Ready in a flash and so full of flavor, this quick fish piccata is all about building big, bright flavors in one skillet. We use our Lemon Lime Salmon Rub on delicate white fish filets and invite white wine, capers and butter to the party – a flavor party! Serve this with a pasta and...
This recipe is a play on Julia Child’s Suprêmes de Volaille aux Champignons – a classic chicken dish with a luxurious sauce. We added umami factor with the addition of our Smoked Porcini Shallot Mustard Blend to season the chicken and Porcini Extra Virgin Olive Oil for sauteeing. While the name of the recipe is...
Classic Neapolitan Pizza is a simple pie with sauce, mozzarella and basil. The crispy texture is another hallmark of this style of pizza. We create a similar version in our Teaching Kitchen with our friends from Rocca Pizzeria. Join us for our Pizza Masterclass soon! Learn to make this classic pizza – once you do,...
Our friend and cooking instructor Lili brought us this fantastic recipe. As you read Lili’s instructions, a very specific mental picture forms as she describes spreading the dough: “as if you’re aggressively playing the piano.” When she teaches pizza and flatbread, she’ll teach you how to shape the dough using your “kitty cat paws.” If...
Dry Brining, aka early salting, we talk about it often in the shop and in our Teaching Kitchen. It’s one of the techniques we teach in our Cook the Book classes that feature Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are the perfect protein for this technique.

Chef Paul Prudhomme was responsible for putting Cajun cuisine on the map in the 80’s with this dish. And he was essentially responsible for redfish being nearly fished out in the Gulf of Mexico! Folks often ask us about blackening fish – is it a spice blend or a technique. The answer is: both. This...
We talk often about brining at Red Stick Spice. Dry brining, aka early salting, is a big part of how we prep many proteins – like Sunday Roast Chicken and even Thanksgiving Turkey – in the Teaching Kitchen. Some cuts, like this pork loin, benefit from a wet brine. The lean nature of many cuts...
Remember that time we retired our Vanilla Dark Balsamic? Big mistake! And that’s why we brought this customer favorite back to the shelves. We often lean on this rich, sweet balsamic for drizzling over berries or finishing off a trifle. But we love this balsamic for savory dishes, too. Perfect for flank steak or big,...
