Stories with recipes

Sharing is caring.

I read cookbooks for ideas and inspiration, cadge recipes from my favorite chefs and freely share mine with friends (who generously return the favor). Here, find a sampling of favorite recipes from my Seattle Times Taste column and All You Can Eat blog.

Chefs everywhere make their own creme fraiche. Me too. So should you. 

​Why kvetch about lousy store-bought bagels. Try 
these. 

​Quick! Make this garlicky Spanish-style shrimp!
​
Buttermilk dinner rolls: the gift that keeps on giving.

Did you ever wonder how to make red wine vinegar? Well, meet my mother.

It's a wrap: Judy Fu's jiao-zi (Chinese dumplings), from scratch.

And, while we're on the subject: as the queen of condimentia, I say Chinese XO sauce is king.

Dancing to a different drumstick, I super-sized a recipe for Buffalo wings.

What? You want healthy? I gots. Try this great trick with collards.

I like to eat raw oysters undressed. But yours should wear a top.

Hot out? Have this dill-ish-ous chilled cucumber soup. Hey. I'd eat it for dessert.

A move to the Northwest turned me on to a New England staple: Anadama bread.
