I love when readers send in their canning recipes! The last recipe Susan submitted for Canned Pickled Dill Carrots was a super hit, so I was pretty excited when she submitted another one. This time, she’s using lilacs to make jelly, which is a first for me. I’m so excited to try it out. Here’s Read More >>

Does it get more quintessentially summer than coleslaw or potato salads by the truckload?? Those cookouts and backyard barbecues mean plenty of potluck-style opportunities, but switch things up this summer and put our southwestern spin on the classic coleslaw. We’re not saying there’s not a time and place for the traditional version – we still love it, after all! – but pumping up the ingredients and the flavor is a great way to enhance this dish and make it unforgettable! We used pre-shredded coleslaw mix instead of making our own – because who has time for that?? – and then
You might have heard of Hoppin’ John, a mix of black-eyed peas, rice and salty cured pork. The dish, introduced by West African enslaved people in the coastal South, dates back centuries and is thought to be named after a disabled street vendor in Charleston, SC. But there’s a lesser-known spin-off made with okra, called Limpin’ Susan, and it’s just as tasty. Kardea Brown’s take — featured in her debut cookbook, The Way Home — includes shrimp too. The host of Delicious Miss Brown was raised on the Sea Islands of South Carolina and learned to cook in the Gullah tradition from her mother and grandmother. "In the kitchen I got to see and hear all about the special ways our families and our way of life went into the way we prepared Hoppin’ John," she recounts. "It was a feel-good place where love was poured in and stirred and baked and simmered till even more love came out." Try this dish and you’ll see what she means.

This would make a cute gift, maybe in a vintage bottle . . .
A bistecca alla Fiorentina is so good that it needs almost no intervention. Under the right circumstances, you can just cook it and sprinkle it with salt. Those circumstances, though, would be a wood-fired oven, a griddle and a small trattoria in Florence that’s been in the family for three generations. For complete authenticity, it would also require the best porterhouse steak cut from a fully grown Chianina ox, measuring three or four fingers thick. Not easy to replicate. The Fiorentina is ideal for cooking on a big barbecue or grill, as long as the temperature is controllable — you need to be able to drop it fast and accurately — and the top can be closed. If you do this, sear the steak directly on the grill first, then finish it in a pan placed on the grill. A small amount of oak or other aromatic wood would not be inappropriate. For a small dinner party or a special family meal, a Fiorentina is little sort of magical. Visually, it makes a stunning centrepiece. It’s an absolute breeze to carve and then, on the plate, there are big, equal-size chunks of chewy, strong flavoured sirloin and lean, subtle fillet, all perfectly finished. There’s plenty of excellent fat for those who like it and an incredible blend of meat juice and garlicky, herby oil to lubricate everything. It’s not a cheap cut but of all the grandest steaks, this is the one that will convince your guests that when meat is this good, you don’t need so much.

Apple bread is one of my favorite sweet breads in the whole wide world. Yes, I am partial to banana and pumpkin loaves, too, but there is just something special about a sweet big apple bread that gets my heart pounding. Maybe it’s because it reminds me of the apple orchard I used to go to as a young girl. I always loved going to this place. The smells of the cider and cinnamon doughnuts cooking were heavenly. Do you have any childhood memories that are invoked by food? Once I got older, married, and had a few little ones

When I penned my post about Susan Branch calendars back in December, I promised to do a post about her books some day. Since I also recently found yet another of those elusive pages I had saved from Country Living magazine years ago, this seemed like a good time to finally do it! First of all, here is the sweet page I found from 1988: And today I will also share part of my collection of her books (most of which are available on Amazon), that I began purchasing back in 1986. Heart Of The Home: Vineyard Seasons: Christmas From The Heart Of The Home: Days From The Heart Of The Home: Heart Of The Home Postcard Collection: And here is a lovely photo of her from one of her books: I just love her books and all of her wonderful hand-lettered text and watercolor illustrations. Please go and visit her website if you wish to read more about her! (Part Two coming up tomorrow.)
