Remix!
I love this. First We Feast asked, “what if your favorite cookbooks were written by rappers?” The result is this hysterical post. I’m a big Ghostface Killah fan and love this AZ’s Field Guide remix. I’d read that book, but according to Killah:

Memories of my Grandmother’s Kitchen By Sean Brock This simple Appalachian recipe for cornbread is inspired by Ronni Lundy. It doesn’t have flour or sugar in it. You can really taste the flavor of the corn. I ate cornbread every day during my childhood. Food like that evokes so many memories. Every time I tear… Read More →

Zuppa Valdostana
A Hearty Soup From the Italian Alps This is my interpretation of a soup my dad and I had in the early ’70s in the Italian Alps. In winter, local families would cook food all day, offering dishes in trencherman-size portions to hungry skiers seeking a seat by a fire and a hearty meal. These… Read More →
Baltimore-Style Crab Cakes
No Need for Filler This is my favorite crab cake recipe. If you don’t overmix and don’t pack your mounds too tightly, you will experience pure, unadulterated crab cake heaven. I like ones that don’t have a lot of filler, no minced red pepper, no parsley—none of the usual crap that chefs typically ruin a… Read More →

Bacon & Onion Tart
My Cure for Cold Weather Blues This is one of my favorites. It’s a bacon and onion filling bound with soft, ripened goat cheese and a ballsy Gruyère, poured fairly shallowly into a delicate pâte brisée. Pay attention while you make the tart crust; it’s one you can adapt for a thousand fillings. Add some sugar… Read More →

Pasta with Braised Pork, Red Wine & Pancetta
A Humble Italian Dish The pork lends this sauce its fattiness, the wine gives a balanced acidity and the pancetta delivers all the wholesome saltiness you could ever want from an ingredient. I like this sauce with tubetti or short mezzi rigatoni, so that it gets into all the holes.
