Coke Freestyle – Better Than a JetPack

I have seen the future of Soda… and it is glorious! The Coke Freestyle is a soda dispenser capable of mixing a multitude of flavors, up to 104 to be precise, which is exactly what this machine. It uses inkjet style technology to precisely mix together different flavorings. Coke is just starting to roll out […]

Japanese Yam – The Snotty Super Tuber

Ahh… the Japanese Mountain Yam. A most strange and curious tuber, and the one type of yam that can be eaten raw (the orange things you get in super market are really sweet potatoes, not yams). It is a rather bland, lacking any distinct flavor. Its only saving grace, is that it turn a mucousy […]

Roasted Tomato and Pasta Soup

When Luke came home from the farmers’ market with 10 pounds of second tomatoes, we had to figure out something to do with them. Roasting all the tomatoes seemed like a good idea, and then we found this soup recipe in a book cleverly named Soup by Debra Mayhew. It was a pretty quick (besides […]

Salmon Burgers – Tasty Toddler Treats

Our daughter Elena has become quite the little eater. She is definitely good with finger food and prefers to feed herself, but hasn’t quite master the art of using a spoon yet. This presents a little bit of a challenge for us because we don’t usually eat that much food which is easily consumed in […]

Massachusetts Bakes Better Bread

When we visit Massachusetts, we always try to stop by some of the great bakeries there. For some reason there aren’t that many places to get great bread in DC. I am sure some people are going to chime in about Marvelous Market, Firehook, or Le Pain Quandant, and they do turn out decent breads. […]

Greek Shrimp & Feta – Revisited

Last time Carolyn’s parents came to visit, we cooked up a batch of Greek Shrimp with Feta. I had forgotten how good this dish is, so it was great to revisit it. It gets roasted in the oven, and the tomato, shrimp and feta flavors have lots of time to meld. This dish is also […]

Taza Chocolate – From Bean to Bar

Taza turns out some great chocolate in a non-discript building, in the industrial part of Somerville. Carolyn and I checked it out them out while we were up in Massachusetts last December. They make chocolate bars and Mexican style hot chocolate discs. Luckily for us, they had just started up a factory tour and we […]

300 Posts and 5 Years… Now What?

According to WordPress, this is the 300th post on Cookography.  It is also been about 5 years since we started food blogging, first on applyheat.com which fold into the much better titled, cookography. Since we are hitting these milestones and also starting a new year, I thought it would be a good time to pause […]

Super Banilla Yogurt Pancakes

Necessity is the mother of invention…and sometimes really great dishes. This dish came about because we were low on milk and couldn’t go without it in out coffee. So instead of sparing some to make pancakes, we followed Mark Bittman’s advice and tried using yogurt instead. We didn’t use any old, ordinary yogurt though…we used […]

DC French Fries are Global Celebs

If you ever want anything interesting to happen to you… leave anything with a camera in it at home. It seems to work without fail. I stopped by the Eat Wonky Truck (see my earlier post on their Fabulous Fries) and a got a Wonky Dog (an all-beef Hot Dog covered in Poutine).  Of course, […]
