I've been a little chile obsessed this week, so there's no better way to wrap up than with a red Anaheim, jalapeño and green pepper pizza. Pick a peck of peppers at your grocery or farmers market this weekend and you too, can have the Peter Piper pizza. As usual my keys to a good…
We're right in the sweet spot of chile season. We're a couple of weeks in on Hatch chile roasting; Anaheims, poblanos, jalapenos and serranos are plentiful at the farmers market, and we're eating chile every way possible. It's funny though, spicy food isn't really part of Seattle's DNA, and yet all the supermarkets only got…
Summer may be winding down, but grilling season is far from over. I've been obsessed with burgers and really, anything on a bun lately. While nothing beats a classic beef hamburger, my a-ha this year is that chicken thighs actually make a better burger than turkey. And if you're willing to go an extra step, grind your…
It's a little surprising that the wave of nostalgia that’s overtaking books and tv and toys in the last few years hasn’t made it’s way to food. Stranger Things and Strawberry Shortcake dolls and totally misguided live action remakes of 80s cartoons like Jem and the Holograms have captured our collective imagination (more or less), but that longing…
When it comes to chiles, “Red or Green?” doesn’t have to black and white. There’s really no bad answer. With Hatch Chile season just getting underway, green will be your first thought. Roasters are being fired up across the country and it’s time to order up a case of fresh green chiles to squirrel away…
Stunning. The signs are all there to see, but if you’re not looking, you might not notice until you’re in too deep.

I'm on a bit of a zucchini kick.
For a vegetable that doesn't offer a whole heck of a lot of flavor on it's own, it's turning up on our table a lot these days. There was that simple zucchini salad last week, zucchini green chile fritters for dinner last night, and then this zucchini cake. NYTFood posted a…
Simplicity is a hallmark of Japanese home cooking. Sometimes, it's simplicity to the point where you actually have to ask yourself, how does this require a recipe? Often, it doesn't. Most of my grandma's "recipes" were like that. Take the scribbled list of ingredients and figure it out. This list is adapted from a recipe…
