The last time I visited Italy no fewer than three old friends mentioned a potato soup I used to make. I was a little surprised that they still remembered it after all these years. I actually hadn't made it since moving back to the States in 1993. The recipe was from...
Over the weekend I baked biscotti in my Sun Oven for the first time, actually it was the first time I've baked biscotti period; Sun Oven or no Sun Oven. It was a bit of a project and, as with most first time projects, there are a few things I'd do differently next...
Confit may be a way of preserving food, but the batch I made the other day is almost gone, so I didn't get a chance to put it to the test. So far we've had it with pasta (twice), in egg sandwiches along with some of the bacon, and with tonight's twist on a traditional...
