When buying your rib roast, look for choice or prime meat. You really need good quality meat for this. Buy one rib bone per person, or if you want leftover for prime rib sandwiches, then buy a little extra. I was only serving 2, so I got a three rib roast. Adjust your seasonings for a larger roast.</div>

Peach Season is here! Nothing can compare to peaches grown in South Carolina and Georgia and this is the time of year when they are at their peak. Beautiful soft orbs of sweet juicy fruit, which are naturally bright and beautiful can be utilized in many ways. I grill them, make chutney, jam them, eat in hand, freeze at least 20# to use for winter and of course make peach pies among other things. This pie is one of my favorites, the other style is a glazed peach pie, which I will be making soon. This one is so easy and delicious.</div>

Make an x in the bottom of the peaches, dunk in boiling water for 5 seconds and immediately plunge into ice water. Using a paring knife, pull off the skins. Cut the peaches into bite size pieces and layer with lemon juice sugar as you cut. When all of the peaches are sliced, stir and let sit for 10 minutes while you roll out the crust.</div>

Big Daddy makes a few cooking attempts to ease my busy schedule. Last night he hit a homerun. Pho (pronounced FA), the simple (yet complex) Vietnamese Street food charmed him when we lived in Hawaii. He is not one for exotic flavors, so this surprised me a bit. Since then we have been to several restaurants here in Charleston that serve Pho. He decided to make it and it was an astounding winner. We paired it with a Belgian Ale and that was a fantastic match too. We had some leftover rare beef (tri-tip) so he froze it and sliced it thinly. I usually ask for my meat on the side when ordering Pho in restaurants, I don’t like it over cooked. We have enough broth for at least two more meals.</div>

This recipe is so good that I revisit it every few months. It makes a great centerpiece for a dinner party and the leftovers are better than the first night’s meal. The noodles are difficult to find, but I get them on Amazon.com, buying 6 bags at a time.</div>

<i style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Greek Lasagna Pastitsio</i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: museo-1, museo-2, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 17.99715805053711px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When teaching others to make this dish, I have often joked that the word <i style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">pastitsio</i> (pa-STEE-tsee-oh) translates to “messy kitchen” in Greek. I was only kidding, but there is a hint of truth to that statement. The Greek word pastitsio derives from the Italian <i style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">pasticcio</i>, which loosely translates to a mess or a hodgepodge.</div>

Three essential components make up this dish – pasta, meat filling, and a creamy bechamel sauce which are layered in a pan and baked to a golden brown. Each stage will require dirtying some pots and pans, but I think you will agree that the end result is well worth the clean up!</div>

This recipe will yield about 24 servings depending upon the size of your pieces. I use a lasagna pan that is 9 x 13 x 3 inches deep.</div>

Heat olive oil in a large saute pan. Add ground lamb and cook over medium-high heat until pink color disappears, about 5 minutes. Add onions and cook until they are translucent, about 5 minutes more.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: museo-1, museo-2, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 17.99715805053711px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Add wine, tomato sauce, parsley, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and pepper and allow sauce to simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. While sauce is simmering put water on to boil for pasta.</div>

Cook pasta noodles according to package directions and drain well. Rinse noodles in colander under cold water to cool them slightly.</div>

Stir in 3 tbsp. breadcrumbs to meat sauce to absorb excess liquid and remove from heat.</div>

Melt 1/2 cup butter in pasta pot and return cooked noodles to the pot. Stir in beaten egg whites and 1 cup of grated cheese and toss lightly, being careful not to break the noodles.</div>

Brush the bottom and sides of the lasagna pan with olive oil. Layer the bottom with half the pasta noodles and press down so that they are somewhat flat.</div>

Add the meat filling in an even layer to the pasta. Top with remaining pasta noodles and flatten top layer as best you can.</div>

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees while you prepare the bechamel sauce.</div>

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Using a whisk, add flour to melted butter whisking continuously to make a smooth paste or roux. Allow the flour/butter mixture to cook for a minute but do not allow it to brown.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: museo-1, museo-2, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 17.99715805053711px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Add warmed milk to mixture in a steady stream, whisking continuously. Simmer over low heat until it thickens but does not boil.</div>

Remove from heat and stir in beaten egg yolks. Add pinch of nutmeg. If sauce still needs to thicken, return to heat and cook over very low heat while continuing to stir.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: museo-1, museo-2, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 17.99715805053711px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Bechamel is thicker than gravy but not quite as thick as pudding. It should be somewhere in between. One way to tell if it is thick enough is to dip your wooden spoon in the sauce and draw your finger across the back of the spoon. If the sauce holds a visible line then it is thick enough.</div>

