RED WINE VINAIGRETTE
This vinaigrette is a take on Julia Child’s classic vinaigrette with its very low acid to oil ratio. Julia did not employ the ratio of 3 parts oil to 1 part acid in her vinaigrette. She preferred to leave the acidity low and the decision to add more acid to the cook. You can always...
NO KNEAD ROSEMARY FOCACCIA WITH CYPRUS SALT
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...

SMOKED TEA UDON NOODLES

For store owner Anne, chef turned tea aficionado, approaching tea from a culinary standpoint was a natural fit. Tea adds complexity and pleasant bitter layers. Teas is also a way to squeeze in extra wellness properties into a...
TARRAGON CHICKEN SALAD
This simple and fresh chicken salad is a great way to kick off springtime. We love the flavor of tarragon in our Savory Steak and Chop. It’s especially nice paired up with a garnish of fresh tarragon. You can easily roast chicken breasts or even grab a rotisserie chicken and skip the poaching. But if...
