Tony Garnier’s Gumbo
Here is a remarkable gumbo recipe that Eric Asimov scored off Tony Garnier, the bassist who plays behind Bob Dylan and is sometimes called his musical director, in 1998. It calls for all kinds of interesting meats, most of which can be substituted if you can't find them at the store, though the duck is tough to live without. Mr. Garnier picked up the recipe in the 1970s at Jay's Lounge and Cockpit in Cankton, Louisiana, a dive deep in Cajun country where the proprietor would keep a pot of gumbo simmering for when the music and the cockfighting were done for the night. ''I became interested in how to cook it, so I'd sneak back to the kitchen and ask questions,'' Mr. Garnier said. He refined the recipe for years. It is now at its apex.

M.F.K. Fisher’s Potato Chips
Sometimes, you just want plain potato chips, without the powdery ranch flavoring or day-glo red of barbecue dust. Here they are. A mandoline is helpful for making them, and take care to get your potatoes really dry before you fry them. The writer M.F.K. Fisher was passionate — even vicious — about potato chips, and here she does not steer us wrong.
