Trend-O-Meter Says: Bread & Jam Is In (10/16/09)

Who doesn’t love a good bread-and-jam combo? More restaurants are seeing how, done right, it can be a pretty thing on a menu. It was spotted at Culver City, California’s Akasha, where you can choose among breads, including one made from spelt, served with strawberry jam. And also at Duck Fat in Portland, Maine, as grilled brioche topped with your choice of berry jams and mascarpone cheese, Nutella, or peanut butter. And though not technically jammy, in the spirit of the thing: a dessert being served at NYC’s Prune that’s called “butter and sugar sandwiches with raspberries.”

    Being a working mom, I have always looked for recipes that are simple to cook but totally awesome to taste. Since most working moms, wish like I do, I see a trend of dishes that stick to simple and basic recipes. I came across this easy recipe for ‘Chocolate sticky buns’, which I am going to treasure. It’s really simple to make, but tastes fabulous and its my kids new anytime favorite (Secretly, it’s my favorite too). Here’s the link to this lip-smacking recipe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9968IIYmkgI. I found a few more of Chef Mehta’s simple recipes on www.jehangirmehta.com. Chef Mehta has a good collection of such quick and tasty recipes, which I can access online. He has made my day (rather days to come).-COLLAPSE

  • “butter and sugar sandwiches with raspberries.”

    Did they employ an 8 year old as their new executive chef? My mother used to throw a fit when we'd make these...sans the berries of course.

  • Ok, any time bread and jam start hitting restaurant menus the whole foodie thing has gotten waaaay to precious for anyone's good. Really, jam and bread? Sigh.

  • Yeah,its a great for breakfast and also for some snacks too! My son just loves strawberry jam and it is also one of his favourite breakfast!
