Dijon Honey Glazed Pork Tenderloin:

Pork tenderloin truly is one of the more underrated cuts of meat out there. It may have gotten a bad from being served overcooked, dry and boring at dinner parties and less ambitious restaurants over the years.

But when marinated in honey, garlic and dijon mustard, then seared and gently roasted in the oven until perfectly juicy, it is just as delicious as any red meat out there.

Here's how! ⬇️

🇫🇷 STEAK TARTARE 🇫🇷

I've lived in Paris during two periods of my life, and both times I made point of finding a go-to French corner bistro that served a great steak tartare with fries. Paired with a glass of Beaujolais and a small side salad, it's one of the world's great meals in my opinion. Even if you're not in Paris.

Here's how to make it at home ⬇️

How can we not fall in love with Scaccia Ragusana, the Sicilian lasagna bread? It's gorgeously rustic, and at the same time quite sophisticated with it's layers of filling and delicious dough.

Chocolate Peppermint Bars

I love the look of these simple chocolate bars, almost child-like in their rusticness (I don't think that's a real word), but at the same time so mouthwatering. It helps that they are absolutely delicious too.

Oh, and you can customize the color of the filling to fit any holiday. Magical, right?!

How to Make Chicken Karaage!

It’s not that chicken karaage is better than your normal fried chicken. It’s that it is SO much better that the Colonel might just retire out of respect.

We apologize to traditional fried chicken, but it’s time to move over and welcome a new Emperor.
