Recipe: Clams Rangoon
Clams Rangoon is like Crab Rangoon, but not. (And I’m sure Crab Rangoon was never served in Rangoon to begin with.) I ran across this recipe in an old Yan Can Cook cookbook that was probably a PBS giveaway. Martin … Continue reading
Recipe: Coconut Macaroons
Coconut macaroons are really easy to make if you start with Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk. This recipe is just sweet enough, not overly sweet like the macaroons that taste like candy; I’m adding them to my holiday cookie rotation. … Continue reading

[Want to give somebody the gift of a sourdough starter for Christmas? Then follow this recipe, starting right now!] Dabrownman and Mini Oven, two of the most prolific posters on The Fresh Loaf, have written most creatively about this starter … Continue reading

Recipe: Smashed Salt Potatoes
Salt potatoes are a thing in upstate New York. Stores sell a bag of white potatoes which includes a sack of salt, and charge more than the items would cost separately. Michele, our hostess at Orchard Slope airbnb in Amherst … Continue reading
Recipe: Sichuan Pickled Vegetables
Here is a taste of the treats which await in Fuchsia Dunlop’s Land of Plenty. My only modification was to use wine instead of vodka, since I feared too much alcohol might slow the fermentation. (It got just a little … Continue reading
