Alls this needs is a tea to go with it Concord Grapes. What to do with concord grapes? I have a lone vine growing in my back yard. Last year, I harvested some of its fruit and ended up making jelly. It was thick, but fluid... a near-jelly that is best served with a spoon. This year, I have far more fruit to harvest! Why not try baking them into a scone? Turns out, they pair deliciously with the grape jelly. I'm going to have to get more jars for the 2019 harvest... and bake more of these scones! Of course, because these are grown in my back yard and not some giant farm somewhere, there are seeds. Lots of seeds. It took nearly 3 hours to pit a cup of these bad boys. Is theree some tool to make this faster? Mix ½ cup cooking/baking cream , 1 egg , and 1 egg yolk . Set Aside. Combine 2 ½ cups flour , ⅓ cup sugar , 1 tbsp baking powder , 1 tsp lemon zest , and ½ tsp kosher salt . Fold in 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter and cut until butter is pea-sized. M...

Is it a burger bun without sesames? I never really thought to make my own buns, until my my good friend and maker-extraordinaire  Trevor  posted some of his very own brioche buns. I figured, if I'm hosting a barbecue, then making my own buns means that I control the stack! Burger-style, I baked them close so they baked up touching. There's something satisfying about the tactility of ripping them apart. The recipe I followed recommended eight servings per batch; I would recommend getting a few more and making them smaller. They're pretty, but it's a lot of bread competing with delicious burgers. Mmm... Bacon Bacon is a delicious addition to almost any burger. It would even kick up the veggie burgers that I made, with tofu, black beans, and quinoa. Whether this defeats the purpose depends on the eater I suppose... Grilled corn salad I didn't know what I would be serving at the barbecue, so I flipped though Bon Appétit's 67 Summer Recipes...

If you squint a little, it looks like the Moon A new vegetable that I've never cooked before appeared in this week's food box : callaloo. It's a hearty green from the Caribbean that seems to be not unlike spinach. But bigger. Stronger. More powerful. Jamaican Popeye are this to grow big and and attract women named after oils. Coco perhaps. Wanting to use it at its peak, I found a recipe for quiche . I've never made a quiche before. I don't even really eat quiches. Store-bought ones taste flat and are overpowered by onion. Homemade ones... I almost never come across. Until now! This was a Jamaican-inspired quiche. I guess what makes it so is the all-spice, another thing that's in the kitchen that I've never used. Interesting... I wouldn't be opposed to kicking up the spice in a future quiche, maybe with a scotch bonnet pepper to complete the theme. It was pretty savoury and paired well with a garden salad. Blind bake and cool a crust , whet...

It's got more bite than it appears What to do with oodles of zucchini? I bought some a week ago and I needed to use them straight away. My solution? Noodle them up! I don't have a fancy spiralizer, so I have to use this julienne attachment on my mandoline. Works ok! This dish was surprisingly easy and came together in very little time. I initially didn't make enough noodle concoction – zucchinis really do shrink when cooked. I've adjusted how I made this to make for 4 generous portions, or enough for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. This packed quite a bit of flavour and I didn't need a lot to feel full. It can easily be made without the chow mien noodles or flour, but they respectively add structure to the dish and a thickness to the sauce. A side of Chinese greens would probably balance out the plate! Season chicken thighs with Salt Pepper Poultry seasoning, and Harissa seasoning Grill on barbecue until cooked. While this is grilling away, sa...
