These Cheese Enchiladas were our very best seller at the shop, month in and month out. Prep Cook Extraordinaire Todd would come in in the morning, assess the Cheese Enchilada situation in the coolers out front, and get to work. I don’t know exactly how many Cheese...
Everybody I know loves a tomato pie. It’s summertime right now and no one will shut up about it. Tomato pie this, tomato pie that, etc, etc, and then they look at me, and I’m all like . . . What??? I don’t make that kind of tomato pie. Those of you who have been...
Just because a dish has been around for a couple of hundred years, doesn’t mean I can’t fiddle with it, right? The modern version of what we call Eggplant Parmesan appeared in the Italian aristocrat/gourmand Ippolito Cavalcanti's cookbook, Cucina Teorico-Pratica,...
I should warn those of you who are looking for genuine Thai food that this Pineapple Fried Rice isn’t especially authentic. This is a recipe I cobbled together from many different sources, and then adapted it to our US Gulf Coast pantries. It’s delicious, though. We...
I’m still fielding recipe requests, and this recipe has not only been requested, it was the source of much amusement in the catering shop. Meatloaf Cottage Pie is very, very, tasty, please don’t get me wrong. I will happily eat it any day of the week and lots of our...
Not all Creole food is spicy hot, but you can count on it to be well-seasoned and full of flavor, and this insanely easy pot roast is no exception. Laced with Italian seasoning, marjoram, and a hint of ground cloves, I promise you’ll wonder where this pot roast has...
Growing up we had a terrific restaurant in town called The Saratoga Trunk. They had pastas, salads, steaks, and some seafood, but in my mind the real standouts were the burgers. The menu itself wasn’t huge, and I don’t know how many burgers were on the menu, but it...
If you're not familiar with Pickapeppa Sauce, you’re in for a treat. Affectionately referred to as Jamaican ketchup, Pickapeppa is a tangy and mildly spicy concoction--from where else? Jamaica!--that we drizzle on all sorts of things here, from steak to jambalaya....
Spicy Sausage in Tomato Basil Cream has been a house favorite here for many years. Lots of our friends are familiar with it because I’ve served it to dinner guests numerous times. It’s easy to make, it doesn’t take long, and calls for ingredients I nearly always have...
All the home cooking going on this year seems to have sparked a renewed interest in an old Southern staple, the salmon croquette. I’ve seen them recently on cooking shows, I’ve participated in more than one Facebook discussion about them, and even Roy Blount, Jr. was...
Black Bean Enchiladas have been a staple at my house for my entire adult life. I learned to love freshly made Tex-Mex food at the original Winslow's Cafe in Fairhope, Alabama, when I was a kid and I've never looked back. It would be years before we got an actual...
Drip beef, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love the way I can fling a measly few ingredients into the slow cooker and then wander off, oblivious. I love the way you cook yourself--with absolutely no help from me--for hours and hours on end. I love the way...
