Previously on tastingmenu.wordpress.com – * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2011/01/12/morimoto-nyc-3/ “Omakase For 4 12/23/11 (Ariki Omae)…’Kobe Beef, Tokyo Negi yaki, maitake, broccoli rabe, sesame sauce, matsutake foam, menegi” What to make for dinner on Oscar night?

Konbu/Kombu Dashi
Posted by tastingmenu in Nobu At Home on February 27, 2012
In preparation to start cooking from Nobu’s Vegetarian Cookbook, I thought I’d go back to basics. One of the things I noticed in the new cookbook was the use of konbu/kombu dashi as a major source for the umami taste element. So, based on Nobu’s recipe for kombu dashi (p. 161), I put a quart […]

Nobu’s Vegetarian Cookbook

Just picked this up last night… After getting the book home and quickly leafing through it, I must say I’m looking forward to trying some of the dishes in the book.

Previously, on tastingmenu.wordpress.com – * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/ny-strip-with-nishino-red-wine-soy-reduction/ I thought I’d do another Nishino dish this weekend for dinner. Looking over Nishino’s Autumn Omakase internet book (see: http://www.tastingmenu.com/autumnomakase/B889FA42C4E021AAEE978D1/Autumn%20Omakase%20from%20Tatsu%20Nishino%20and%20tastingmenu.publishing.pdf ), I thought I’d try doing his yellowtail with balsamic teriyaki. Actually, the name of the dish is a little bit of misnomer, since it’s yellowtail teriyaki on braised […]
Superbowl Sunday Dinner
Posted by tastingmenu in Nishino At Home, Nobu At Home, Uncategorized on February 7, 2012
Previously, on tastingmenu.wordpress.com – * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2011/01/01/on-suimono/ * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2010/12/13/toban-yaki-nobu-style/ So my wife asked me to do another tobanyaki dinner for Superbowl Sunday. So instead of salmon, I chose to do a steak version. But a tobanyaki dish by itself didn’t quite seem to fit the occasion so I thought I’d add a few more courses for […]
