This weekend, I went (With the Cornell Gourmet Club) to the Penn Food Summit (http://pennfoodsummit.com/). It was Ah-mazing! There was LOTS of food, lots of food discussion, and lots of learning. The conference made me think, gave me some knew insight, and mostly helped appreciate food more (yes, even more than I did before). I had some good debates on topics from sustainability, to vegetarianism, to even the role of celebrity chefs. Plus, I met Deb (of http://smittenkitchen.com/)!!! How awesome is that?!
So yes, call me a dork, call me a foodie, call me crazy, but I. love. food.
Also, get this: there was a FOOD COMPETITION! Actually, my life was made. Our team made a absoloutely delicious sandwich. I shall post the recipe below. Disclaimer: It had fish, so I didn't actually eat it, but I heard it was delicious haha.
Also, I figured out how to use the food setting on my camera (who knew?) I felt so professional!
And the créme de la créme? I got to spend some time (however short) with my (one of two) best friend! :)
So, in short: I had a GREAT weekend, the best I have had in a while. Here are some pictures from the weekend.
So my cool thing will be the recipe for the sandwich (plus the deviled eggs):
Smoked Salmon
Boiled Eggs
Mayonnaise
Pesto (You can make some - using my recipe here if you like, or you can buy some in a jar, or use a recipe you prefer)
Pickle Relish
Sriracha Sauce
Dijon Mustard
Honey
Olive Oil
Panini Bread (or whatever you like. I personally wasn't a fan of the ciabatta.)
Mixed Green Salad
Salt and Pepper
Balsamic Vinegar (White if you can)
Sliced cucumbers and tomatoes
1. This is for the greens that will go in the sandwich as well as on the side as kind of a bed for the deviled eggs. Wash the greens and mix them with the following dressing: Whisk together honey, olive oil, balsamic, Dijon mustard, Sriracha sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss with the salad.
2. For the sandwich. Mix together some pesto with mayonnaise to spread on the bottom (and the top if you like) slice of the bread. Slice the boiled eggs (about 1/2-1 per sandwich) and place them as the first layer of the sandwich. The next layer will be cucumbers. Then will be the slices of smoked salmon (2-3 per sandwich). Then will be the slices of tomato. Top it with the mixed greens and the second slice of bread.
3. For the deviled eggs. After the eggs are boiled, slice them in half LONG-WAYS. Spoon out the yolks and save the whites. Mix the yolks with mayonnaise, some pickle relish and Sriracha. Refill the mixture in to the egg whites. Serve like in the picture above.
ENJOY!