Pour the bechamel over the pasta noodles making sure to pour sauce down in to the corners as well. I even pull back th sides of the pasta to let some go down the sides. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs if desired. Bake in 350 degree oven for approximately 45 minutes or until the top is a nice golden color.</div>

This fabulous recipe was inspired by the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Latin-Road-Home-Savoring-Ecuador/dp/1891105493/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1366378884&sr=1-1&keywords=the+latin+road+home" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #d8471d; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">The Latin Road Home by Jose Garces</a>. The book explores the cuisines of Ecuador, Spain, Cuba and Mexico. This is one of the best cookbooks I have picked up in a while. In this recipe, I used fresh corn, but good frozen corn would work too. I also added some seasonings and chiles to the recipe. I make my own achiote paste, but you can buy it in Hispanic or Asian markets. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinoa" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #d8471d; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Quinoa</a> is an amazing chenopod, full of protein and fiber.</div>

I love French fries. I am constantly seeking a way to make the best ones. Sometimes I like them thin and crispy, sometimes thick and pillowy light inside (best done by roasting at a high temp.). Most often like Goldilocks, I like them “just right.” That means that they are medium cut fries, a little crispy on the outside and soft on the outside, full of potato flavor, not the grease they were cooked in. I like fries cooked in duck fat, but that is not always something I have an abundance of. Here is the method, it is simple and only requires a large pot (best for keeping splatters contained) a deep thermometer used for frying or cheese making, a spider (or other mesh spoon to retrieve your fries and some good quality canola oil. The thermometer is the only thing you may need to go out and buy. <a href="http://www.chefsresource.com/cdn-insta-read-long-stem-thermometer.html?gclid=CO-vja7fkrUCFQixnQodQgsAHg" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #d8471d; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Here is an example</a>. You need this because you will need to control the temperature of the oil.</div>

Smoked or Kosher Salt</div>

Method:</div>

<li style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Cut the ends off of the potatoes and then the rounded edges. lay flat and cut into 1/2 ” strips. Place in salted water till finished cutting.</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Preheat the oil to 250 degrees.</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Use either a salad spinner or a dish cloth to completely dry the fries. Once the oil is ready place fries into the oil. You should not be crowding them, you may need to do this in batches.</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Cook until they start to look slightly golden, about 4 minutes, making sure that the oil temperature stays at 250.</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Carefully remove to a straining tray (cookie sheet or steam pan) with a rack. I say carefully because the potatoes are very tender at this point and can easily tear.</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Bring the heat of the oil to 365 degrees.</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Add the potatoes in batches and allow to cook till they are perfectly golden with a subtle bit of brown on the edges. Remove to the draining tray again and salt IMMEDIATELY. Serve right away with home made mayonnaise, BBQ sauce or ketchup.</li>

It is Meyer Lemon season. I have been in love with Meyer Lemons since I was a little girl. My great grandmother had an ever bearing Meyer. Coming from a citrus family has advantages. I wonder how that 60+ year old tree in Glendora, California is doing now. I do lots with the lemons on my tree and those I buy to supplement my habit. Here is what I did with some of them yesterday.</div>

I make a big batch of tamales several times a year. Yesterday I made a batch of pork and green chile tamales. They are not at all difficult to make and they freeze really well. They are also easy to re-steam. Here is the recipe, but keep in mind the filling can be any number of things, from chiles and cheese to chicken, pork, crab, beef etc. Once you get the rolling technique down you will be able to make them with anything. I often triple this recipe. This recipe makes about 20 good sized tamales. You can make them smaller if you are using them as an appetizer.</div>

<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Cut lengths of string long enough to wrap the tamales. There are different ways of folding and wrapping the tamales, but this is my favorite way to do it. You can also tie just the ends or you can fold it so there is one side open and don’t even use strings. If you do this, you must place them upright in your steamer. Some people use parchment paper instead of corn husks or banana leaves.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Soak the corn husks in hot water, weight them down so they are immersed. Just before making the tamales, pour out the water. If you are using banana leaves they need to be heated to soften. I blanch them and place them on a wet towel.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In a stand mixer (or bowl with a beater) whip the cold lard for about 3 minutes on high speed till it is fluffy</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In a bowl, combine dry ingredients and stir. Fold that and the stock into the lard. Mix until a very moist (but not sticky) dough forms. Chill for about 20 minutes while you prepare the filling.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In a large skillet melt the lard and add onions. Stir and cook till the onions are translucent, add garlic in a hot spot and stir, then add the chiles and spices and finally deglaze the pan with the stock and allow to simmer till the stock is absorbed, then cool.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Set up a station on a table or counter top. You will need the masa, the cheese, the filling, the string and a platter to stack the finished tamales on.</div>

