Although many recipes abound for salt-preserved lemons, there are less for other citrus like oranges and grapefruit. However, the process is essentially the same. The only difference is that while lemons and limes in salt also need (or at least benefit from) additional lemon or lime juice added, oranges or […]
It’s bright, tangy, healthy and delicious. It’s also vegan, Paleo, and easily made organic. If you’re having falafel, schwarma, kafta and other kebabs, sabich, and so much more, you just have to have that cucumber/tomato salad in your pita or on your plate. In Iran it’s known as Shirazi Salad. […]
For starters, I made a Pho-spice Reuben sandwich and all the components were made from scratch, except the bread and swiss cheese. Although Russian dressing is the traditional spread on a Reuben, Thousand Island is also a popular substitute. So, I made both types of dressing, and I thought they […]
Don’t you just love those bright pink onions on your tacos? (And also the escabeche of hot peppers, carrots, radish, etc. common to Mexican restaurants?) I’ve been asked how to get that really striking shade of pink before and the answer is simple. Besides using red onions, for a real […]
In case you didn’t know, I love Pho soup. Did you know pho is pronounced “fuh”? There’s a restaurant here in the Atlanta area called “What the pho?” and I’ve heard of one called “Pho King Awesome.” (My all-time favorite pho place, by the way, is here in Atlanta and […]

Russian dressing is good on so many things (burgers, fries, wings, hot dogs, brisket, sandwiches, and much more). I made it most recently to use on an epic Pho Reuben sandwich which incorporated many fermented and pho-spiced components. That Russian dressing, which is featured in this post, used several fermented […]
Really, who doesn’t want to try pho-spiced ketchup? (Besides my wife, I mean.) I’m telling you, it’s absolutely brilliant. Or a Russian dressing made with said pho ketchup, in which the dressing is also made using your own delicious, Paleo-friendly mayo, fermented hot sauce and fermented horseradish? Which then goes […]
A few times a year I make a bunch of good ol’ classic cole slaw, for a burger & dog barbecue, or with tacos, a pulled pork sandwich, that kind of thing. It’s always delicious; this is my own recipe from scratch and is exactly how I make it. Cole […]
If you’re here on my site, on this page in particular, then it’s a given you love hot & spicy, you love sriracha, and you can’t wait to find even more things to put it on. In this case, we’re also talking what to put it in. Because this recipe […]
