Dairy free chowder, halibut chowder, gluten free chowder by Guest on Monday, February 18, 2013

What are your recipe essentials? This time last year we shared a dozen of the recipes that we and our readers find indispensable. So indispensable are they, in fact, that we don’t lean on the printed word. These are recipes we commit to memory.

Some are weeknight dinner staples like baked salmon and fried rice, and others are the most classic sort of comfort foods, like chocolate chip cookies and buttermilk quick bread. Here are ten more of the recipes we love so much we have them memorized. Do you? Or are there others you choose to know by heart? More

See that picture above? That’s the beginning of what would end up being several jars of marmalade that my friend Serena and I made a few weeks ago. We both had very little experience in making marmalade but Serena has a real pioneering spirit, so we just dove right in. Or actually, she dove right in and I followed. Inspired by the limes that were ripening on a tree right outside my front door, she brought some of her own homegrown meyer lemons and suggested lemon-lime for our marmalade’s flavor. Yes! And so we set off on the somewhat risky but infinitely rewarding path of figuring out how it was done. More

“My grandmother and mother passed this recipe on to me. It changes just a little every year, because we’ve never written it down before. But it is always incredibly juicy and succulent!”
