Grilled Fish

To pull together a meal off the stovetop, I combine marinated fish with my favorite trick for couscous. Learn to make North African-Inspired Grilled Fish and Pour-Over Couscous.

Of all the foods I throw on the grill, fish is probably the easiest for other people to recognize. If you have a high-quality piece of freshly caught fish, a little lemon, salt, and pepper may be all you need to make it grill ready. But I find that approach works best if you’re following my dad’s mantra: “You catch it, you clean it, you cook it, you eat it.” These days, I apply that philosophy to…

BBQ chicken thigh marinade - you need to try this

We here in New Hampshire tend to BBQ all year long. We try to spend as much time outdoors as possible from being indoors for the last 3-4 months. I can also attest to cooking outdoors in pouring rain, freezing temperatures and even during a snowstorm. Not always because I wanted to but if we lose power my oven will not light.

In case you haven’t noticed, I love the flavor of smoky chilies. I buy cans of chipotle chilies for my favorite salsa. I also home-smoke homegrown chilies to dry or turn into paste and then use in everything from spiced nuts to cheese dip to fish cakes. In my pickling cookbook, I recommend Fresno chilies in many recipes because of their natural slightly smoky flavor. Chipotle peppers are actually…

To celebrate milestones, I often choose foods I love but can’t grow and prepare them so that their flavors shine. Learn to make Whiskey-Basted Grilled Salmon and other grilled goodies.

Some people think that to be worthy of a special occasion, a dinner has to be labor intensive. I have plenty of kitchen projects that take time and effort, but most have a larger purpose than a single meal: they’re destined for the freezer for later quick meals, the canning shelf for a year’s enjoyment, or the holiday cookie collection to share widely. When I celebrate milestones, like Twice as…

Quick-Pickled Beets

I spend much of my summer pickling produce; it’s my favorite way to preserve vegetables. As the harvest grows and I haul pounds of cucumbers, snap beans, summer squash, and more from the garden to the kitchen, my canning shelves fill with vinegar-preserved pickles and every other available surface holds fermenting ones. There they wait for weeks, if not months.

So for any given meal, you can…
