Dierdre and Holly’s Bulk Beef Primer

Holly insisted we use one of her glamor shots for the bulk-beef section intro slide. I said “OK,” since by the time we get to the actual cookbook i can edit away anything that does not meet my usual high-standards. This is the deal we are working on as a start to the menu section […]

Deirdre’s Barbacoa de Cabeza

Deirdre’s Buttered Afternoon Noodles

Maybe I should have called this the Galley Surprise, since despite all the planning, sometimes thigs occur that disrupts the careful planning.
