I was going to repost my famous "Secret Underwater Pomegranate Trick" video, but the video quality was so horrible (it was one of my first how-to videos) I decided to re-shoot it with the new SLR camera. I’m so glad I did! It looks amazing, if I do say so myself. There is nothing quite like the ...

I wake up in a strange kitchen with no windows. I have no idea how I got there. All the doors are locked. I am alone. There is a note on a nearby table. "You’re to cook dinner for six people tonight, using anything in this fully stocked kitchen. You will not be told who'll be eating your food, o...

My all-time favorite fast food in the whole world is a Taco al Pastor. I live right next to the "Mission," which is San Francisco’s Mexican neighborhood, and there are literally three or four taquerías per block selling this amazing treat. It's a huge stack of thinly sliced pork, marinated in ch...

This video recipe for Trader Joe’s meatloaf was produced for a few reasons. First, I like meatloaf, and Trader Joe's (a chain of great little grocery stores) has some wonderful ingredients that make this recipe easy and delicious. Secondly, I would love to be hired as a sort of video spokesperso...

This video recipe is my fairly weak attempt at the famous Vietnamese spicy beef noodle soup, Pho. As I shopped for the ingredients, I had a nice package of beef oxtail in my hand, but since I was just making a small batch, and I already had two beautiful beef shanks in the basket, I decided to n...

Inspired by Clara and her depression-era pasta and peas, I decided to do my own take on this meager macaroni. I hope I’m wrong, but I think the next big thing in the food world is going to be these types of "frugal fabulous" recipes. During this video recipe for penne pasta with peas and prosciu...

Those nutrition labels on food do not easily frighten me. But, one label that always takes my breath away is that of heavy whipping cream. The fat and calories are staggering, yet nothing compares to its indescribable effect on a recipe. Those of you who made the chocolate mousse know what I’m t...

Balls have always been problematic for menu and recipe writers. You can’t write "Pork Balls" on a menu, you have to write "Pork Meatballs." Even though there would be no possibility of confusing these Bison balls with the reproductive parts of a male buffalo, the "balls" would never be written w...

This very simple, roasted chicken video recipe is an example of how appearances can be very misleading in the kitchen. The sauce is built from the caramelized lemon and chicken juices stuck to the bottom of the roasting pan, which take the form of an unappetizing black tar. If you didn’t know an...

I almost didn’t film this meal. Initially it struck me as so mundane and unimpressive that I wasn't sure it would make a worthwhile video recipe. Then I remembered I'm an atypical Foodwishes fan. While it's getting harder and harder for me to impress myself, thankfully most of you remain fairly ...

This video recipe for roasted chicken with watercress is dedicated to the late, great Julia Child. Today, Food Wishes is the Julie & Julia (a new film starring Meryl Streep as Julia Child) Blog of the Day, and I decided to feature my favorite Julia Child recipe to celebrate this great honor. We’...

I wonder if Snoop Dogg visits this blog, and if he does, what he thinks about my gratuitous, trying to be cool, hip-hop reference. This chocolate video features one of my rare forays into the world of candy. These chocolate coins are inspired by my love for the chocolate-salt-caramel flavor comb...
