我的妈妈贝蒂·凯勒是个循规蹈矩的人。作为一个单身母亲,她一边抚养五个儿子和一个女儿,一边非常努力地经营餐馆。她喜欢在一天结束的时候手边有饼干,她特别喜欢Keebler山核桃三明治。这是我童年的一部分,它是香草和山核桃的混合味道,我把它和她联系在一起。对我来说那是成人饼干。橱柜里总有一袋。或者说几乎总是这样。我们有六个孩子,我们都很贪吃。这在我妈妈做饼干的时候是个问题。我们有自己的饼干、奥利奥饼干和坚果黄油饼干,但当我们把这些饼干吃完后,就会有妈妈做的那袋山核桃三明治,让我们胆大起来。 It was really hard. Those cookies were sacrosanct, but sometimes, guiltily, we ate her cookies, one by one, until they were gone. Mom had very few things she could call her own. She had no real luxuries. We didn't have winter family vacations; we didn't go to a cabin by a lake in the summer. She worked, and she gave us everything we wanted and needed. But we didn't appreciate it then. How could we know? How could I, youngest of the boys, know? But I do now. Day after day, year after year, Mom set an extraordinary example for me. An example of hard work, attention to detail, and an all-consuming love for our family that I still have today. Food is a powerful connecter of who we are to who we were, to our past, to our memories, and, for me, to a different and simpler time. Even the smallest thing—a cookie—can help us understand what we feel now while reminding us of what we once felt and who we've become versus who we were then. So much of who I am today is tied to who my mom was, the choices she made, the way she worked, and how she lived her life. What success I have today, I owe to her. All of which is why the pecan sandie is so important to me.
Gnocchi, la Parisienne巴黎汤圆是用你为什么要这么做一种用途广泛的面团,将面粉和水一起煮熟,然后加入鸡蛋。然后可以用管子把它做成各种形状,烘烤成profiterole,或者做成甜点,或者做成美味的甜点,比如gougires,或者在水里煮成意大利饺子。巴黎团子是美味的,令人满意的小块,就像意大利团子或任何意大利面一样,可以搭配各种食材,变成无数道菜。只要把它们放在黄油里就很好吃了。它们还可以用香草、芥末和奶酪调味。在Bouchon,我们不提供太多的意大利面或米饭,所以我们用土豆团子作为一些素食菜的有趣基础。它们不是经典的小酒馆食物,但制作方法是法国的,可以追溯到埃科菲埃之前。这个食谱可以做240个汤圆,是你需要的两倍蘑菇南瓜团子.水煮后的汤圆可以冷冻一个月到六个星期。
