Ahoy!




How to Eat (that) the weblog, was created as a follow up to the book How to Eat (that) — a pocket etiquette guide to the cultures and the etiquette at dinner tables around the world. It is yet to be available, but bits of the content can be found on this site under the How to category.

This site is a collaborative effort between myself, Adrianne Dow Young, and my husband Chef Erik Brett Cannella. We cook professionally up and down the west coast. You can read about our other adventures here.
Your comments are encouraged – especially feedback on recipes you tried. Email is welcome.



A WARNING ABOUT THE RECIPES


RARE is it that Erik and I measure ingredients for marinades, sauces and rubs. Spices change and bloom differently and mutate with age, heat, humidity and cooking temperature. If you try one of our recipes we suggest that you taste and create based on what's happening in front of you.

How to store Fresh Herbs

Posted by Erik Brett Cannella in How To at 16:36
How To
Traveled to my brother's house the other day and picked some herbs from his garden. There is something satisfying about picking herbs as opposed to buying them in plastic containers at 3 bucks a pop.

Fresh picked herbs from the garden don't come with plastic containers, so to store the herbs properly, one is left to their own devices.

To properly store fresh picked herbs:

Roll the herbs up in a paper towel
Label the towel with a permanent marker
Moisten the towel with cold water
store in a plastic bag (unsealed) in the refrigerator
Re-moisten when necessary

They'll last for a week and are infinitely useful.
