The wrath of too many carbs, I ate two loafs of bread pre-meal at republique last time and probably lack the self control to learn from that past mistake on my next trip there!
Happy birthday!

See the gradient of red within the steak probably means it wasn’t sous vide’d. Otherwise it’d be a far more uniform color inside.
Also it takes almost no time at all to cook a 14oz NY strip. No reason to even sous vide it.

Basque Burnt Cheesecake
Burnt on top w/undercooked creaminess (eggs, cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla) inside.
Hard to explain, just get it. Beware: it’s really rich!

I’ve had this recipe sitting in my inbox all summer long and never got to making it. You may have inspired me this weekend.

I discovered something. It’s so rich I’ve just been noshing on it thru the day. But the smooth creamy consistency starts to change a bit after sitting. Best to eat asap.
Edit: or keep it in the fridge.
What time do you go in to buy pastries?

I have fallen in love with Basque cuisine lately. Posted on the Tahoe/Truckee board about my introduction to it. Along with Alsatian, and Yunnan I think it is one of the most underrated cuisines in the world…and Georgian…there are so many, and so little time…

Going on Sunday. Has anyone had the Campanelle w/Lobster, Lemon, Basil? Wondering how basil-y it is? I don’t want to be removed from FTC, but I don’t love basil.

tried it a few months ago, i don’t remember it being basil-y and they’re easily avoidable.
don’t forget to try the en croute for dessert.

Okay yes, I can pick those basils off. This is hard because I love little bites and they have the best little bites (savory beignets, smoked tomato tartare caviar crostini! that bread & butter! those little soups).
Thank you. I will definitely have my dessert en croute’d.

Basil: I eat it. I serve it. I try to grow it. But I just don’t love it. It must know I don’t because it always dies on me. Yours is absolutely lovely @ebethsdad.
