Episodes » Episode 48: Scott's Pizza TourIf you're traveling to New York and you check yelp.com for suggestions of activities in which to partake while you're here, the number 1 tour they suggest you take is Scott's Pizza Tour, led by Pizza Enthusiast, Scott Wiener. Along with knowing all the important pizza landmarks and best places in the city to get a slice, Scott knows just about everything about the art of pizza production, and I honest to God mean EVERYTHING!
Watch Scott in today's episode and you'll understand
why we had to have him on the show. He's truly
hilarious and a wealth of information. In today's
episode, he teaches us how to turn our trusty rental
oven into a brick oven pizza machine by recreating the
effects of a $50 pizza stone for just $7!

Episodes » Episode 21: Fettuccine with meat sauceHello all! It's been a huge week here on Economy Bites. We've finally got our show up on iTunes, and we now have #3 podcast in the food category. Woo hoo! To top it off, abc Sacramento news10 aired their interview with us this past Monday. Like I said, HUGE WEEK.
Back in kitchen studio, we've been quietly recipe testing (OK, more like loudly burning things) and approving new episodes for the comming months. After watching the one above, I thought maybe you'd want to know the actual names for the techniques I used in the episode...yes, I do know a few. So here they are, some real live culinary terms that relate to today's show:
- mise en place: the organizing and arranging of ingredients before cooking begins. In this episode the carrots, onion and celery are my mise en place in today's episode.
- julienning: is what I did to the carrots when I sliced them into rectangles, then into slices, then into sticks. I believe in the video I say I'm turning them into matchsticks.
- brunoised: when I turned my julienned carrots 90 degrees and diced them into tiny little cubes
Tada! I know things, and now you do too. Just wanted
to get that out of the way so in the future when
people say, "Allie, you never give us any good, actual
info about the culinary world," I can be like,
"AHEM..."

Blog » Urban Farming!Hello, E. Bites Fans! It's been a very busy week here in the land of internet-cooking-television. We've barely had time to tie our shoe laces let alone blog. Thankfully, however, the pace of my week is slowing, and I have some time to tell you about the Urban Farming Workshop Ben and I attended this weekend!
