Apple Cider Slaw
I have never been a fan of coleslaw because all I can really taste is the mayonnaise. However, after trying the apple cider slaw with Barmarché‘s crispy bass taquitos in soft-shelled flour tortillas with guacamole and pico de gallo… I realized not all slaws were so bad. Slaws in general are basically salads composed of … Continue reading

Gourmet Game Day
I am not much of a sports fan… I mean I enjoy playing sports but I am a fairly apathetic spectator. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the only sports I did were pretty boring to watch, such as crew or swimming… However, I am clearly a fan of food, so … Continue reading
Mushroom Duxelles Sliders
When preparing the menu for our “Gourmet Game Day,” I was psyched to make sliders. It should be noted that I had never made sliders before — I had never cooked regular-sized burgers for that matter. Also, I am not any kind of burger connoisseur as many of my male friends are, but I do appreciate … Continue reading

Garlic Soy Chicken Wings
In honor of the BCS Championship (I was rooting for Oregon, if anyone cares), I decided to make some chicken wings to accompany beer and legitimize the game watching. I researched various recipes, trying to minimize the unhealthiness of the dish. I came across this one, which was essentially just baking with spices, and decided … Continue reading
Pasta with Smoked Salmon & Peas in a Dill Cream Sauce
We had a good amount of crème fraîche leftover from the Chicken and Artichoke Fricassée with Morel Mushrooms recipe, and as we were fairly new in cooking this particular ingredient, we were a bit stumped as to what to do with it. As the expiration date loomed near, I started searching all over the internet … Continue reading
