Plant nachos, Thanksgiving carbonara, and a really terrible cake-tini.
Salad or plant nachos?
Here are 5 of our favorite things we read this week:
- Salads are basically plant nachos, or so says the vegan cooking blog, Thug Kitchen. [The New York Times]
- As I'm sure you can imagine, Jacques Pepin's last supper with Julia Child was "an embarassment of riches" (and completely delicious). [The Smithsonian]
- When pasta carbonara is good, it's really good (and a perfect Thanksgiving stand-in, according to some). [The New York Times]
- Real chef, Ilan Hall, cooks from Tori Spelling's cookbook. We can't stop laughing. [Eater]
- Gender can divide a kitchen—but it can also be much more about the chefs' personalities than anything else. [Lucky Peach]

Re Ilan Hall's video - while the 'cake-tini' clearly sounds like a repulsive concoction, I'm not sure a fancy chef's snarky ridicule is any less. I have no opinion of Tori Spelling one way or another, but this is way too smug and easy to count as wit. Ugh. Wish this weren't included.