<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Start with about 1/2 cup of masa on a corn husk. Fold the sides of the husk where you will want the ends of the tamales to be and spread the masa with the folded husk. Do the same thing with the top and bottom of the husk so that the dough is spread out and you end up with a square of dough about 4″ X 4″. You will need to select the husks that are large enough to accommodate this size of tamale. You should have at least an inch of exposed husk on all sides. Place the filling in the center of the masa and lightly push down on it. Then take the bottom end of the husk and roll it forward to meet the end of the dough. Pull the dough forward making the two ends of dough meet. Then fold in the sides and roll the tamale. Place the string under the tamale and tie like a package. Repeat till you have used all of the dough or filling.</div>

<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In a steam pot, place the tamales on a rack, cover and boil vigorously for 40-50 minutes. While you are steaming make the sauce.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You can use New Mexico Red or Green Chile powder for this. I used red this time, but my next batch of corn, cheese and chile tamales I am making green sauce.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Make a roux of the masa and lard, stir till slightly brown. Add the chile powder and stir, then whisk in the stock. Allow to simmer and thicken slightly. Keep warm till ready to serve.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
To serve, open the husks and remove the tamales to a plate. The masa should be soft and supple, yet firm enough to hold together. Spoon the sauce over and add additional cheese, crema and chopped cilantro. Enjoy!</div>

I used to make it at my cooking school for Cuban Night. I change out a few things here and there to go more Italian or more Cuban. Even if you do not have a smoker this is delicious braised or done in a slow cooker or dutch oven. You simply make a paste in the food processor and then make slits in the pork shoulder (bone in or out, your choice). Marinate it over night, smoke the next morning and then finish it off in a crock pot or in a dutch oven in the oven. Note: I do not add salt before cooking, but I offer it at the table. </span></a></div>

Put on latex gloves if you have them, this gets messy. Cut 1 1/2 inch slits into the meat on all sides. Stuff the slits with the paste. If you have any paste left over, smear it on the meat. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate 12-24 hours.<br /><a href="http://sassyspoon.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/porchetta.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #d8471d; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="porchetta" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-752" height="433" originalh="433" originalw="652" scale="1.5" src-orig="http://sassyspoon.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/porchetta.jpg?w=652&h=433" src="http://sassyspoon.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/porchetta.jpg?w=969&h=647" style="background-color: #e2dbd1; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 1px solid rgb(209, 191, 166); clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 8px auto; max-width: 98%; padding: 3px; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto;" width="652" /></a><br />Remove the meat from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature. Meanwhile set up your smoker and turn your grill on high.</div>

Sear the meat on all sides on the grill. Then place in the smoker at about 200 degrees over a drip pan and smoke for 6 hours. If you do not have a smoker, go directly to the slow cooker or roaster but cook for 8-10 hours on low.</div>

Prepare the roaster or slow cooker by placing a bed of Yukon Gold potatoes (small ones or cut larger ones in half) and the onions. Sometimes I add other root vegetables too. Place the meat directly on the bed of veggies. pour two cans or bottles of beer over the meat. Sprinkle the sweet onion sugar all over.</div>

Roast at 350 degrees covered with foil or in a dutch oven. Or you can use a slow cooker on high for 4 hours (either method). It is just that easy. The leftovers are sometimes my favorite part… tamales, tacos pulled pork sandwiches. <img alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" scale="0" src="http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?m=1129645325g" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /></div>

