Now there are countless copycat recipes for Pollo Campero’s fried chicken. These recipes often use a blend of citrus and spices to mimic the popular food chain’s version. The premise for my own copycat recipe is the same as American Southern fried chicken but has a different flavor and spice profile: My recipe uses lime juice instead of buttermilk for the brine and incorporates herbs and spices like oregano, cayenne, sazón, and adobo....

I decided there and then to come up with a vegan riff on this dish so that everyone can enjoy it, even if you’re eating dairy-free. Saag paneer is a dish that hails from the Northern part of the Indian subcontinent.

You can still find a few of those mom-and-pop drugstores in the depths of Maine and Vermont, but they are disappearing. In fact, a few decades ago in Cambridge, MA, the corner drugstore in my neighborhood was just that sort of place. Sadly, it, along with other stores of its ilk, is no more. Never mind. You can still make your own rickey at home with raspberry syrup and a squeeze of lime topped off with some club soda....

I’m not sure what first drew me to rhubarb. Perhaps, it was the name. Rhubarb. It sounds so strange, intriguing, even whimsical. But it isn’t just the name. That color! From the palest pink to dramatic ruby-red. And then there’s the flavor of rhubarb—so sour when raw, magically transformed into something floral and fruity when cooked. This sorbet perfectly captures all that love about rhubarb. Its flavor is touched with a little heat from fresh ginger and a little zing from orange zest which only enhances the pink taste (and I would call the taste pink) of this sorbet ....

They make a wonderful side dish to almost any main dish you can think of, and the leftovers are very good, reheated or cold. I have quite a few vegetable recipes on this website. I usually skip the starch at dinner and just serve two vegetable sides, so I’m always on the lookout for tasty recipes to vary the veggie rotation. These roasted mini sweet peppers are a very popular side dish in our house....

My young friends prefer rose hip jelly, but I the jam. It’s best to make on an overcast or otherwise beach-unfriendly day, only because it takes time.

Making rose hip jelly is easy, the jam, a bit more complicated....

My mother often made tuna patties for us, and less frequently, because they were more expensive, salmon patties. For several years, my father and I tried to talk my mother into making these salmon cakes again for us. For some unfathomable reason, she refused, even going as far as to claim that she never made salmon cakes in the first place. After a while, we gave up and made our own version of the recipe....
