Recipe: Peach cobbler as you’ve never seen it

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 11:26:19 GMT

Whether it’s a fancy apple tarte Tatin, a robust pineapple-ringed upside-down cake or a saucy flan, there’s something thrilling and suspenseful about turning your homemade dessert on its head.Any of these acrobatic dishes would taste fine served right-side up from the pan. But it’s that stunning reveal that adds a little drama and puts the fruit right on top, where it can shine.That’s the inspiration behind this upside-down peach cobbler.In traditional peach cobbler, you mix peaches with sugar and sometimes butter, hide them with rounds of biscuit dough, and bake. Spooned out of the baking dish and served in bowls, the cobbler’s modest simplicity is part of its charm. But, however delicious this might be, it doesn’t do much to show off the peaches.Throw in a gilding of caramel and an elegant flip, though, and you’ve got a confection to win oohs and aahs.Most of the effort of this recipe goes into simmering the caramel, which is what makes this truly special. Caramelizing sugar deepe...

A familiar Denver chef is back with an upscale omakase restaurant

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 11:26:19 GMT

Chef Duy Pham almost left the restaurant industry altogether when he departed from his executive chef role at For[a]ged in the Dairy Block three months ago.“I’m kind of at that age where I need to do this because I love to do this. or I need to do less of it before I no longer like the industry, which was where I was headed,” he said.Luckily, the Vietnamese chef, who rose to local restaurant industry fame in his 20s while working for now-shuttered restaurants like The Normandy and Tante Louise, decided to stick around. Pham has now partnered with restaurateurs Steve and Jessie Liu on a third Hana Matsuri, a Japanese fusion restaurant with locations in Westminster and Lakewood.But Pham has put his own flair on the new spot, which opened last month at 658 S. Colorado Blvd. in Glendale. He’s started an omakase program (only at this location) for $150 per person with 20 or more rotating items on the menu each night, depending on what fresh fish and seafood he can get his hands on....

This Denver hummus popup has people craving each silky bite

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 11:26:19 GMT

Brady Weinstein is on a mission to change how we eat hummus. (Pronounced, he says, with a guttural HOOM-us.) At his semi-weekly popup — a one-man hummus show he calls Hummus Capara — Weinstein will school you on eating hummus warm, as a meal and with a spoon. (Don’t even think about eating it straight from the fridge, with your baby carrots and celery sticks.)Brady Weinstein is the man behind the one-man show that is Hummus Capara in Denver. (Provided by Brady Weinstein)“Most likely, unless you’ve been to the Middle East, you haven’t had hummus like this,” the musician-turned-hummus devotee said. “It’s not the hippie granola hummus you find at your farmers’ market. I’m trying to make it like you’re blindfolded and eating it where it comes from. I always tell people, ‘You’ve just gotta try it, man.’”Weinstein is quick to point out he’s aware of the almost absurdity of being a white American Jew from Houston, Texas, trying to make the type of hummus you’d eat in the ...

Dumpling pizza is now a thing in Denver. Will it catch on?

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 11:26:19 GMT

Gyoza pizza probably isn’t something you’ve seen — or eaten — before. But it is, in a way, exactly what it sounds like: a deconstructed dumpling that uses fried gyoza dough as the crust and an assortment of traditional (and not-so-traditional) dumplings, fillings and sauces as toppings.“People here in America love dumplings … we serve a lot of gyoza at (Daughter Thai),” said Ramintra Korkerd, the manager of Gyoza Pizza. “You guys also love pizza. So, we thought about combining (them) together. It looks like pizza, it’s the same idea.”For instance, Spicy Tobiko Gyoza is made with a water pan-fried crispy skirt gyoza, along with a cheese blend, spicy mayo, a tobiko and seaweed sprinkle, shitake mushrooms, and pork, or chicken. It is served with sweet black soy sauce, cilantro ginger sauce and chili oil.The concept is the brainchild of the owners of Daughter Thai, a popular four-year-old restaurant in the River North Art District. But Gyozo Pizza operates entire...
