Via the blog Lifehacker I ran into this post from FoodMayhem.com about a chef making steam-scrambled eggs using an espresso maker. Though I don’t think I would ever cook my eggs this way, the whole concept is intriguing, and I must say the eggs look pretty good.

If you want to try this at home or where you work, I would suggest reading the comments as there are several tips on how best to make eggs this way. There is even a video of Chef Jody Williams making the eggs, so that would also be helpful to watch.

Kudos to FoodMayhem.com for a great story.

The End of Gourmet Magazine

gourmet_magazineI just learned that Gourmet magazine is ending after 68 years of quality food writing. The parent company, Conde Nast, is shutting down Gourmet in addition to three other publications. This is truly a sad day for foodies, but I do hope they keep up a web presence so we still have the benefit of this resource.

Here is an article in the NYTimes about the closure.
