Kitchen Geeks

Well, let's dust this blog off with a link that just came to me from Andy. Posted over at the Journal Sentinel website is an article detailing a set of Obama Family recipes (or have otherwise been attributed to them). Our new commander-in-chief is many things, but he definitely seems to be a fan of simple cooking.

In particular, I nodded in approval at the chili recipe for its use of not just a great range of aromatic spices and herbs, but for the use of red wine vinegar too. I use this in a lot of my cajun/creole recipes, such as my red beans and rice recipe, to add a little hint of red wine with the tartness that the vinegar provides.
