BRISKET BAHN MI BURGER

The Bahn Mi is one of my favorite sandwiches.  Rich grilled meat topped with fresh vegetables, surrounded by a French loaf with mayo and hot sauce – beautiful.  So why not take these same flavors and try them with a burger?  I love the fattiness of brisket with the fresh, crisp flavors of raw carrot, cucumber, and cilantro.  Enjoy! HOW […]

BROCCOLI ALLA FIRENZE

My first meal in Florence was the best of our entire trip. Was it the fanciest, or most exciting? No. Was the food transformative and eye opening? Not really. But honestly, on a hot day wandering through the Alto Orno, the last thing I needed was an overwrought meal. I wanted something simple, and beautiful, that made me feel like […]

BROCCOLI POLENTA

Polenta is one of those hearty comforts – warm, soft, and so buttery – that even us non-Italians love. For me, I love the texture. It’s like a cozy blanket on a cold day. To add a little bit of substance to my polenta with finely chopped broccoli and a ton of pecorino.  This is a delicious side with roast […]

BROWN BUTTER POPOVERS WITH FIG BUTTER

Popovers are so special to me. I have a Pepe Le Pew reaction to them.  That seductive scent of fresh baked loveliness pulls me into the kitchen. It’s basically pancake batter baked in a goofy muffin tin, but whatever magic happens in the oven and transforms them into crusty/custardy/eggy/savory/sweet balloons of joy. They also have an almost instantaneous life span. […]

BROWN BUTTER SAGE SAUSAGE GRAVY

Sausage gravy is my favorite gravy to make.  Why? Because it’s so easy, doesn’t require roasting an entire bird, and it tastes AMAZING.  Brown butter and sage don’t hurt either. I’m just going to float this idea: the day after Thanksgiving, make breakfast sandwiches with biscuits, turkey, sausage gravy, and an egg. YOU’RE WELCOME. INGREDIENTS 1 pound pork breakfast sausage, […]

BROWN BUTTER SEA SALT POPCORN BALLS

These are a classic halloween treat that seems to be met with groans: “They’re handing out popcorn balls?” But you know what? They’re super delicious.  Sort of like rice krispie treats made with popcorn instead. My version is super simple, just with the added flavor of browned butter and sea salt, but these are fantastic to fold in fun extras.  […]
