Texas Burgers
The secret to crafting Texas-style burgers, like any great work of art, lies in the raw materials and how they come together. Begin with ground chuck with enough fat on it to keep it juicy while cooking (about 20% fat), and mold it into rounds by hand. Using your hands helps ensure the patties do not compress too much. Add a smear of classic yellow mustard to serve them in the style of Texas-based fast-food chain Whataburger.

Pickled Cherry Tomatoes
I LOVE these incredible tomatoes! The longer they sit, the better they get! At least one night in the fridge before you eat them is best, although they’re good right away too. I learned how to make these when I took a Bistro Boot Camp at the CIA local campus.
Spicy Sweet Potato Soup with Greens
We’re addicted to this soup! It’s lovely with strips of tangy turnip greens floating throughout the warm, spicy broth. Feel free to substitute collards or spinach for the turnip greens if desired.
