Jaime Gross signature Traditional Irish Recipes & Fun Video Footage for St. Patricks DayIrish Coffee 3 15 11 RE Traditional Irish Recipes & Fun Video Footage for St. Patricks DayWhen you think of St. Patrick’s Day, what comes to mind? Corned beef and cabbage? Green beer? Wearing green clothes?

I think of all of those things as well, but around here at the Mr. Food office, I am reminded of a trip that Mr. Food  and Howard, his right-hand man, took to Ireland a couple of years ago. They brought back plenty of photos, videos and some amazing recipes from the areas they visited.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I am going to share some of the videos with you that they shot. (Just click the links to see the recipes and corresponding video.) They all have spectacular views of Ireland, along with mouth-watering recipes from the regions. Perhaps they will inspire you to cook something other than the usual this St. Patrick’s Day in your home.

From the Test Kitchen: Cooking Secrets Meant to Be Shared

Cheesy Easy Risotto RE From the Test Kitchen: Cooking Secrets Meant to Be Shared

My favorite secret ingredient is a must inthis dish...

Patty Rosenthal From the Test Kitchen: Cooking Secrets Meant to Be SharedWhen I was growing up I was taught that a secret is a secret and you never share it, pinky-swear.  When my best friend told me she had a crush on the boy down the street and made me triple-promise not to say anything to anyone, to this day I have never broken that promise.

But growing older I learned that it’s okay to share a secret once in awhile. When you get blamed for eating the last cookie and it was your brother who took the last cookie from the cookie jar, or who sipped the milk right out of the carton.

I run the Test Kitchen here at Mr. Food, and think it’s okay to share some of our kitchen secrets. Secrets like, how to tell if your baking powder is still fresh before you use it, so that you don’t have to throw out your cake when it doesn’t rise. Secrets like that are meant to be shared.

One ingredient that I feel is my secret weapon in a lot of what I cook has to be…

Birthdays, Mr. Food-Style!

By Jodi · Comments (1)
Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

Jodi Flayman signature Birthdays, Mr. Food Style!Scotchie Surprise Cupcakes2 RE Birthdays, Mr. Food Style!I know it’s December and everyone’s mind is on the holiday season, but birthdays - no matter what time of year - should never go unrecognized! And, there’s also the fact that as we age, we tend to say we’d prefer to skip our birthdays – but deep down, we all like to have a special day.

Believe it or not, until recently, we hardly celebrated birthdays at the Mr. Food office! That’s all changed, thanks to our “Birthday Sombrero”! Everyone’s name went into the sombrero, and as each birthday nears, the person celebrating picks a name out of the hat. Whoever’s name is drawn gets to make a special treat of the birthday person’s choice!

Helping Our Local Church on Thanksgiving

Monday, November 21st, 2011

Howard Rosenthal signature Helping Our Local Church on ThanksgivingThanksgiving Howard RE Helping Our Local Church on ThanksgivingBeing surrounded by lots of great food is nothing new to any of us in the Test Kitchen. We know that is not the same for everyone around the country. Yes, we appreciate that we are blessed.

So as we have been doing for the last 4 years, the Mr. Food Test Kitchen Team once again will be rolling up our chef coat sleeves as we run the kitchen at a local church to feed over 1,200 people who aren’t as fortunate.

For us, this is what Thanksgiving is all about, and we’re thankful to have the opportunity to give back to our community through food, which is what we love most.

Home of the Best Potatoes in the World

Idaho 1855 RE Home of the Best Potatoes in the World

Art & I at Bronco Stadium

Howard Rosenthal signature Home of the Best Potatoes in the WorldIf you love potatoes like I do, I bet you would have loved to tag along as Art and I (a.k.a. Mr. Food) went to Idaho this past week. Yep, Idaho…where the best potatoes in the world are grown. We went as part of our quest to learn more about foods that are grown in the “good ol’ USA.”

While we were there, we went over to the Idaho Potato Commission’s office to find out just what makes their potatoes so unique. And although the answer is really more complex than I want to share here, it all comes down to the rich soil they grow in and the ideal growing climate.

Making Hummus with Art

Friday, October 7th, 2011

IMG 0276 300x225 Making Hummus with ArtSarah Schiear1 signature Making Hummus with ArtFriday is a super-fun day at the Mr. Food office.

Then again, every day is a fun day working here. What’s not to love? I’m surrounded by great people and great food all day. More importantly, I am surrounded by great people who love great food. It’s nice to be around people who like the same things as you do, isn’t it?

I think so. And food is an extra-special love to have in common with someone, because food is best when shared.

Are you wondering what’s so special about Fridays here at Mr. Food?
