My latest homemade power bar, the tahini ginger bar, was inspired by a snack I nibbled on in the spa lounge at the Four Seasons Resort in Jackson Hole years ago. What I was doing in the spa lounge of the Four Seasons, I can’t recall. Nor can I remember who I was with or […]
When the snow is good as it has been, it’s very hard to take time out of your busy ski schedule to cook. So, I like to be efficient and concentrate my cooking efforts into one afternoon. Most people I know who don’t cook don’t cook because they don’t know how to, but time management […]
I am a big fan of the Meatless Mondays concept. This worldwide movement is practiced by people in almost 30 countries and attempts to remove meat from your diet for at least one day (Monday) every week. There are many global and heath benefits to this practice. Cutting out animal products from your diet at […]
Anyone who’s bonked — that abrupt drop in blood sugar that makes you feel dizzy and sick — while out exercising can appreciate the benefit of having a good power bar stashed in your pack. The first time I bonked badly after moving to Jackson I was hiking up Table Mountain with my husband and some […]
I don’t often like to give long, detailed recipes in this column. I find that when a recipe has a lengthy ingredient list and/or really long instructions, it can be a turn off from wanting to make it. This recipe, while longer and in more steps than many others I offer, is well worth the […]
During the holidays there were a lot of special meals in our family. Starting with Christmas Eve, we served a smoked turkey, garlic green beans, macaroni and cheese, relish and chutney and a Honey Baked ham. Then again on Christmas night, we prepared another spread of beef tenderloin, Boursin cheese and kale mashed potatoes, winter […]
Many people live in Jackson for a period of time and then leave to pursue long-term careers that are not always easy to cultivated here. One of my personal favorites, who left a year or so ago to pursue opportunities in New York City, is Andrew Bourke. In Jackson, he was a ski instructor […]
Recently, I went to the grocery store without much of a plan. I knew I wanted to make a healthy soup, as we had recently been on vacation and eating more than our normal share of sweets and indulgent food. This unpreparedness can result in one of two results: leaving the store with nothing that […]
Rounding out our season of recipes from local chefs, we offer you this decadent dish. These lobster nachos from Silver Dollar Grill’s chef Jason Orchard would be a perfect New Year’s Day snack — and since we’re already thinking ahead — perfect for the Super Bowl, too. Served with lobster straight from Maine, these nachos also […]
Shorter days and longer nights can really take a toll on your weeknight momentum. While summer months are filled with after-work hikes and 9 p.m. barbeques, the winter season makes us want to curl up in front of a fire with a bowl of soup and a good book. Even if we generate enough after-work […]
Another great holiday ask for it recipe comes from Jackson’s personal and private chef Scott Nechay. He said this recipe originated from leftovers he had one day, and it’s been a favorite holiday dish of his since. The dish is a crispy duck breast accompanied by a potato/celery root gratin, sesame scented baby bok choy […]
Every family has their own special traditions during the Christmas holidays. Some are new, some are old, some have been passed down from generation to generation. Owner of Trio and Local, Will Bradof, says that his family’s Christmas day dinner recipe comes from The India House Club in New York City and has been in tradition for […]
Are you looking for something special to make for Christmas dinner? Well, over the next three days, we will bringing you recipes from some of our favorite local chefs. But these don’t come from their restaurants. Instead, these are recipes for family traditions. The first comes from the White Buffalo Club‘s chef Will Gahagan. “My […]
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 […]
