Nobu Warm Mushroom Salad And Salmon With Matsuhisa Dressing

Previously, on tastingmenu.wordpress.com – * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2011/08/31/seared-salmon-belly-nobu-toro-hagashi-style/ While thinking about what to make for supper tonight (25 Sep 2012), I realized I hadn’t done an entree with Matsuhisa Dressing (soy onion dressing/sauce).  The Matsuhisa Dressing was probably the second sauce/dressing I’d attempted from Nobu: The Cookbook (after the wasabi pepper). As I looked about various menu’s from […]

Nobu’s Daikon Faux/Foie Gras, Revisited

Previously, on tastingmenu.wordpress.com – * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/nobus-daikon-fauxfoie-gras As I mentioned in the original post, I wasn’t quite happy with how my first take on the daikon faux gras turned out.  And as I thought about it, I began to suspect the ratio between the grated daikon and potato flour.  It was about 1 oz (30 g) […]

Jody Adams’ Tuscan-Style Steak

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed going out to have dinner at Rialto Restaurant.  Two of my favorite dishes there have been the Warm Asparagus, Aged Gouda, with Sherry Vinaigrette and the Tuscan-style Steak, Arugula, Portabello and Truffle Oil. Well, I haven’t seen the asparagus dish on the menu for awhile, but they still have the […]

Roast Poussin On Root Vegetables, Bouchon/Ad Hoc Style

Previously, on tastingmenu.wordpress.com – * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2011/07/11/a-weekend-supper-of-tomato-salad-and-roasted-cornish-game-hen So I thought I’d do a version of this dish using poussin/cornish game hens as a ‘comfort food’ Labor Day dinner. I guess what made this such a nice idea was that everything could be put onto individual serving plates.  As I would discover, the dish was described in […]

Good news: Ebisuya in Medford, Ma came through.  I managed to order 3 bottles of the shiro shoyu (at about $8/bottle) through them.  […]
