Chicken thigh recipes, tips, tricks, and techniques for home cooks
I developed this recipe for my other food project “The Weekly Menu” after coming back from the farmers market with a. pile of delicious, sort of rare, and very seasonal ramps. If you’re not from a swath of states bordering the Appalachian Mountains (or you’re not a huge food nerd) […]
Duck a l’Orange is fancy. Really fancy. Like, classy old movie, white tablecloth restaurant, waiter with a fake French accent, and Humphrey Bogart yelling “Garcon!” fancy.

We’ve covered Katsu on this site before. The almost impossibly crisp Japanese style cutlet is a favorite of mine – both as prepared in the previous post, but even more so as a sandwich. Oh man, katsu sandos are wonderful. But there’s another common preparation that I left out last […]
Fajitas are the mainstay of every mid-market Mexican joint in America. And they’re not really even Mexican. They’re Tex-Mex, as my father liked to remind us almost every Friday night. He was a big fan of telling us “there were no Fajitas when I was growing up in southern Arizona!” […]
I don’t live in Sweden. It might feel like I’m in Sweden right now. It’s 12 ° F and snowy, but this is Ohio. I’ve never even been to Sweden, unless an Ikea (really, like five different Ikeas) count as having been to Sweden. (They don’t. I know.) But one […]
