| Description: | Welcome! I’m Joseph Erdos, The Gastronomer of Gastronomer's Guide. I started this blog during New York restaurant week in January 2008. For a long time I had been searching for a way in which to share my musings on food topics with others. This blog became just that. After graduating from New York University with a degree in English and a dream of becoming a screenwriter, I had stints in daytime television, marketing, and nutrition before I realized that food, cooking, and eating had been my favorite subjects all along. In the past I have worked at Everyday Food magazine at Martha Stewart and Columbia University Press, one of the largest academic book publishers. I was and still am continually inspired by countless food books, particularly those written by the father of molecular gastronomy, Hervé This. His passion made me see food in a new and different way. And from him I took a deeper interest in gastronomy, food science, and experimental cuisine. After earning a certificate in publishing from NYU, I turned to the world of blogging and began Gastronomer's Guide. With this site, I celebrate the world of gastronomy in both the simple and elegant forms, from basic home cooking to elaborate restaurant cuisine. My aim is to teach, entertain, and expand the reader's/eater's fundamental experience with food into the extraordinary by exploring science, history, culture, cooking, dining, and eating. With a focus on food-related things to do and see in and around New York, with coverage of events, cooking demonstrations, lectures, readings, and dining experiences, and with my recipe creations, I hope Gastronomer's Guide will become your source for food and culture. Please join me in my gastronomical adventures. |

Pan-Seared Duck Breasts with Pomegranate Jus, Persimmon Salad, and Crispy Thyme Potatoes
Growing up eating roast duck often, especially during holidays, stoked my love for all things duck. Foie gras, pâté, or duck confit, I love it all. It's a rich food in more ways than one. But for the holidays it's worth a little splurge. Most of my family's Thanksgivings were always about the juicy roast duck and not the dry turkey. As the years passed we've held to American tradition and dined

Chilaquiles
For those who love Mexican food, there's nothing better than finding a good Mexican restaurant to frequent regularly. That's because foreign cuisine can seem tough to tackle at home, especially the unique Mexican. But sometimes the craving hits without notice and you want something more than salsa and chips. For me that's when I get the urge to make authentic Mexican food at home. I have yet to

Squash and Honey Pie with Cornmeal Crust
My favorite part about Thanksgiving is always the desserts. Pumpkin pie and pecan pie are my favorites, but squash pie is my personal specialty. But all the Thanksgiving pies are very much American specialties. You can't really find pie as popular anywhere else in the world. The first Americans, the pilgrims, who celebrated the holiday did not automatically think to make pies out of the land's

Unique Wines for the Thanksgiving Table
Choosing a wine for the Thanksgiving table does not have to be as difficult as many make it seem. With the variety of competing flavors of Thanksgiving, it may seem difficult to find the perfect pairing. Finding a wine that goes with everything is key. And there are plenty of wines available in the market that accomplish the task. But you definitely don't want an overpowering wine or a

Cranberry-Quince Compote
No Thanksgiving dinner table is complete without cranberry sauce. Cranberries and turkeys are both native to North America, so it's fitting that they have come to represent the holidays not to mention the wonderful pairing they make. Many of us have become accustomed to the cranberry sauce that slides out of a can. But it's really not that elegant. Cranberry sauce, compote, or chutney made from
