How to Work with Dried Mushrooms
This guide for using dried mushrooms in the kitchen explains how to work with dehydrated, edible, fungi. Many types of mushrooms are only available in their fresh form for a short amount of time each year, so understanding how to cook with the dried version is an important culinary skill!
Celeriac Steaks with Citrus Salad and Horseradish Root
Roasted Celery Root Steak donned with Fresh Citrus and Horseradish Shavings is an unexpected and delicious vegetarian alternative to grilled and roasted meat, that utilizes celeriac in an atypical way (as opposed to the more frequent applications of soups and stews).
Cinnamon and Sumac Roasted Poussin
This recipe for Roasted Poussin with Cinnamon and Sumac produces a tender and extremely flavorful dish that's sure to impress. With bacon and brussels sprouts roasted in the same dish (soaking up all of those spiced poultry drippings), this meal couldn't be easier!
Olive and Pomegranate Tapenade with Persimmon Chips
Tapenade is a salty condiment traditionally constructed with olives, capers, and anchovies. This recipe incorporates pomegranate molasses and fragrant spices to balance that saltiness. It makes for an excellent appetizer, served with feta and persimmon chips or as a stuffing for poultry.
Ginger Saffron Chicken Noodle Soup
A fresh take on classic chicken soup, this hearty soup (closer to stew, really) is made with spicy ginger and fragrant saffron. It's sure to beat the winter chills and warm you from the inside out.
Crispy Cinnamon Roasted Potatoes
It may be surprising, but cinnamon and potatoes work wonderfully together. That festive spiciness lends itself beautifully to that natural sweetness found in roasted root vegetables. Plus, the cinnamon stick contributes additional sweetness and a mild, woody flavor with hints of citrusy notes.
