Nam Phrik Num
This is a spicy Thai chili condiment that is used as a dip for fresh and steam vegetables, soft boiled eggs, and pork rinds. Traditionally made with a mortar and pestle but can be made with a food processor.
Smoked Salmon & Scallion Cream Cheese
A great tinned fish recipe for beginners. Simply combine whipped cream cheese, smoked salmon, scallions, and seasonings to create a schmear that can go on bagels, crudités or crackers.
Beef Bourguignon
This is my take on the classic French beef stew using Julia Child as my North Star! Tender bits of beef chuck are simmered with a flavorful wine sauce that is spiked with an ultra rich demi-glace.
Japanese Omelette
My husband and I have come to love the rolled omelettes of the Japanese variety, known as tamagoyaki. Tamagoyaki is a key component to a multi-dish Japanese breakfast often served with natto (fermented soybeans), miso soup, and a filet of grilled fish.
Biscuits & Gravy
This is a classic, hearty Southern breakfast item — perfect for a holiday breakfast when there’s no work to be done afterwards because you will need a nap.
