South Carolina Pulled Pork in Upstate NY
Last week, for the 4th of July weekend, I made a South Carolina style BBQ pulled pork for my family get together. I’d been wanting to make this kind of slow cooked, fall-apart piece of pork for a while. And when I picked up the Summer Grilling 2010 issue of Cook’s Illustrated, I knew exactly what I would be feeding my family.
Cook’s Illustrated is THE definitive guide for...

They’re shoved into a Tomcat seeded brioche bun slathered with creamy ricotta and speckled with tangy caciocavallo. One heavenly bite and this could be Palermo.” i think i ate this whole sandwich in three...

Martha Roasts a Bird
Tonight, I roasted a chicken. And it was one of the easiest and simplest dishes I’ve ever made.
I used a 3 1/2 lb. organic bird sourced from my local Whole Foods. The greenmarket vendor who I used to buy my birds from (Knoll Crest Farms) no longer sells whole birds. They only offer eggs and fresh pastas. Excellent yes. But I needed a whole bird. Oh well.
