Until recently I purposely didn’t own a candy thermometer. I don’t like to make anything that I have to watch over, measure very precisely and cook technically and perfectly, following a recipe exactly. But, that said, occasionally I am up for a challenge. I sometimes hang out with my friend’s teenager when she is out […]
From the chefs at Nani’s: These biscuits appeared on our Thanksgiving menu for the first time in 2008. Yes, I write a menu for Thanksgiving Dinner at home. They were an instant hit. They’re great because they’re pretty easy to put together, yet they make a statement. They pack a savory, herbaceous punch from the […]
This Thanksgiving recipe comes from Backcountry Deli owner David Pepin. Being from New England, the tradition of Thanksgiving is long and memorable. When we developed the Backcountry Deli menu, we knew it was important to include this tradition, right down to the day-after turkey sandwich, which we call The Pilgrim. It has sliced turkey breast, […]
Who doesn’t love bacon? It’s been a favorite ingredient since the dawn of time. And don’t even get me started on pork belly. To finish off our week of Thanksgiving recipes (we will be back Monday with more), here is a simple recipe for pork belly. Use it just like bacon in any of your […]
This turkey recipe comes from Vom Fass Owner Kim Weiss. Her secret ingredient? Using a t-shirt in the cooking process to ensure her bird stays moist. Don’t you love the holidays? Good food and family. During my childhood, my grandmother and my aunts would literally cook for days to make a meal that would be […]
This time of year, I’d rather not leave the house when I don’t have to. So, it’s time to dig through the cupboards to see what I’ve got and pull together dinner without getting out of my sweatpants! Thankfully, I keep a pretty full pantry and refrigerator. This night, I had a bag of locally […]
I’m crawling through sagebrush, stalking my prey. With every slight creep forward, I place my left hand on my rifle, using it as support to lift it, quietly and carefully, then setting it down, just a few inches forward, resting it on the bi-pods. I scoot my legs forward and repeat. I’m afraid to look […]
Though I hate making a big deal of my birthday, I love contributing to the fun of others who are up for celebrating. And nothing makes a birthday more special than a special meal. For the recent birthday I was celebrating with a good friend, something special was in order. She was turning her “scary […]
If you attended the inaugural Shift festival two weekends ago, then you know the first night featured a series of foodie “how to’s.” Chef Kyle Nicholson from Snake River Grill promised us the recipe for the kimchi he taught the crowd to make. Remember to make sure the vegetables are entirely submerged under the brine. […]
Did you know that you can get fresh fish in Jackson almost every day of the week? During the busier months, Seattle Fish Company brings in fresh fish six days a week, and currently is delivering to restaurants and stores in Jackson on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. According to the company’s liaison to Jackson, […]
I recently visited a spa for a few nights. At Rancho La Puerta the food was fresh from the garden for the most part, full of whole grains such as quinoa and farro, and primarily vegan and fat free. It was a bit of a shock to the system and a rude awakening that I […]
A couple of weeks ago, we asked our readers what recipes from local restaurants they want to have at home. One reader said she loved the corn soup that Rendezvous Bistro has been serving all summer. They agreed to share the recipe, so here it is — just in time for the last few regional […]
