I have a bottle of kudzu jelly in my kitchen. It’s quite possibly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. It’s supposed to be a gift for someone (I traded a lb of my homemade candied ginger to a friend in...

Following a post on the Home Cooking board, I've recently been obsessed with Chicken Adobo. Had never heard of it before, but now my husband and I can’t get enough. So easy to make and so delicious!

I've been watching the Cookbook of the Month goings on from the sidelines, and saw raves for Marcella Hazan’s tomato, onion, and butter sauce: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/show/325700#1882365 I made this sauce last night,...
