Vegetarian Food Porn
fresh365 is a site dedicated to gorgeous images of food and a collection of vegetarian recipes. For example, the Baked Summer Tomatoes (above) look delicious, and we’ve included the recipe after the jump.
Deep Fried Cheesecake
There is a god today, and her name happens to be Paula Deen. I can’t think of anything else I want more for lunch than a slice of deep fried cheesecake with some ice cream…and a shot of Jameson. (video and recipe after the jump)
The Looftlighter
The BBQ game has changed. By utilizing hot air, the Swedish-designed Looftlighter reaches temperatures in excess of 1000º Fahrenheit, and can start a fire in as little as 15 seconds. If this thing can go wireless, it will make matches and lighter fluid obsolete while also simultaneously becoming the weapon of choice for pyros.
How to Scale and Gut a Fish
Something you should probably learn just in case you ever want to man up.
Directions here and a filleting video after the jump.
A nice kitchen accessory
If you have to wear an apron in the kitchen, this is the one.
I like the simple natural unbleached cotton with iconography.
Eva Solo Table Top Grill
While in no way new to the market, this table grill from eva solo is a sleek, designy alternative if you want to get your Yuppie Barbecue on.

Some cooking methods are reserved for hipster foodies, while others are only for the working masses. Braising is the domain of McSweeney’s-reading elites, whereas Joe Six-Pack prefers boiling. You have a subscription to the New Yorker? Let your cleaning lady fry her onions while you sauté yours. The way you apply heat to your food denotes class and privilege. Do you know the difference between baking and roasting? More often than not, roasting refers to cooking something in the oven at a higher temperature than baking, but then there’s slow roasting, which calls for temperatures lower than you would use to bake bread. The confusion in terms stems from the changes that occurred in cooking with the advent of the home oven/stove top setup we’re used to these days. In any case, if you’ve got a piece of meat in the oven, just tell people you’re roasting it, and they will know that you went to an Ivy League.

Cookin’ for Scratch: Tacos
I’d like to introduce Gerry Mak to the audience. On top of waxin’ recipes and cooking, he plays in the band Bloody Panda.
Nothing says “I’m a true player” like cooking for yourself. All those huddled masses only wish they could prepare their own food, but only an elite few get that privilege. One of the most exotic of cuisines is Mexican, and to be able to cook some tasty-ass Mexican food in your own damn kitchen is like being rich and irresponsible, very much as if you were a pimp, a type of person who is rich and irresponsible. Here’s the recipe, if you can handle it and are wealthy enough to purchase such items as a chuck roast, which is usually around $3.50 per pound, very much like gold:
