Recipes
Harissa shrimp broiled over a tray of greens
The greens go in first with half a cup of water, and the shrimp only arrive once the broiler takes over.
Flautas with sweet potato grated into the beef
Not deep fried. Sprayed with oil and baked until the shell goes properly to pieces when you bite it.
Pierogies in ancho butter
Ancho is not chipotle. No smoke at all, just dried fruit and a slow warmth, and it stains butter red.
Everyday cilantro sauce
The gentle green one. Everything on the plate gets brighter and nobody loses an eyebrow.
The Last Word
Gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino and lime in equal measure. Nothing else.
Pegu Club
Gin, orange curaçao and lime, with two bitters doing the quiet work.
Caipirinha
Brazil's national drink, built rough in the glass. Lime and sugar muddled, cachaça, crushed ice.
The daiquiri
The margarita's twin, built on white rum. Same two, one, three-quarters.
The gimlet
The same sour poured for gin. Sharp, clean, three ingredients.
The margarita
Two parts tequila, one lime, three-quarters sweet. The same drink as the daiquiri in a different hat.
Chicken and creamed corn, cobs and all
The cobs go in the pot. That is the whole secret.
Hipster BBQ, a drink not a dinner
Vodka, lime and a salted beer chaser that tastes, absurdly, of a grill.
Beeritas, no apologies
Limeade, lager and tequila by the pitcher. The margarita's lawless cousin.
