Montreal vinegar slaw is just what you need to cut the fat when you are eating Montreal smoked meats (a version of pastrami, though I don’t think you are supposed to call it that) and poutine as served at a … Continue reading
Recipe: Chinese Coleslaw
Chinese Coleslaw is adapted from the Omnivore’s Cookbook. It’s a good side dish with Chinese and Thai mains which contain similar ingredients like Chinkiang vinegar, cilantro and sesame oil. It contains very little salt so it doesn’t cure over time … Continue reading

Recipe: Soba Noodle Salad with Tahini Dressing
Cold soba noodle salad is a nice change of pace from macaroni salad, especially when served with other Asian dishes. Feel free to modify it with other mix-ins such as red onion replacing scallions, or some finely chopped celery. Serves … Continue reading
Recipe: Improved Fried Okra
For such a versatile vegetable, fried okra generates a lot of controversy. Soak in buttermilk for tenderness, or coat with beaten egg so batter will stick? Dredge in flour for a uniform crust, or cornmeal for a pleasing crunch? How … Continue reading
Recipe: Southern-Style Collard Greens
If you ordered collard greens (or mustard greens or turnip greens) at the now-defunct Highland Park Cafeteria in Dallas, the server would ladle them into a little bowl and add several spoonfuls of the pan liquid. This is the beloved … Continue reading
