Pork belly braised in cider, pears served with a pea puree, cucumber pear salad, chicharones and yogurt foam. If you’ve never made pork belly before – be warned, its a lot of work. When done properly its a three day long labor of love that you’re either going to find so rewarding you’ll be making …

After the pumpkin, butternut squash is the most recognizable culinary sign of the fall. The sweet and slightly Earthy flavor of the squash pairs amazingly with the spice of curry. I love this soup because its incredibly simple to make yet very complex to the taste .

Rock shrimp are primarily used in stuffings, you know -applications where they’re ground up and mixed with tons of flavorless bread crumbs before they are rolled in some flavorless flaky white fish-like meat that some chef at a dinner will overcook and serve for $12 as the blue plate special.

This dish really is a celebration of the tomato. It really brings to light the complexity of the fruit as well as its flavor. This dish will always be best in the height of the summer when tomatoes are at their freshest, sweetest and most vibrant in color. Musical Pairing: Kvelertak – Self Titled. I …