I had a New Years Day dinner party and decided to have a Hispanic theme. I usually make my <a href="http://myhawaiianhome.blogspot.com/2010/09/chiles-en-nogada.html#" target="_blank">Chiles en Nogada </a>for Christmas, but I was busy working on Christmas Eve and decided to postpone that tradition till New Years. I have done a lot of regional Mexican and South American cooking, spent a great deal of time in Latin America from a young age and went to cooking school in Mexico. Since moving to the Low Country, I have been interested in the spin that my friend <a href="http://www.sandraskitchenstudio.com/" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #d8471d; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Sandra A. Gutierrez </a>has put on some of the traditional Latino recipes and ingredients in her book <a href="http://www.sandraskitchenstudio.com/sandras_kitchen_studio/about-the-new-southern-latino-table.html" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #d8471d; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">The New Southern-Latino Table</a>. I decided to incorporate a few of her recipes into my menu for New Years and the first one was Collard Green Empanadas. In the south it is a tradition to eat two things on New Years, greens which represent folded money and black eyed peas which represent good luck. Sandra had recipes using both ingredients, so I made them her way with a few twists of my own.</div>

Here is the recipe for the empanadas. She suggested frying store bought empanadas dough or and I wanted to bake, so I used store bought pie pastry & baked them because of the time and mess crunch with all of the other parts of the meal. But you can make them with your favorite pastry dough too. I have filling leftover and plan on doing that next weekend.</div>

I have taken liberties by adding the mac nuts and the rum. When I was a little girl my Great Grandma Wolf would give me buttered rum Lifesavers to keep me quiet in church, so the flavor is homage to her. These freeze well and can be re-heated. You can also make and proof the dough the night before and then refrigerate the dough. If you do this, it will take about 2 hours for the rolls to rise in their second fermentation.</span></div>

I am tired of ingesting sappy sweet Maraschino Cherries loaded with red dye #40. I want some *real cherries* for my manhattans and Mai Tais! And so, I made Home Made Maraschino Cherries. Now, there are two ways to make them (that I know of) and one of them requires sourcing <a data-bitly-type="bitly_hover_card" href="http://www.luxardo.it/product.aspx?ID=778" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #d8471d; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur</a> If you are not looking for a spiked cherry, why not just make them the old fashioned way? Basically this involves taking fresh cherries at their peak, creating a syrup adding some spices and flavors that will compliment the cherries, then simmering the cherries lightly in the syrup without really cooking them completely. This enables the flavors of the syrup to penetrate the cherries and still retains the texture of a fresh cherry.</div>

This recipe is simple and can be completed in the space of an hour. When the cherries have been soaking in the syrup even longer, they will be even tastier. I did not pit the cherries and I left the stems in tact, but you can pit them if you want to. You will need a large jar or container to store the cherries in. They do need to be refrigerated. The alternative of course is to process the cherries, but then they would lose so much of their fresh taste and texture.</div>

Add the cherries and almond extract. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes or until the cherries have exuded some of their juice and the syrup has taken on a distinctly cherry flavor. Be careful not to overcook. The point is not to actually cook the cherries, but to heat them in the syrup just long enough to bring out their essence.</div>

Another offering from my Charleston kitchen. It is the peak of summer. Time for lobster and corn on the cob. While both are abundant, I decided to make a Chowder on a rainy summer day. It is not hard at all. I used lobster tails that I found on sale and some claws I had frozen for this, but usually I use live lobsters. I always save the shells for stock. This makes enough for 6 servings and reheats well.</div>

Squash or pumpkin blossoms offer up multiple opportunities. While in cooking school in Mexico, we used them as a filling ingredient for quesedillas, empanadas and tacos. They were also tossed in salads and soups for color and nutrition. Of course they are also lovely when filled and fried or baked. Squash blossoms are a unique ingredient. Unless you have a big patch of squash or pumpkins, you are at the whim of the farmer who brings these highly perishable ingredient to market. At the Charleston Farmer’s Market yesterday, I spied a little box of the blooms and grabbed it. My mind was swimming with filling ideas as we drove home. I decided on some queso fresca that I bought at a small Hispanic market on John’s Island with herbs and peppers & a little marscarpone for smoothness. </div>

Place the cheeses, cilantro, pepper and salt and pepper in the small bowl of a food processor. This can also be done by hand, but if you are doing it that way, you will need to finely chop the pepper and cilantro. </div>

Pulse until the filling is smooth. Using a spatula, fill a small zip lock bag. Push all of the filling down so that there is no air in the bag. Just before filling cut a small piece of the corner off and pipe the filling into the blossom, carefully wrapping the petals around the filling. Leave the top 1/2 inch unfilled and twist to enclose the filling. Refrigerate. </div>

