"You can pop this in the oven if you [want] to," he says, though he notes that he prefers to cook it on the stovetop.

The book, with its bold print, panels of colour and moving photographs, felt shocking. As did the recipes, which seemed both near and completely out of reach.

Sohn-mat is real, and it shows up in the flavors. It is the care, the instinct, the small decisions your hands make without measuring. That is very hard to package.

Garlic scapes are flavorful and versatile flowers that possess subtler notes of alliums like onions and garlic. They can be used in many recipes.

T-bones are cheaper, case closed ... until you take into account what you're actually getting for the bucks you spent. When you buy a T-bone, part of the price (about 25% of it) is a very heavy, dense lumbar vertebra, which is, of course, inedible.
