CALL for ENTRIES: LBIF Small Works

Posted on October 7, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

LESS please

You know I love tiny foods. We’ve talked about micro greens, baby vegetables and amuse bouche more times than I can count; however, sometimes a smaller size is just practical. I am addicted to spaghetti squash, and I am constantly on the hunt for the smallest one I can find. How much food a spaghetti squash produces is just crazy. This next Call is all about size…regardless of the reason. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Phone-Ography

Posted on October 5, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

FOUR-ALARM
dinner

I used to live 12″ from a firehouse in Downtown Charleston. The kitchen shared a wall with the firehouse. If there was an alarm while I was cooking dinner, I had to hang on to the pots on the stove and the glasses on the counter to prevent crashes. The gallery sponsoring this next Call has had a much better experience with firehouses. Take a look…

LAZY NIGHTS

I had salmon “en papillote” tonight. Fear not, it just means “in parchment”. Contrary to what you might think, it is not the French-cool-factor that leads me down the path of parchment cooking. (Okay, maybe a little.) The real reason is because it is healthy since it requires so little fat. Okay, that’s a lie too. The truth? There is virtually no cleanup. No dirty saute pans. Yep, laziness has lead to French cooking. Go figure. This next Call is all about the paper too. Take a look…

LET IT
breathe

Is it too early for mulled wine? Don’t tell me that you don’t know what mulled wine is either. It is usually a great red (I prefer merlot), gently warmed with mulling spices–usually allspice, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, star anise and various dried fruit peels. Try it; you won’t be sorry. This next Call may be best read with your own glass of wine. Investigate…
