I have a confession to make: I’ve never been to New York City. Ok, yes, via Sex & The City, and yes, there was that one time, for work, when I was thoroughly convinced I could Carrie Bradshaw my way from publishing house to publishing house wearing 5-inch heels and pushing a clothing rack through throngs of (thoroughly annoyed) pedestrians all while wearing a handknit shawl and a maxi skirt on a so-humid-it-feels-like-God’s-breath-all-like-hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-on-your-face kind of day in late May. So yeah, I’ve been there. But not, like, for real, jaknow? Until now. Ok not now, but in June, which is … Read More
Almond-Stuffed Dates with Bourbon Bacon Jam
First, a note of extreme thanks to everyone who participated in Cook Taste Eat & Whole Food’s Everyday 365 Coconut Milk recipe challenge. The Pig & Quill’s Chiles en Nogada didn’t quite make the cut, but it was an honor to be included with such talented foodies in the voting round. I know many of you committed special time to spreading the word via Facebook and email, and it was greatly appreciated. Perhaps most entertaining: Chris is actually a bit disappointed by not having to eat raw tomato. The volumes spoken by that sentence… Sunday funday. Hope yours has been a blast. Ours has been incredibly satisfying. And … Read More
Coconut-Pecan Brussie Salad with Fried Onions & Fruity Balsamic
(Update: Well, it’s true that I’m currently flying, but now I’m en route back to CA. Posting this a couple days late because I wanted to be sure you guys got a glimpse at Joel’s Oscar popcorn post in time for the big night! Happy Oscars!) Pigs are flying! And not just because you never thought that you’d see the words coconut, pecan and brussie in the same sentence. I mean, maybe you were hoping you’d never see the word brussie again after I posted two BR recipes almost back-to-back a few weeks ago…but that matters none. What matters is that … Read More
Smoked Olive Oil Caramels with Chocolate & Pecans
Hi again. It’s me, Emily, here, with a recipe that is probably mostly definitely going to make you want to tear your hair out in absurdly delicious confusion. So, remember when I posted those spicy chocolate caramels the other day? (Yes, the day AFTER Valentine’s Day.) And then I promised a naughtier version would be forthcoming? Well, hunnayy, you would not imagine the emails I received after that post. People were really freaking curious! It was all like: – What do you mean by naughty? – Are they shellac’d with some kind of latex-finish gloss? – Caramel Room of Pain? – … Read More
Sticky Toffee Popcorn with Peanuts & Potato Chips
Ohhhhhh lovelies, if there is one recipe you take away from the Pig & Quill this year, let it be this one. Is that putting the popcorn on too high a pedestal? Perhaps. I’ll correct myself. Ohhhhh lovelies, if you like things that are salty. That are sweet. That are nutty and crisp and ever-so-slightly caramelized, junky and comforting and just completely, justifiably snack-worthy, have I got a recipe for you. A few weeks back, on the eve of my cousin Lauren’s bridal shower, I found myself staring down a dozen kraft paper favor bags adorned with bridal-worthy decals and bows … Read More
