Spices of Life - Morimoto: Samurai or Chef? Pt. I
For Chef Masaharu Morimoto, "cutting boards and knives are sacred." As a cook, I have been impressed with the importance of cleavers and knives, but never on the level as this Japanese chef. When I first met Morimoto two years ago, he was on a book tour, traveling to Boston. The airline had somehow misplaced his luggage with his magical knives inside. He couldn’t eat or sleep until they were found. Soon, apparently, you will be able to buy knives like the ones he uses through the website, www.chefmorimoto.com. According to Morimoto, his knives are superior to most commercially available knives. He feels as though they are an extension of his arm. Just as a samurai warrior feels passion and reverence for his sword, as you can see in the video, Morimoto has similar feelings for his knives.Enjoy! Nina

Spices of Life: Best Recipe Ever: Moon Cakes
The Harvest Moon Festival and Moon Cakes are very special to me. First of all, it was one of the first foods I tasted many years ago when I went to live in Taiwan. If you happen to go to Chinatown, you will see the Chinese bakery shelves are filled with numerous varieties- each one with a different filling. The Chinese like their moon cakes stuffed with red bean paste, lotus seed paste, dried fruits and occasionally garnished with a salty duck egg yolk. Sound appetizing? They can be cloying and not as appealing to the western palate.I learned a wonderful version of moon cakes from a Chinese chef years ago in Taiwan and I’ve further adapted the recipe. My Five-Treasure Moon Cakes have a buttery-vanilla crust stuffed with a sumptuous apricot marmalade filling and it is one of my favorite recipes. I like to make a batch or two of the dough and filling and stuff them. I then freeze the uncooked, shaped cakes in plastic bags and bake them the day I am serving them. They are delicious served with tea.Let’s all celebrate this beautiful, but poignant time of year! (Winter’s on the way.)Enjoy the full, harvest moon and make moon cakes.NinaMoon cake presses can be ordered through Woks ‘n’ Things, 2234 S. Wentworth Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Phone: 312-842-0701
