Recipe: Mediterranean Okra Stew
My friend Suzanne has been supplying delicious okra in late summer, creating the good problem of finding new ways to cook it. This Mediterranean okra stew recipe is from the New York Times and makes a bonus amount of gravy … Continue reading
Recipe: Chicago-Style Beef for sandwiches
Chicago-style beef for sandwiches is a big winner: rich, beefy, juicy and fall-apart tender. Drench it in jus, add some of our Chicago-style giardiniera and maybe a bit of provolone, and you’ve got just about the perfect sandwich. Ingredients: 3 … Continue reading

Recipe: Onion Jam
I wanted to reproduce the Divina Onion Jam I bought at Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco and was mostly successful. This stuff is intense; use it sparingly on a sandwich or serve on a charcuterie plate with a nice runny brie. … Continue reading
Recipe: Crab and Corn Fritters
Why dilute perfectly good crab meat with cracker crumbs when you can make Crab and Corn Fritters? This recipe is particularly good right now, when fresh corn is in season. Makes about 20 fritters. Ingredients: Corn kernels from 2 ears … Continue reading
Recipe: Avjar Red Pepper Spread
Avjar is a condiment used through the Balkans made with ground red peppers plus some eggplant to stretch the recipe. Serious Eats did an exhaustive experiment to find the best avjar recipe and we followed their method. The result was … Continue reading
