Bread Head
A daringly different zucchini loaf
At Minneapolis's Haute Dish restaurant, chef Landon Schoenefeld has been cooking up a culture clash. Sacrosanct American favorites like pork 'n' beans and tater tots have been elevated with such accoutrements as tomato jam and porcini béchamel. Schoenefeld's recipe for that most prosaic of pastries--zucchini bread--comes back to life as a sweet-savory accompaniment for meat dishes. A jolt of orange zest and punch of caraway and coriander give this loaf its distinctive flavor and make it a very versatile recipe: It's every bit as terrific on the breakfast table as it is alongside dinner.
