Wherein I Overcome My Fear of Frying

Father’s Day dinner of champions: fried chicken (from upcoming @thejoyofcooking; recipe is solid af) with @oldbluerawhoney pumpkin blossom honey & gochugaru, chicken mu (homemade Korean purple daikon pickle), mac & cheese, homemade jojos (blanched, then tossed in Lawry’s, melted butter and melted chicken fat and …

How the Sausage is Made

Still Galloping

Whoa, the article I wrote about the Galloping Gourmet won an MFK Fisher Award! I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve won an @lesdamesintl MFK Fisher Award for my article “Before There Was Guy, There Was Graham,” published in @taste last December. It’s my first food …

How Marmalade Killed the Morning Whiskey

Why did we stop drinking whiskey before breakfast? I tackle the topic for Extra Crispy!

Green Curry

Homemade Thai green curry, made mild for younger palates: handfuls of cilantro (leaves and stems) and Thai basil; galangal, turmeric and ginger; garlic and shallot; makrut lime leaf, lime zest and juice; cumin and coriander; fish sauce, shrimp paste, and palm sugar. It’s simmered in coconut milk with Thai eggplant and long beans. Chile for my plate, plus #hellarice. We ate it with fish for dinner, but I’ll eat the leftovers with tofu. 🌱 💚 🍚 🌱 💚 🍚#thaifood #greencurry #vegetables #green #curry #food52 #summer #f52grams #f52green #bonappetit #homemade #homecooking #greensauce #instayum #instafood #foodstagram #foodphotography #foodporn #forkyeah #buzzfeast #buzzfeedfood #huffposttaste #vegetarian

Congee, Fully Loaded

Further adventures in “rice is totally breakfast:” ginger-scallion congee cooked in good homemade chicken broth with Vietnamese ham, poached backyard egg and bok choy, topped with shaved salt-cured duck egg, fried shallots, chile oil and cilantro. It’s somehow both calming and stimulating, and so satisfying. …

Tuna Noodle Casserole, This Time With Extra “New”

And because I’m completely ridiculous, I turned those beautiful pepper-crusted tuna steaks into tuna casserole-flavored ramen noodles. Flaked tuna and Asian greens (chonggak radish raab from the garden, scallions, and gai lan), peas, and enoki bechamel with @umiorganic noodles. Garnished with chonggak flowers. Anything can …

Shrimp & Grits

Or, “corngee.”

I haven’t posted about it yet, but I’ve been on a bit of a jook kick lately! This one is kind of silly but makes perfect sense: it’s a mash-up of Lowcountry shrimp and grits with greens and Vietnamese-style congee (cháo). I cooked the grits in a ton of gingery chicken stock to make them really nice and loose, seasoned with a handful of minced garlic chives, black pepper and a few squirts of fish sauce, and topped with porky gai lan and leftover buttery New Bae (Old Bay) prawns. Crystal hot sauce on top. 🍲 🌽 🦐#corngee #grits #jook #congee #cháo #shrimpandgrits #prawns #shrimp #lowcountry #vietnamesefood #cajun #greens #food52 #f52grams #foodstagram #buzzfeast #instafood #buzzfeedfood #polenta #homemade #homecooking #southernfood #vietcajun

Golden Borscht with Rye Semmelknoedel

Golden borscht with rye Semmelknoedel, fresh dill, marigolds and lovage blossoms. Last week our @imperfectproduce box included a golden beet so large that I could’ve hollowed it out and rented it for $75 a night on Airbnb. I also had some yellow bell peppers, white …
