One of our favorite restaurants in our area is a very small Italian spot with legit, authentic food. Every time we have food from there (takeout because of COVID) my wife gets the Lasagne al Forno or beef lasagna. It is fantastic and you get a ton. The last time we had their food, I…

Roasted Pork Shoulder, Braised Garden Greens, Sea Island Red Peas and Sweet Onion Puree
I was looking for some unique meals with Sea Island Red Peas. I came across a recipe in Charleston Magazine. Slow-Cooked Pork Roast With Sea Island Red Peas, Garden Greens, & Sweet Onion Purée the last image below is from the article. It just sounded fantastic, especially the sweet onion purée. I’ve made roast pork…
Beef en Croute (Copycat from Sassafras Bistro in Greenville, SC)
The first and only place I have ever had Beef en Croute (De Boeuf en Croûte or Beef Wellington) was at Sassafras Bistro in downtown Greenville, SC. It is my favorite meal of all the great food they dish out. Almost over the top. A filet mignon, wrapped in a herby mushroom duxelle, gorgonzola cheese…
Bucatini all’Amatriciana
A week or so ago I posted a super delicious and very easy recipe for an authentic Italian dish, Spaghetti al Pomodoro. This time I’m posting my absolute favorite super simple and very easy authentic Italian recipe, Bucatini all’Amatriciana (pronounced aa·muh·tree·chaa·nuh). The thing about super simple Italian food is you can’t skimp on the ingredients….
A Meatless Version of the Famous Husk Burger
I recently posted the most amazing burger recipe I’ve ever eaten, Sean Brock’s Famous Husk Burger with Crispy Baked Wedge Fries. I didn’t even finish that amazing burger before I thought, why not do this meatless. For the last several years we have been cutting down on the red meat we eat. Specifically we’ve been…
Spaghetti al Pomodoro
One of the easiest and yet most difficult recipes in Italy is pasta with tomato sauce (Spaghetti al Pomodoro). That is the beauty of real Italian cooking, simplicity. It is true that chefs in Italy, when judging other restaurants, many times order the most simple or common dishes. If you execute a successful dish with…
The Easiest Fried Fish Tacos Ever
I was watching a cooking show on TasteMade. Chef Megan Mitchell was making a fajita bar. I was mildly shocked when she used frozen Gorton’s® Beer Battered Fish Fillets for her “fried fish”. Once I realized they were a sponsor, it made a little more sense. I got to thinking about it and the fish…
Southern New Year’s Day – “Smoked” Sous Vide Turkey, Field Peas, Sweet and Spicy Collard Greens, Crispy Turkey Skin Chips with Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese Cornbread
I’ve post this recipe five years ago (Sous Vide “Smoked” Turkey, Black-Eyed Peas, Collard Greens and Cornbread with Turkey Skin Chips). It was very, very good. I won’t include the whole back story of why I originally posted but here is the why we southerners eat greens and peas at New Year’s. Field peas for…
Chicken a la Clinton (copycat of a copycat) Henry’s in Charleston, SC
I came across this recipe by accident. I was trying to find if anyone else had ever posted a recipe for Seafood a la Wando. I never found one so I made my own up. The good one is here, but I had an earlier, somewhat failed attempt, here. Anyway, I found this I guess…
Roasted Pork Shoulder, Braised Purple Cabbage, Mustard Spaetzle with Blueberry Jus
A year or so ago (pre COVID), on trip to our local food mecca, I had this meal. Providence Farms Smoked Pork Chop, Mustard Spaetzle, Braised Purple Cabbage, Blackberry Jus. Husk Greenville never disappoints and this was no different. I loved the German influence. I decided to try and make a version at home. The…
