Making the perfect caramel popcorn
The scary part of making caramel popcorn is when you add the baking soda and the caramel bubbles up. As long as everything is ready, though, there's no need for alarm, as Jessica Bard, Fine Cooking's photo coordinator, demonstrates in this video.
For complete instructions and the recipe for this buttery, crunchy, perfect gift, read Karen DeMasco's article, "Caramel Popcorn," in the 2004 Holiday Baking issue of Fine Cooking (#68), from Taunton Press.
Gnocchi, featuring "orange rescue"
Gnocchi, featuring "orange rescue" is one of the greatest shows from Crash Test Kitchen, a brilliant Aussie video blog about cooking.
They write: "We're Waz and Lenny, a couple of foodies with a digital video camera. No, we're not chefs, we just love to cook, eat, drink, and have a laugh! You won't find any of that "here's one we prepared earlier" stuff here - we make mistakes, sometimes in spectacular fashion, and the failures get posted along with the success stories. Call it a food video blog, a cooking video blog, cooking vlog, food vlog, reality cooking or whatever ... we're just out to have fun!"
And by the looks of it, they are having a lot of fun.
Fish on the grill without sticking
Steve Johnson, chef-owner of The Blue Room in Cambridge, Massachusetts, advises that a clean grill is the first step to grilling fish without having it stick. Brush on a little oil and start grilling with the skin side down. The skin adds an extra layer of protection, and it can be peeled off later if you're not interested in eating it. For more grilling tips and some recipes from Steve, check out Fine Cooking's issues June/July 1999 (#33) and June/July 2001 (#45).
Academy Award winner Robert Towne ("Chinatown") writes and directs "Ask the Dust," set under the brutally sunny skies of Depression-era Los Angeles. Based on novelist John Fante's masterpiece, Towne's interpretation focuses on a city exotic and vulgar, glamorous and raunchy - a place of heat and dust. Full of imports - palm trees from Egypt and people from everywhere in search of health and wealth, fame and fortune - L.A. is the city of first and last resort, where all dreams are supposed to come true. So it is for Arturo Bandini (Colin Farrell), a son of Italian immigrants who dreams of becoming a famous novelist and marrying a beautiful blonde, and Camilla Lopez (Salma Hayek) a Mexican who longs to marry a WASP and shed her last name. In a time when Anglo-Chicano relations hang by tattered threads, Bandini and Camilla collide with one another, fighting the city and themselves to make their dreams come true.
"Goal! The Dream Begins" trailer
How far would you go to live your dream? When Santiago Munez (Kuno Becker) is given the chance of a lifetime, he must leave his family, his life in Los Angeles and everything that he knows to travel halfway around the globe to England and into a completely foreign world ? the exciting, fast-paced and glamorous world of international soccer. As an underprivileged Mexican-American immigrant growing up in the poor section of Los Angeles, Santiago seemed destined to follow his father's path in life: laboring at menial jobs to earn just enough money to support his family. Naturally gifted, his amazing talent on the soccer field was wasted in recreation league games while he could only dream of playing on the world stage of professional soccer. But when a British scout (Stephen Dillane) discovers his talent and gets him a tryout with one of England's premier soccer clubs, Newcastle United, Santiago must choose between his father's fate and his own destiny. Now alone in a world where soccer is a religion and players are gods, this underdog must prove that he's got the talent and determination to make it amongst the best in the world. Directed by Danny Cannon, the film features cameos from the soccer's hottest superstars such as David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Raul, and Newcastle captain Alan Shearer.
