What The Fork? Salty Recipes!

There's a million food and recipe sites out there on the web. Some you can just pass over, some catch your attention. There there's one who are making foodies and home chefs blink twice at theri screens. It's called What The F**K Do I majke For Dinner. and it's creating a storm. The recipes are good while, the language is salty to say the least.

It was the subject of an article in today's Daily News,(I know, Wednesdays'are usually reserved for the New York TImes Dining section but I wanted to mix it up some). The piece, written by Gina Salomone features chef Zach Golden and his profanity sprinkled dishes. What is neat about the site is that , if you don't like the proffered recipe then you can click on tabs that actually say "I don't f**king like that" "I don't f**king eat meat" or the even more snarkier "I'm not a f**king vegetarian." Mr. Golden also has a book with the same dirty words and no nonsense advice.

The recipes are very good. Golden was a chef and has cooked from a very early age so he does know what he's talking about.(albeit with a spicy spin). There is a Brussels sprouts with bacon recipe that sounds tasty , involving making a vinaigrette with reserved bacon fat and Dijon mustard. He also has his mom's braised lamb shank recipe along with a delicious sounding Swiss chard and scallops one. This last is a novel way of pairing these two ingredients.I'd love to see the book and see what other recipes he has to offer. I'm sure he has takes on everything from breakfast to dessert.

There's nothing like a little dash of salt and spice in any recipe. Mr. Golden offers this in not only his recipes but also his instructions. It makes for forking good reading and some yummy meals.
