here's the latest addition to my pantry staples...sherry vinegar. i thought i had quite the stash of vinegars and felt well prepared for most recipes. red and white wine vinegar, raspberry, balsamic, malt, apple cider, rice wine vinegar...i really thought i was covered.
UNTIL i discovered the food beauty that is momfuku. i know, i feel like i'm saying a bad word when i say it too...anyway. i bought their cookbook recently and have been trying to figure out how to get my stomach to NYC ever since. and i'll be honest. the recipes in this cookbook take time, lots of time AND some pretty uncommon ingredients.
but when i read a recipe that called for sherry vinegar i was intrigued. i finally found it at a local grocery story and when i brought myself to get over the shock of it's hefty price tag, i bought it. that was about a month ago. and the bottle is almost empty. i can't get enough of it and use it anytime i can.
so there's a little trick. a not so common ingredient to mix things up a bit. you can make the investment and thank me later.

Wonderful blog, Callie! I'm heading to the FIND workshop in October and I keep hearing wonderful things about your food!
I LOVE to cook and am definitely going to try these recipes. You should consider offering cooking classes... I know I'd be there in a heartbeat!
Coming to comment! I can't believe I haven't been here in so long, and that I haven't commented when I have come.
Remember that one time in Las Vegas when I joked around about "Kimmie and Callie-a"? I am not joking so much anymore. I just might do it!
Mouth watering, and you are the raddest. xo
I just got Momofuku for my birthday and I am in love. Totally.
Nice blog! I love to cook during my free time and I'll try your recipes.
