Recipe quick take: SeriousEats’ fresh corn chowder
Tonight I did J. Kenji López-Alt’s corn chowder from SeriousEats. I bought some fresh corn at a farm stand, and it made a quite tasty light dinner. (Dinner had to be light because the sandwiches and the cookies at the … Continue reading
The Recipe Pointers Just Keep On Coming
This batch finishes off all of the cookbooks that I currently have on hand — at least those that I thought worth extracting the interesting bits from. There are still plenty of other cookbooks that I use more as reference … Continue reading