There are some new kids on the block. I say kids because <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nicole.teedkees" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #d8471d; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Nicole</a> and Jay Kees are at least as young as my adult children. Though they are well seasoned food adventurers who arrived in Charleston, South Carolina just 12 weeks ago to open their new eatery, <a href="http://www.angeloakrestaurant.com/about.php" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #d8471d; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Angel Oak Restaurant. </a> I was invited to attend a media dinner at Angel Oak last night and I was pleasantly pleased. It is not just the interesting locally based seasonal food that caught my eye, but attention to the smallest details in the choices for decor and service ware. The restaurant has a very personal feel to it and that is because everything in it was hand picked from antique markets in upstate New York before the Kees moved to Charleston. Antique bottles filled with herbs are on each table and in window frames, the tables which are covered in brown paper are set with vintage china and when you order coffee, the cream comes in old pint milk bottles. The toile banquettes were hand made by the couple, chairs bought on Craigs List and antique doors provide cover for the busing station. Though the mason jar drinking glasses are a southern staple, the decor is fresh, art filled and not at all cloying.</div>

Now, let’s talk about the food. The Angel Oak Restaurant has a seasonal locally inspired menu which is printed up daily. All pasta is made in house. Sauces & condiments are made from scratch and interestingly presented. Their <a href="http://angeloakrestaurant.com/pdfs/suppermenu.pdf" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #d8471d; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">supper menu</a> includes appetizers such as oysters on the half shell with fresh horseradish, champagne mignonette ($7), deep fried bacon drizzled with a Buffalo sauce served with home made blue cheese dressing ($6), Port Wine Pate fresh creamy chicken liver pate, green tomato chow-chow, pickled vegetables, selection of mustards, toast points ($8) and Lobster Mac with fresh lobster, creamy herbed champagne cheese sauce and a baked panko crust ($12) among other offerings.</div>

They also have a fun “snack” menu for just $3 you can have a taste of House-Made Ricotta with toast points and local honey, Fried Green Tomatoes, Deviled Eggs and Yorkshire Pudding with Gravy. It is a playful way to taste some really interesting flavors. At our table the house made ricotta was a big hit.</div>

Entrees, salads and sandwiches fill out the rest of the supper menu. The entrees vary from Southern staples (Chef Kees is from Southern Missisippi and trained at the C.I.A.) to interesting plays of local ingredients. Their stellar Buttermilk Fried Chicken, drizzled with five spice herb honey served with macaroni and cheese gratin and collard greens ($17) made several diners smile. Shrimp Carbonara with sautéed Low Country shrimp, house made pasta with peas, roasted lardons of local bacon tossed in a creamy herb sauce ($16). My Steak Au Poivre; seared peppercorn crusted local grass fed sirloin finished with a brandy cream sauce were served with herbed shoestring fries in a brown paper bag ($21) was a perfectly cooked medium rare.

Line mini muffin tin with paper liners. Whisk together flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. With mixer on low speed, add eggs, buttermilk, oil, extract, and the water; beat until smooth and combined.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Spoon the batter into liners about two-thirds full. Bake approximately 15 minutes, or until tester comes out clean. Transfer tins to wire racks and allow to cool for 10 minutes; turn cupcakes onto racks and let cool completely. Cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen up to 1 month in air tight containers.</div>

To finish, use a paring knife to cut a cone-shaped piece (about 1/2 inch deep) from the center of each cupcake and throw away the pieces (or eat them). Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons warm Salted Caramel Filling into each hollowed-out cupcake. You will notice the caramel will sink into the cupcake a little, just fill it up a bit more. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over filling.</div>

Use a pastry bag with a medium open-star tip and pipe Dark Chocolate Frosting onto each cupcake, swirling tip and releasing as you pull up to form a peak. Garnish each cupcake with a pinch of sea salt. Cupcakes are best eaten the day they are filled and frosted. Store at room temperature in airtight containers – do NOT refrigerate. </div>

I made one of these for St. Patricks Day, but there were no leftovers! And I am a woman that loves a good Ruben Sandwich. So when I noticed that the corned beefs were on sale , I just had to buy another. I have a Digital Bradley Smoker which is one of my favorite pieces of cooking equipment. This is my second one, my first one was not digital, I bought it 12 years ago before they came out with the digital model. But you can do this with any smoker that does not place the food directly above the heat.</div>

This is a delicious way to use leftover ham, or an excuse to buy a ham just for the leftovers. The recipe originates from Mareen Priviet, a South African friend of mine who presented this very tasty appetizer at a dinner party in Chicago many years ago. Because of the ingredients I suspect that it comes from the 1950′s. I have always loved the interesting taste, the surprise of crunch and the fact that almost everyone who tastes this loves it. This makes neough to serve to 20 people, so if you have leftovers you can stir it all together to make a deviled ham sort of sandwich spread. I added a few things to the basic recipe, but it is so very good just the way it is. The original recipe calls for Miracle Whip, something I have never been able to stomach, so I use good mayo with some Meyer lemon juice. The most important flavor profile comes from<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branston_(food)" style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; color: #d8471d; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Branston Pickle</a>, a chutney like pickle from the UK.

