Smoke Roasted Chicken Thighs with Maple Barbecue Sauce

We're big fans of chicken thighs because they're very tasty and easy to prepare, and they have just enough fat to stay moist on the grill. This is a deliciously sweet, sticky, old-school treatment most often used with wings, but we like it even better with thighs. These are not only great hot off the grill, but when they're cold, too, making them perfect for picnics. Get the full recipe.

Root Vegetable Slaw

This is a permutation of the vast universe of simply dressed, grated, or julienned raw vegetable salads that includes France's grated carrot and celery root salads and the endless variety of shredded cabbage slaws in America. They all share a purity and directness of flavor, with a pleasingly rustic, elemental look. Get the full recipe.

Santa Maria Pinquito Bean Salad

The following recipe for bean salad comes from the Far Western Tavern near Santa Maria, via the California Farm Bureau Federation. Get the full recipe.

The San Gennaro Burger

Recently, someone made me a "burger" out of fresh Italian sausage meat - which was good, but made me miss the beefy taste of a real burger. Then the flash of intuition crackled: why not mix a little fresh Italian sausage meat into a good hamburger? The result was terrific: a meaty, beefy burger with an extra dimension. Give it a try; I'm sure you'll agree that it's a really wonderful hybrid. Get the full recipe.

The Russki Burger

I've always been fascinated by hamburger meat mixed with bread in various forms: crumbs, soaked bread, etc. So after coming upon a recipe for bitiki, or Russian hamburger "cakes," I thought I'd take a shot at homage. Oh, man! I love these things, caught in the interspecies synapse between hamburgers and meat loaf. Your result will be nothing like a burger - but excellent in its own right. Get the full recipe.

Perfect Iced Coffee

Iced coffee is a deliciously refreshing way to enjoy your favorite coffees in warmer weather. Our preferred "Japanese" iced coffee method is a surefire formula for iced coffee success. Get the full recipe.
