Slow cooked pork shoulder makes for some easy weeknight tacos. There’s a thousand ingredients you could smother over crockpot pork but we’re only using a handful to braise the pork and render in to a homemade hot sauce.

What’s your backup plan?
I recently posted on my personal Facebook page that I had a hard drive crash and had sent it out to a data recovery facility. In addition to three years of all my personal and family photos, this hard drive contained much of the food photography I’ve taken for this […]
Dan Dan Noodles
Dan Dan Noodles get their name from the spicy sauce and noodles found on either side of a stick (dan) spanning the shoulders. The merchant would combine the ingredients from each of the two buckets to serve the spicy noodles. What makes Dan Dan Noodles so notable is the combination […]
Szechuan Chili Oil
All the bottles chili oils I’ve tried are dull, often have added flavoring and food coloring, and taste weird to me. Additionally, none that I’ve found have the numbing effect of the Szechuan peppercorn – which is the best part of Dan Dan Noodles. We’re going to have to make […]
Shaved Vegetable Salad
This shaved vegetable salad accomplishes two things. It combines a bunch of complimentary vegetables and briny bits in to a delicious mouth dance and it looks good while doing it! This salad could actually stand alone with no dressing at all (or just a bit of olive oil and lemon juice) […]
Fennel Salad
This Fennel salad would be great any time of year but it’s especially great in the spring. By thinly shaving the fennel in a mandolin and breaking it up in a bowl with vinegar, you can easily eat this root vegetable without cooking it.
Romesco Sauce
Romesco sauce is a seriously underutilized condiment that takes practically no time to make. It’s versatile and easily customized to your own tastes. I’ve had several different kinds; some are thick and smooth like this, others are a little more chunky and herbaceous. If you haven’t entered the world of […]

Hello Grilling Season!! I’ve been waiting a while to make Grilled Flank Steak with a Chimichurri sauce. I like puns and alliteration, and keeping it healthy, so I picked up some Rainbow Swiss Chard to Char on the grill.
Shish Taouk
Shout out to my friend Catherine for telling me about Shish Taouk. Shish Taouk is, from what I’ve gathered, skewered chicken with a wide variety of marinades and accompaniments depending on what part of the world you’re in. As Catherine and I discussed, this particular preparation contains sumac, a wonderful spice […]

Chicken Parm
I really wanted chicken parm and and spaghetti this week. I’m also trying to avoid heavy starches like pasta. Wait until you see what I used instead. This recipe includes chicken parm, tomato sauce, and slow braised asparagus with garlic and lemon. When I told my friend I was working […]
