Things will be quiet here at Hunt the Recipe for the next week. I’ll be away visiting my mother this weekend. And next weekend Cauli and I will be in Tahoe where we’ll be cooking but probably not be able to post. Stay tuned…

Honey Teriyaki Chicken
Posted in chicken, main course on January 15, 2008 | 3 Comments »
This recipe was carefully written on a 3×5 index card and placed in my wood recipe box. This was early 2007 when I decided that I would try my hand at cooking. I burned some barley, made an amazing blueberry coffee cake, and decided that I would continue on the cooking track. I can’t remember [...]
Salmon with Avocado Remoulade
Posted in fish, sauce on January 11, 2008 | 4 Comments »
This is a recipe from the always good Elise of Simply Recipes. It’s wonderful in its simplicity and its creamy light taste. It takes very little time to put together, which was nice as I’ve been feeling pretty tired lately and it took most of my energy just to convince myself to make something last [...]
Pickled Onions

Oh my how I love onions. I love them in all sorts of things: sandwiches, eggs, macaroni and cheese, salads, and even raw! Sadly, Cauli doesn’t share my love for the onion, especially in raw form, though he will eat them cooked and caramelized. The San Francisco Chronicle ran a short piece on onions the [...]
Cauliflower with Mustard Lemon Butter
Posted in side dish, vegetarian on January 6, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Cauliflower is becoming one of my favorite vegetables, with its versatility as a vegetable (a solid base to build flavors on) and the fact that it comes in white, orange, and purple! I made this recipe with cheddar cauliflower, which is why it’s a vibrant orange/yellow. The following is a simple recipe I got from [...]
Easy Fake Welsh Rarebit

Today has brought more storms to the California Bay Area. We’ve had thunder, lightening, hail, and even flooding sidewalks. On days like this it’s always nice to stay cozy inside and wait out the storm. I made a small, late lunch this rainy day of fake welsh rarebit. Real welsh rarebit requires making a sauce [...]
Judith Jones’ Sauce Gribiche
Posted in sauce on January 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »
As I mentioned in my last post, I very much enjoyed Judith Jones’ memoir, especially the recipes she included at the end. Many caught my eye, including one for sauce gribiche. This sauce is meant to liven up cold, leftover meats. We used it on leftover beef sausage, and it was incredible. I again doubled [...]
Some Changes…
Posted in Blog on January 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Just a few administrative changes around here. I’ve decided on a new template and I LOVES it. I think this layout and design is more open and readable. AND I can customize the header, which I did. The other change I made was to create a Recipe Archive page. I find this is much easier [...]
Judith Jones’ Spaghetti and Cheese
Posted in side dish, vegetarian on January 2, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Over the New Year break, I read Judith Jones’ memoir The Tenth Muse: My Life in Food. She writes with such passion and excitment about food, and it was fascinating to read about her experience with bringing some of the big names of food, like Julia Child and Claudia Roden, to the American table. Also, [...]
