Herbs & Spices
Fennel, Roasted Tomato, and Basil Relish
Serve with grilled shrimp, fish, or pork.
Cilantro Salsa with Coconut and Lime
This salsa can also be spooned over grilled shrimp, fish, chicken, or lamb.
Coddled Eggs with Fines Herbes
The easiest way to coddle eggs is to place them in egg coddlers, special containers with tight-fitting lids, but you can also use ramekins or custard cups covered tightly with foil. Fines herbes is a combination of chopped fresh herbs, most often those below, but sometimes including others such as marjoram or savory.
Fresh Italian Dressing
The trick to achieving a good emulsification—suspending the oil in water-based ingredients such as vinegar—is to add the oil toward the end and whisk it in a little bit at a time.
Tomato Focaccia
If you don’t have a mixer, knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes.
Dried Apricot and Sage Scones
When baked, these scones can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
Barbecue Rub
Dry rubs add intense flavor to chicken, pork, and beef. Apply the rub at least 1 hour and up to 3 days before cooking.
Blackberry-Mint Julep
Like the original, our julep features bourbon infused with mint. But this drink’s signature sweetness is tempered by the tartness of blackberries, which also tint it a gorgeous shade of purple. Another twist: Our cocktail is blended with—rather than served over—ice, creating a slushy texture.