I had planned to make this as an appetizer, but could not find small pears, so I made it as a first course, served in bowls with a reduction of the poaching liquid spooned over. This would also go great on some lightly dressed greens.</div>

My spin was of course quite different, from the poaching liquid to the finish, and yet all three of our dishes have the same basic components, pears, cheese and bacon. What is not to love? Here is my version of the concept which dazzled my dinner guests last night:</div>

Enough wine to cover 6 pears in a pot (2-3 bottles). I used prosecco, but you could use any wine you like. Port is great for this as would be a merlot. Each with their own distinctions.</div>

Gelato is ice cream’s smoother more flavorful Italian cousin. In Italy there are <em style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">gelaterie </em>shops everywhere. The trend came to the US several years ago, but there are still many people I meet that are not familiar with gelato. It is best made in small batches. It has less butterfat than most ice cream and there are a few secrets to making it smoother. Most recipes for gelato use only egg yolks, no whites. The yolk works as a stabilizer in the process. The other secret is to cook the custard and then after straining let it sit for for several hours after pasteurization is complete for the milk proteins to hydrate, or bind, with water (milk) in the mix. This hydration reduces the size of the ice crystals, making a smoother texture in the final product.</div>

I have an Italian gelato machine. But you do not have to have one to make good gelato. It does help if you have a machine which stirs while refrigerating, but you can still get good results with an old fashioned ice cream machine. My machine is made by Lusso and I call her Lucille.<a href="http://hawaiidoggie.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/gelato-machine-lusso.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; color: #d8471d; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="Image" class="size-full wp-image aligncenter" height="489" src="http://hawaiidoggie.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/gelato-machine-lusso.jpg?w=464" style="background-color: #e2dbd1; border-image: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(209, 191, 166); clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 8px auto; max-width: 98%; padding: 3px; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto;" title="Lucille" width="464" /></a></div>

Here is the recipe:</div>
<ul style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em 2.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2 cups whole milk</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2 cups heavy cream</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1/3 cup dried culinary lavender flowers (the best place to buy them is in a health food store)</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Zest of one lemon in large strips (use a vegetable peeler not a zester)</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">7 egg yolks</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1 cup sugar</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">dash salt</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1/2 tsp vanilla</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Purple food coloring paste (buy this in cake decorating section of a craft store) optional</li>
</ul>
<ol start="1" style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em 2.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Bring milk, lemon zest and lavender flowers almost to a boil</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Turn off heat and allow to sit for 1 hour</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Strain and discard lavender & lemon peel</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Add cream with a whisk</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Reheat strained milk & cream until bubbles form around edge of the pan</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Beat the egg yolks with with sugar and a pinch of salt in a stainless steel bowl that will fit over a saucepan of water. Beat vigorously until the mixture is yellow and creamy (about 3 minutes)</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Add a ladle of the hot milk/cream to the egg/sugar mixture and continue to whisk, then add the remaining milk/cream mixture very slowly</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Maintain a simmer in the bottom of the double boiler, do not allow it to come to a rolling boil</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Beat by hand or with a mixer while cooking for about 15 minutes, do not allow it to boil</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">When the back of a wooden spoon is coated with the mixture and you can draw a line with your finger it is ready.</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Stir in the vanilla and pour through a strainer into another bowl that will fit into a larger bowl fitted with ice</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Whisk in the coloring if you want to use it</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Place plastic wrap over the entire top of the mixture, touching it all the way around. This creates a seal and will not allow a skin to form.</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Place the bowl with the mixture in it into the bowl of ice and allow to rest until all of the ice melts.</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">At this point you can place it in the refrigerator to chill further, as long as over night.</li>

This bread pudding is a sort of a “two fer”, as it also includes a recipe for really great Irish Soda Bread. Soda Bread does not use yeast, it somewhat resembles a very large biscuit. It is easy to make and you will only use about half of the loaf for this recipe. Try toasting the leftovers with butter and jam.</div>
