Thai Chili Vinegar, our #3 top recipe post of 2022.
In celebration of our 10th anniversary, we’re sharing the posts that have attracted the most clicks over the past year. Today, the top five recipe posts. What’s interesting to me is how simple these choices are…. In 3 of the 5 cases you’re just throwing together a few ingredients. Ok by us…. This blog was founded on the precept that cooking should be fun, with big flavors, and not overly complicated.
- Recipe: Halal Guys White Sauce. What else would you expect to find in the top position? Simple, like we said, to the eternal disbelief of those who have fallen prey to the behind the scenes drama concocted by Kenji and the Halal Guys themselves.
- Recipe: The Colonel’s KFC Three-Bean Salad. An exception to the simplicity rule: the ingredients aren’t exotic, but you have to be careful with technique and measurements if you want it to taste exactly like the Colonel’s bygone favorite. And it will! Just got a request to make a big batch this weekend for an end of the season picnic.
- Recipe: Thai Chili Vinegar. This is the stuff you find on the table in every Thai restaurant in the world… coming soon to your home table. Quick, easy, and just 3 ingredients not counting the sugar and salt.
- Special Recipe: Bone Bread. Not sure what to say about this one. It’s not that simple and a bit ghoulish, a tip of the hat to a dark period in French history when bakers ground up their dead to make bread. Fortunately, we’ve come up with a workaround that may remind you of the “stone soup” you may have made in kindergarten. Happy Halloween!
- Recipe: Vinegar Peppers. Vinegar peppers are a big deal in the Italian red sauce places in upstate NY. You can buy them jarred but they’re expensive so why not buy green bell peppers on sale and make your own? Then you can enjoy classics like Pork Chops with Vinegar Peppers and Chicken Riggies.
Notice anything missing? How about Recipe: Vincent’s Garlic Cole Slaw, the perennial favorite from a Dallas seafood place that used to be our #1 recipe by a country mile. Maybe everyone who wanted the recipe has downloaded it and stuck it in their recipe box? If you want to see other stalwarts that have fallen, do a search for “top recipes” or some such and see what you come up with.
