WATERMELON TOMATO GOAT CHEESE + CHILI SALAD

Watermelon is one of my all time favorite things. Sweet and crisp, juicy but never cloying, it’s quite possibly the perfect summer snack.  It wasn’t until recently that the whole “savory watermelon” thing occurred to me.  There’s pickled watermelon rind in the south, small chunks tucked away in spicy latin ceviches, and that feta salad that I’ve had at practically […]

WELSHRAREBIT

A big hit in the early 1800s (apparently, and I’m not being facetious here, the Welsh of the 18th and 19th centuries were known for their love of roasted cheese), Welshrarebit came back in favor from the 1920s to 1940s. Why something like roasted cheese would ever go out of style, I don’t know, people are monsters. I recently discovered […]

WHITE CHOCOLATE MATCHA LATTE

You can scale it up or down depending on how many people you want to serve, and could even turn […]

YERBA BUENA CHICKEN SANDWICH

Yerba Buena is a mint-like herb that grows rampant in the Southern Californian countryside. It’s not popular now, but back in the day…like, before the Spanish even showed up, it was used in native cuisine for its peppery, citrus flavor and menthol notes. While scouring my vintage cookbooks, I came across a recipe for a Yerba Buena sauce in Helen […]

YOUR “WELL D’UH!” MOMENT: PROSCIUTTO + MELON

Prosciutto with melon is a classic Northern Italian dish, pairing earthy, melt-in-your-mouth, and mysteriously musty and sweet dry-cured ham with peak of the season melon. It’s a dynamite combination and the perfect no-brainer appetizer. I’m just here to post this friendly reminder. But if you really want to knock people off their socks, here’s how you do it: Choose a […]

YUZU SHORTBREAD COOKIES

The simple sweetness of shortbread cookies make them a fantastic canvas for additional flavors. Spices, florals, honestly almost anything, can be folded into these tender, delicious cookies. Today I thought it would be fun to add my favorite bright and savory flavor, usually found in sushi: yuzukosho. If you haven’t had it, yuzukosho is a Japanese paste made from fresh […]
