I love Jamie's magazine, I was super excited when he started it. I don't buy all the issues (some are a bit "meat-centric" to be useful to me) but I love to browse them in the shop. And yes, he's super cute ;)

OT- Curious what he said about bad service? In the States? Because as a Canuck living in the UK, I've got to say that there are days when I'm aching for some good old-fashioned North American customer service! It's not really considered important here, which can make shopping a drag :|

Those are gorgeous! So pretty, in fact, that I think I'd be afraid to cook in one.

I love these pictures. I never thought of the small food stalls in kathmandu as 'farmer's market'...but i guess that would be the right way to describe it. Its so easy to miss the things when its right infront of you! These are beautiful pictures and it showcases seasonal gooseberries :-)

I have debated making these but all tht butter turned me away. It is all your fault that I think I am going to make them. You make them sound like the very best. How can I not bake these?

Just tell me to take responsibility for my own decisions.

Re: Homemade Gnocchi or Gnocchi di Patate

Oh, gnocchi. I have a love/hate relationship with it; it either works or it doesn't, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it! Some days I'll get fluffy, light pillows of heaven, and others I'll get heavy little hockey pucks. When I'm in the mood for it but don't want to go to all the trouble, I often make spaetzle instead.

I'm sure it was hazelnuts as everything in that area is hazelnut. I think it probably had more cream than butter. So probably uses olive oil as a base. Herbs? I don't know. What herbs do you think would be good with hazelnuts and cream? They really don't use a lot of herbs in their cooking in Emilia Romagna that I can remember, which was always surprising to us. Don't even use garlic.

I hope you do try with the gf flour mix. And let me know!

Marsha, I was actually going to try making gnocchi with Bob's gluten free flour mix (just to see how it turns out). I have too many celiac friends who love gnocchi but can't eat it. Will let you know how it goes... Hmm... a nut sauce, tell me more! Hazelnuts? Butter? Herbs? I may have to try.... :)

Gnocchi is one my favorite foods of all time. Except now I have to figure out how to make it gluten free. It will be worth the effort! But maybe the only effort will be substituting a different flour in your recipe. Definitely a place to start! I love the brown butter and sage sauce but one of the most memorable ones I had was in Bologna, Italy -- it was with a nut sauce. I still dream of it!

Re: Georgia + Brussels Sprouts = Total Love

One of the techniques I've learned with the under-appreciated vegetable involves trimming the woody part, then scoring the base with a cross. Next, briefly cook in boiling water (2 or 3 minutes). Finish in a pan of browned butter with freshly grated nutmeg. The goodness of the vegetable remains without masking.

Awesome! I've only had frozen zucchini cakes...and they obviously don't compare to homemade. Thanks for the recipe!

Thank you so much for the kind words... I too can tell that we're cut from the same cloth ; )

It's so true... I don't get why brussels sprouts have such a bad name! Kind of like lima beans; they never did anything to hurt anyone :)

You're welcome, Marilyn! Yes, I hear it was called "poor man's spaghetti" and my grandma would make something similar. She'd use a lot more egg which is delicious but I wanted to try something different. :)

I just love this we had it when I was very little forgot all about this dish, My Mom would make this. Thanks Maggie.
