Young squirrel is good simply quartered and fried. Old squirrel is good stewed. When in doubt, it is safest to braise or stew a squirrel. Sometimes, for flavor and for whimsy, I like to add acorns to this recipe. Native Americans used to eat acorns, usually by grinding them and then boiling them. They are…

There are so many wonderful bakers out there and I can't say I am one of them. I'm more of a fly by the seat of your pants person in the kitchen. I have good instincts from being trained by lots of stern French chefs but I can't say I have ever been a masterful…

This is day 2 of my "Thanksgiving Revisited" series... a tad late but my airplane to New York didn't have wifi, gasp, the outrage!I have a pumpkin fetish, I bought so many this year just to look at. And I like a good pumpkin dessert as much as the next girl. But I think we…

In case you missed it, or if by some small chance you don't know about The Pioneer Woman, (is there anyone left on the planet that doesn't know about The Pioneer Woman? I think they even frequent her site from the space station) I posted a lovely recipe for one of my favorite salads --…

I could show you this fully finished step-by-step recipe a few months from now, [scroll down, I've added the finished steps!] but what good would that be if you had to wait many months for dandelions to come back around? So instead, I'm going to give you the recipe and show you the step-by-step up…

Quick! Take to the front yard. Or the back yard if you prefer.It's wild garlic season, and in another month it will be much too hard to pull up.They look vaguely like a bunch of chives, though decidedly more hearty. There's something woody looking about them at the base. They will smell faintly like garlic…

I used to think of it as the strange stuff I'd see in strange gas stations on my strange cross country road trips. It was usually in stick form, a long tubular stick, wrapped in a coating of plastic, with a peculiar name like... Slim Jim, not because it made you slim, but because it…

I'm at the airport again. I think I am now officially on a first name basis with many airport security people around the country. They have my x-ray on hand to refer to, which expedites things nicely.While I'm sitting here though, I thought I'd tell you about my favorite hot sauce recipe of late. It's…

One of the questions I get most often from interviewers is "what is your favorite wild animal dish?"I always describe this one.From the first moment I tasted it, it earned itself a special place in the crevices of my mind.This is a whole wild hog, marinated for days and then smoked for many hours.There is…
