Recipe Redux: Rib Roast of Beef, 1966

New York Times
Mmmmm, beef!
Cooking beef to the right doneness, especially a wildly expensive cut like rib roast, while also tending to guests, ranks with kitchen anxieties like unmolding a tarte Tatin or killing a lobster. But Ann Seranne, a food consultant and the author of more than a dozen cookbooks, solved this problem back in the 1960s. Craig Claiborne wrote that her technique “is so basic, so easily applied and so eminently satisfactory in its results, the astonishing thing is it is not universally known.” As it still isn’t, I will reprint it here once more. Please tell all your friends the news, so that rib roast can finally have its no-knead-bread moment.
Nice!

Review of Hawksmoor

the grumbling gourmet
Ok, so rocking up at ten on a Friday night after a few lagers wasn’t going to be the best introduction to the meaty joy that should be a night at Hawksmoor but, having been to a recent and successful Steak Club at their older brother in Liverpool Street, at least one of the gang knew what to expect.
We went expecting the finest burgers, perfect post pub fodder, and were drooling at the description of the Third Burger, a rotating option aside their classic hamburger and the Kimchi Burger, a spicy Korean melange attracting Marmite-like attention from the reviewing community. This month’s Third Burger was enthusiastically sold to us by our bubbly server, and promised a topping of pulled pork rib topping the Longhorn and bone marrow patty, enthusiastically moulded from the best the Ginger Pig has to offer.
