Recipe: Mock Som Tam (Green Papaya Salad)
Real green papaya can be hard to come by, hence the workarounds. The flavor base of this is very strong and good so experiment until you get a vegetable combination you like. Serves 4-6. Ingredients: 4 c cabbage (½ head), … Continue reading
Recipe: Mari’s Little Lamburger
Adapted from the somewhat mysterious Conspirator’s Cookbook, this provides a very juicy lamburger you can enjoy on a bun or on its own. Serves 4. Ingredients: 1 lb ground lamb* ¼ c chopped parsley (or chopped mint, or a combination) … Continue reading
Recipe: Curtido (Salvadorean-style cole slaw)
Curtido is the slaw that’s served on the side with pupusas (Salvadorean-style stuffed tortillas). It’s a bit intense to eat on its own, but that intensity makes it ideal for any recipe where you want to add the crunch of cabbage … Continue reading
Recipe: Scrapple Croutons
These morsels marry the crunch of a crouton with the porky unctuousness of bacon—what’s not to like? Scrapple is very delicate until it reaches its final cooked state, however, so follow the instructions carefully. ½ pound of scrapple will produce … Continue reading

This is the crunchy condiment found in bahn mi. It’s supposed to be an equal amount of carrots and radish, but carrots are hard to shred so I use just enough for color. Can also be eaten as a slaw. … Continue reading
Recipe: Baked Beans from Scratch
It isn’t hard to make a pot of classic sweet-and-sour baked beans starting from dried beans. This is a base recipe which you might make once, then fine-tune to your preferences on future renditions. Serves 8-12. Ingredients: 1 lb dried … Continue reading
Recipe: Brussels Sprouts with Vinegar
My late father-in-law loved brussels sprouts with vinegar. He’d probably consider the addition of anchovies a nutty stunt, but the flavors go very well together. Serves 4. Ingredients: 1 lb. brussels sprouts 1 T bacon fat 2 salted anchovy fillets … Continue reading
Recipe: Holiday Sourdough with Figs and Hazelnuts
This is a nice bread to serve and give around the holidays—it’s not overly sweet so you can eat it with cheese as well as with butter and jam. Adapted from the non-sourdough recipe in Hamelman’s Bread. Makes two large … Continue reading
