Chunky Giardiniera
Giardiniera is an Italian condiment of pickled vegetables, which can vary slightly by region, especially across the United States, most notable interpretations found in cities like Chicago and New Orleans. My version is inspired by a medley of styles, features a chunky texture and a blend of flavors – tangy, briny, and subtly spicy. The brining process creates a really satisfying crunch which is a great addition to rich and fatty sandwiches.

Easter Popcorn
Easy-Breezy Bacon
When I was working the lunchtime garde manger station at Union Square Café, one of the first things I did every morning was to bake off about 10 pounds of thickly sliced bacon for the restaurant’s signature BLT sandwich. Whether you’re feeding a whole dining room full of hungry customers or a much smaller group at home, this method is great because it allows you to multitask while the bacon is cooking in the oven. You end up with nice, flat, evenly cooked strips of bacon and—here’s the best part—there’s no pan to clean up when you’re done.

A quick and easy cherry compote with bourbon and a crack of black pepper for spice. This simple four-ingredient recipe was developed as a topping for panna cotta, and would go well as an accompaniment to ice cream, yogurt or a trifle.
Laing (Sautéed Greens with Coconut)
Laing is a creamy, sweet and spicy Filipinx dish that is typically made with taro leaves, but I've found that taro leaves are hard to come by where I live. Here I replace the taro leaves with a sturdy leafy green vegetable like kale or collard greens. I wouldn’t recommend using spinach for this recipe since it will be too soft when wilted and won’t hold up well to the coconut cream. This is a quick and delicious weeknight side that comes together in less than 10 minutes.
