Quick Pickled Onions

August 10, 2013September 1, 2016 condiments, onions, pickles

I love pickled things. From cucumbers to beets to asparagus, there is something so perfect about a crunchy, salty, vinegary, something. I use these onions on tacos, but they are awesome added to sandwiches or grilled meats. Even my husband, who won't go anywhere near raw onions, eats them up.... Read More

Easy Guacamole

My love of guacamole began just a few years ago. I've always loved the freshness of salsa, but it took a while for the creamy avocado to really call to me. It is not only super fast and easy to make, but it tastes infinitely better than store bought. Boozy... Read More

Porchetta Sandwiches

July 6, 2013September 1, 2016 Italian, Mains, pork, sandwiches

For many years, I had absolutely no interest in making porchetta at home. I had it in my head that "authentic" porchetta required a whole hog, tied and roasted, much too much work (and meat) for me to attempt in my own kitchen. I had eaten porchetta out at restaurants,... Read More

Honey Lavender Roasted Chicken

June 29, 2013October 20, 2016

Honey Lavender Roasted ChickenI've never cooked with lavender before. I'd purchased the lovely dried flowers on a whim. They smelled divine and I had vague ideas of making lavender macarons or lavender ice cream, but once I had them in my possession, I couldn't figure out exactly what I should... Read More

Pomodoro sauce, tomato sauce, red sauce - whatever you want to call it, it's delicious. It's beauty lies in it's simplicity. And that's where so many cooks go wrong. When I want pomodoro sauce, I want the tomatoes to sing through. Don't get me wrong, I love slow cooked red... Read More

Momofuku/Ippudo Inspired Pork Buns

Momofuku/Ippudo Inspired Pork BunsThere is nothing new about pork buns. David Chang may have brought them fame at Momofuku, using pork belly and crisp vegetables, but he certainly didn't invent the dish. In my humble opinion, the pork belly buns at Ippudo are even better, with their spicy hoisin joining... Read More

Filipino Chicken AdoboI've written about Chicken Adobo before. My mom is Filipino and Chicken Adobo is a dish I grew up with. I crave it all the time. The last time I documented a cheater's version, and it did not fully satisfy my craving, so this time, when I made... Read More

Pasta e Fagioli – Pasta and Bean Soup

I love Pasta e Fagioli. I've made quick versions at home using canned tomato sauce and canned beans and I've eaten super authentic regional versions in restaurants, but I've never gone whole hog and made a traditional Pasta e Fagioli at home. Dinner tonight is another Marcella Hazan inspired dish.... Read More
