Bake it til you make it

Hook. Line. And Simmer

So for those of you privileged enough to watch my latest videos, you know that in the first part I give a mea culpa of sorts to food stylist, Victoria Granof. The apology came as a result of her contacting me over a year after I made a video that referenced a Bon Appetit magazine cover that she styled.

In the video I said something to effect that the styling and the cover looked as though it belonged on the menu board (not bar, but I suppose I should enunciate on my, uh, cooking show) at Sparro's.

Anyway, Victoria and I exchanged emails, I told her I enjoyed many of her covers and that I would issue an apology. She was more than gracious and said that she would post both videos on her blog, that any publicity was good publicity and we left it at that.

Well shortly after I released my video(s) I sent Victoria an email stating that my "mea culpa" was up and thought nothing of it...

That was until I went to her blog, www.ALongHotSimmer.com,  and noticed I had been duped by the food stylist extraordinaire (after all, she did style the cover that won this year's "Most Delicious Magazine Cover" by the American Society of Magazine Editors)

Not only did she not put up my apology video, she put up my original video and wrote that I said "nasty things about [her] on [my]...uh...video cooking show".

Additionally, one of Victoria's readers, Martha,  goes even further by writing

    I think I need to say nasty things to you for making me watch that video. Euw! I was expecting it to turn to porn any minute.

So what is the lesson to be learned in all of this, boys and girls? Well, either don't say "nasty" things about a food stylist or if you do and that food stylist contacts you, proceed with caution lest the food stylist traps you like a big hot sticky mess of lasagna on a paper plate at Sbarro's.

Jon-Marc's Deep Dark Chocolate Cheesecake

The Raphael Miranda Peanut Butter Mousse Pie , Parts One ( I ) and Two ( II )

****NOTE: Jon-Marc mentions many times that Raphael Miranda will be on the morning "Today in New York" the 24th-26th of June. This is wrong. Raphael will be on Monday the 22nd through Wednesday the24th of June, 2009. We apologize for the confusion****

 Here, my fellow bakers, is a two part video of a pie I made in honor of Raphael Miranda, my bff and  a meteorologist on WNBC in New York. The recipe, as well as the second video is after the jump. The original name of this pie was the Black-Bottom Peanut Butter Mousse Pie, found in the August issue of Bon Appétit, my favorite magazine. In the two videos, you will see why I renamed it.
