Why You Should Make Smoked Burgers I personally don’t think that you need to smoke burgers for hours to get a good, smoky flavor. Here’s why: Burger patties are fairly thin so the smoke doesn’t need to “penetrate” the patties.Since the meat is ground, it has plenty of bits and pieces to absorb smoke quickly.Smoking for 30 minutes instead of 1-2 hours doesn’t change the end result, you still get great smoked burgers....

To say this thing is magnificent would be the understatement of the year. Words fail me. It’s that good! Flan Pâtissier – French Custard Tart Flan Pâtissier is a French custard tart that is made with a pastry crust filled with vanilla custard and baked. Also known as Parisian Flan, you’ll find it in every suburban bakery all across France.

It’s great for parties since you can make it ahead of time, and a good excuse to drink gin at brunch. What’s not to like? Why Is It Called a French 75? The French 75 first appeared in print in 1927 and was named for a field gun popular during World War I, supposedly because it packed a similar punch. The French 75 is not a particularly strong drink, but it’s so light and refreshing – with the herbal flavors of the gin and the grape flavors of the Champagne complementing one another so beautifully – that you might be tempted to finish yours very fast....

A bowl of fresh, sweet Northwest cherries is one of the true glories of summer. Once you’ve feasted on a bowlful (which we plan on doing quite frequently), you’ll want to seize the moment and preserve them to enjoy when cherry season is over.

These mini pizzas were an invention out of necessity. I had friends with kids around and had planned to make mini pizzas. For the kids, that is. (OK that’s a lie. For us grown ups too). In typical form, I thought I was super duper organised, whirling around the kitchen with the music pumping, preparing the food for lunch. Only to realise at the last minute that I had forgotten to buy frozen pastry for the mini pizzas....
