I ate the Taco Bell Mexican Pizza (so you don’t have to)

Recipe: Blackened String Beans

Recipe: Mystery Mayo
Mystery mayo is something you’ve never had before but if you like the surprise element of tomato jam on sandwiches (sweet yet tangy) you will be a fan. It was inspired by a grape jelly doenjang dressing featured in the guest … Continue reading

Recipe: Pickled Shiso (Perilla)
Pickled shiso, aka perilla, is a popular component in an array of Korean banchan appetizers. You can get it jarred, or in the deli case of your Korean market, but it’s much better when made with fresh shiso from your … Continue reading
Recipe: The Bear’s Braciole
Chef Courtney Storer, sister of the show’s producer, generously shared a recipe for this Italian “family meal” dish which was prepared before our eyes in the 6th episode of The Bear. I’ve made some tweaks which I humbly believe will … Continue reading
Recipe: Shiso Coleslaw
Shiso Coleslaw, why not? The original recipe used Napa cabbage but it’s nicer to use red cabbage for the red/green contrast. The “beefsteak” notes of shiso work particularly well here but I think fresh mint or basil might work too. … Continue reading
