Recipe: Roasted Red Peppers Marinated with Artichoke Hearts
Roasted Red Peppers Marinated with Artichoke Hearts was a happy accident. We roast and marinate red peppers whenever they’re on sale; this time we had extra dressing and found a can of artichoke hearts in the pantry. The artichokes have … Continue reading
Recipe: Midcentury Chinese Pepper Steak
Elsie Lee says this Chinese Pepper Steak recipe, which appears in her hard-to-find Easy Gourmet Cooking, cannot be improved on. It’s a midcentury classic; if you grew up then you will immediately recognize the taste profile of celery flavored with … Continue reading
Recipe: Hotel Room Pickles
Hotel room pickles happened because we had some nice carnitas and wanted some Mexican-style pickled vegetables (escabeche) to accompany. We’ve noticed the taco shops no longer put out these assortments, probably a COVID casualty because sharing condiments is looked down … Continue reading

Recipe: Galbi (Korean Short Ribs) with Ssamjang Sauce
This is the Galbi (Korean Short Ribs) prep we used for our Galbi vs Bulgogi Taste Test. Serve it with ssamjang sauce (recipe below) and lettuce leaves for wrapping plus rice and your favorite banchan and you’ve got a luxury … Continue reading
Recipe: Cincinnati Chili
Cincinnati Chili is not actually chili in the way we think of it down south; some versions do not even include chili powder. It’s more like the meat sauces with warm, Greek-inspired spices we slather on our hot dogs in … Continue reading
Recipe: Asparagus with Smoked Ham
Asparagus seems to have an affinity for smoked pork…. Bacon, prosciutto or in this case some fine Benton Ham. I added half a preserved lemon but you could also just use lemon juice. Serves 4. Ingredients: 1 lb asparagus, with … Continue reading
