudo is my favorite food.
Not to mention the vast amounts of weird stuff that goes in it...

[color=indigo]I would complain about my thread being sabotaged, but Padma always makes my heart flutter. Thanks Eleanor!

I would be remiss if I didn't mention e few of my favorite recipes from one of the greatest chefs of my generation, David Chang.

His book, [b]Momofuku[/b], has the greatest recipe for ramen (and all of the needed accouterments) outside of those really close-lipped Japanese gourmets. But, that recipe is waaaaaayyyy too long (and really complicated) for this post. Instead, I thought I would pass along a great, easy Chang recipe.

[b]Braised Short Ribs, Adapted from David Chang[/b]

1½ cups pear or apple juice
1 cup sake
1 cup mirin
½ cup sugar
1 cup soy sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
10 cloves crushed garlic
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like corn or grapeseed
4 to 5 pounds short ribs
2 large onions, peeled and roughly chopped
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
2 tablespoons butter
8 to 12 small potatoes, preferably fingerlings, trimmed
½ cup chopped scallions
4 cups cooked white rice.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a saucepan, combine juice, sake, mirin, sugar, soy sauce, about 20 grinds of pepper, both forms of garlic, sesame oil and 1½ cups water. Bring to a boil, then simmer.

2. Put corn or grapeseed oil in a large ovenproof braising pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add ribs, seasoning them liberally with salt and pepper. Brown well on one side, moving them around to promote even browning. Turn, add onions and half the carrots, and brown other side, stirring vegetables occasionally.

3. Carefully pour braising liquid over meat and bake, bone-side up and submerged in liquid (add water or juice if necessary), for 3 to 4 hours, until meat falls from bones. Cool ribs in liquid for 1 hour, then remove; strain liquid. At this point, ribs and liquid can be covered and refrigerated overnight.

4. Remove bones from ribs. In a pot, combine meat with braising liquid; heat to a boil then simmer, reducing liquid until syrupy. If it seems too thick, thin with a bit of water.

5. About ½ hour before you are ready to serve, put butter in a skillet and add potatoes and remaining carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally and seasoning with salt and pepper, until browned and nearly tender, about 20 minutes. Add to meat. Taste mixture and adjust seasonings if necessary, then garnish with scallions and serve on rice.
