"Spontaneous Cuisine" is just a fancy French term for wandering around a market without planes preconceived seizing anything that looks attractive, then return to the kitchen to create a meal in a kind of culinary consciousness flows. It is a very fun way to cook. Furthermore, I'm sure there are a few soccer moms out there reading this right now thinking, "wow, I do it like 5 times a week ... so it is what it is called! " And you thought you were just rush through the grocery throwing items in the basket.
for my wife Michele and I, this approach "Spontaneous Cuisine" has been applied quite delicious in a recent picnic lunch we enjoyed in the beautiful Dolores Park. It ended up being a meal for two dishes. The items were taken on 24th Street in Noe Valley, on the same footing as I wrote about in the post Farmers Market.
The first course was spicy chicken served in the heart of romaine lettuce cups with fresh cilantro. We bought a pint container of some wonderful chicken stew in a small Taqueria. He was falling-apart-tender and cooked with onions and peppers in a light but fiery, tomato and chilli sauce. This location also served as source for our plastic silverware, napkins, and a small plastic cup chopped fresh cilantro.
We finished this double-dishes with some "freshly baked" walnut bread topped with cream Mozzarella Di Bufala Campana (Italian cheese Buffalo Mozzarella) and slices of perfectly ripe market peaches farmer. the juicy sweet golden fish with slightly white piquant cheese snow, the dense walnut bread was truly amazing. It would have been a great picnic without the view but eat with the San Francisco skyline as our backdrop comes to taste all that much better.
