In the Kitchen with the Old Salty Dog
Pull up a chair and enjoy the eats.
A frequenter of Japanese Restaurants I’ve had salad on almost every visit. It is dressed with the same basic dressing in every Japanese restaurant and Hibachi place. Oh by the way the “hibachi” there is not a hibachi at all. It is a teppan which is not much different than the flat top I used …
Growing up in the suburban Boston area a constant mainstay of our breakfast table was Dundee Marmalade that came in a white crock jar with a bail top lid. We had so many of those crocks around the house because “they might come in useful someday” that you might have thought we ran a store …
In this post I’m going to be talking about traditional cast iron cookware made of uncoated and bare cast iron. Cast iron cookware has many advantages over other types of cookware but it is not without its drawbacks. Some of the advantages are it is durable, damn near indestructible and can last generations.

Just the name alone causes my mouth to water and memories of the smell of baking biscuits right at the edge of being done filling the kitchen and rest of the house. It is a sure fire call to breakfast and is something I quite often crave. When I moved into my North Carolina house …

When I first started doing blogs about ten years ago I swore up and down that I’d never carry advertisements on my blogs. For most of those years I kept that vow and categorically refused to add advertisements to my content. Things change. The financial pressures I feel have intensified and for that reason I …
I absolutely love pickles. I make all sorts of them in my kitchen of quite a lot of variety. When I was touring the South in 1974 and 1975 I came across what I considered to be an oddity coming from a New England upbringing. A Southern Gentleman offered me a plate with what he …
This is going to be a series of articles given what I see as a fascination to obsession people have about kimchi. Even though I am not Korean no matter how far back I go in my family tree I consider Kimchi to be an essential in my house. There are many styles of kimchi …
I make this all the time even thought my wife cannot eat it. She used to but now has to avoid high iron content food like spinach. This recipe is my adaptation to the stuff I had while visiting Korea in 1981. It is a simple dish that can be made ahead of time. I …
