CLAIRETHOMAS

by Sam Davis

On this months issue we sat down wih Claire Tomas. We chatted with her at her home in Los Angeles California.

She’s a frequent food blooger who has turend her food into an intellectual and grumbling-stomach driven passion.

What is your earliest kitchen memory?

I remember being at my Grandad’s house shucking beans and ripping greens.

Where are your culinary roots planted?

Southern California . I like to keep it all here. We have connections with local farm-ers. My friend grows the lettuces and aru-gula that we use, and we work with local farmers to grow what the restaurants need.

It makes sense. There’s no point in getting what we can grow here from somewhere else. Local resources use less gas, less peo-ple handle the food. It’s better and cheaper if it’s local.

When you give a party, what’s on the menu?

I usually pick a theme. I worked in San Francisco for a while so I got lots of prac-tice cooking Asian food.

What ingredients do you always have on hand?

Flour, lard, onions, potatoes, grits, and lots of rice.

What is your favorite place to eat?

Tha’s a hard question, can I get back to you on that one?

What is your favorite kitchen gadget?

Probably my mortar and pestle. I put gar-lic and anchovies in there to make Caesar dressing, or I’ll put in peppers for Mexican dishes.

Any guilty pleasures or food indul-gences?

Lots of them! hahaha

What is in your refrigerator at home?

I keep it pretty light in there but I always have eggs, butter, fresh vegetables, milk, half and half, and orange juice, pickled peppers, pre-serves.

WHO ARE THESE FOOD BLOGGERS?A closer lookby Steve Williams

We start of by first going where some people, and like my friends when I was young. Perfect as make ahead

dishes, they can be served room temp, and they taste delicious too. Plus, you can put practically anything in them.

I felt like snacking on a big bowl of salty home-made potato chips today, but didn’t want to deal with the guilt and mess of dragging out my deep pot, filling it with oil, and dropping paper thin slices of potato into the golden roil. I figured that if I at least turned potato chips into a viable dinner option, it would be worth the effort and lost belt notch. So here we have a hearty little tart, filled with kale, ricotta, and sautéed onions, and topped with paper thin po-tato slices that crisp up beautifully in the oven.

The trick here is in how thin you can get your potatoes. I used a hand mandoline (I found mine in the kitchen utensil aisle next to things like avocado slicers and garlic presses), and put it on the thinest setting, so I could see light coming through the potato slices.Crispy and golden brown on top, hearty and filling inside, all nestled in a flakey, tender tart

The Cheeseboard

by Randi Berez

By the afternoon we’re ready for a snack, so we head to Cheeseboard for some baguette, basque goat cheese and olives.

“Nom, nom, nom” is the appropriate emotion behind our little picnic.

The real reason why we pop into the store? The pizzeria isn’t open yet. I start ordering my cheese, and then feel the buzz of my cell. It’s Christie, who’s supposed to be standing next to me. “I’m in line!” I look out the window, and there she is waving, 15 deep in a line for the pizzeria that isn’t supposed to open for an-other 20 minutes. When I join her we look at

the menu, trying to decide if we want the fresh corn, onion, mozzarella, feta, or pesto pizza, it never occurring to us that these would be top-pings for one pizza.

My love of all things Huckleberry is no secret and with Memorial Day com-ing up this weekend I cannot wait to

dip a spoon in whatever Josh and Zoe’s new-est project, Sweet Rose Creamery, has to offer. Small batch ice creams and sorbets are made daily and carry the same seasonal raison de’tre that Huckleberry and Rustic Canyon have be-come famous for. The sundaes and banana splits are out of a Norman Rockwell painting,

down to the toasted almonds and the necessary cherry on top and I cannot get the idea of earl grey ice cream out of my head.

And it looks like I’m supposed to fold more ice cream into my diet, because Sweet Rose Cream-ery is literally down the street. My stomach re-joices, while my thighs aren’t quite on board, but easily coerced. A small sacrifice when a perfect bite is on the line. So if you’re in an ice cream or sorbet mood (which is always, right?), come early and get in line. Your stomach will

Sweetened Condensed Milk is having a bit of a moment. It has a lot of things going for it when it comes to

food trend bingo: sweet, rich, vaguely nos-talgic, cheap, found in a can. It also can be transformed into an amazing dulce de

leche, just by boiling a can in water for 90 minutes. It’s versatile and simple, and pulls at my heartstrings, as if it’s nestled some-where in my past.

But it’s not. My mom was more of a “gold-en syrup” lady, so sweetened condensed milk’s charms are a new revelation to me.

Not only does this make the community more united but It helps create new ideas.

This cake mirrors the simple loveliness of its star ingredient. It’s compact and dense, filled with not-too-sweet eggy flavor, but not a show stopper. It’s the cake that I de-voured over the course of a day. It’s the

I love making, serving, and eating savory tarts. Perfect as make ahead dishes, they can be served room temp, and they taste delicious too. Plus, you can put practi-

cally anything in them.

I felt like snacking on a big bowl of salty homemade po-tato chips today, but didn’t want to deal with the guilt and mess of dragging out my deep pot, filling it with oil, and dropping paper thin slices of potato into the golden roil. I figured that if I at least turned potato chips into a viable dinner option, it would be worth the effort and lost belt notch. So here we have a hearty little tart, filled with kale, ricotta, and sautéed onions, and topped with paper thin potato slices that crisp up beautifully in the oven.

The trick here is in how thin you can get your potatoes. I used a hand mandoline (I found mine in the kitchen utensil aisle next to things like avocado slicers and garlic presses), and put it on the thinest setting, so I could see light coming through the potato slices.

Crispy and golden brown on top, hearty and filling inside,

I love making, serving, and eat-ing savory tarts. Perfect as make ahead dishes, they can be


I felt like snacking on a big bowl of salty homemade potato chips today, but didn’t want to deal with the guilt and mess of dragging out my deep pot, filling it with oil, and dropping paper thin slices of potato into the golden roil. I figured that if I at least turned potato chips into a viable dinner option, it would be worth the effort and lost belt notch. So here we have a hearty little tart,

filled with kale, ricotta, and sautéed onions, and topped with paper thin potato slices that crisp up beauti-fully in the oven.

The trick here is in how thin you can get your potatoes. I used a hand mandoline (I found mine in the kitchen utensil aisle next to things like avocado slicers and garlic press-es), and put it on the thinest setting, so I could see light coming through the potato slices.

Crispy and golden brown on top, hearty and filling inside, all nestled in a flakey, tender tart crust. Potato chips? Bah! Sign me up for a savory tart instead.

I can’t believe I’m writing this, but I’m sort of over caprese. Shhh shhh shhh shhh. I know. I KNOW. Crazy talk. But it’s true. My threshold for caprese was met, I have full caprese satura-tion. During the summer, and what has be-come that typical Los Angeles post-summer phase where it’s in the 80s through November, caprese is my answer to anything. Tomatoes are at their peak in flavor and texture, basil is grow-ing like mad, and the combination with milky mozzarella is always delicious. But always deli-cious can get a bit boring, and in an attempt to avoid a desert island scenario where I only eat caprese, I decided to mix it up.
