At nearly every cookbook event I have done, people ask me what is my favorite meal. Admittedly, my taste change every so often, but if I'm being perfectly honest, the single meal that absolutely always sounds good to me is pizza. This sourdough pizza crust recipe is my go-to pizza dough recipe these days. The dough comes together easily in the mixer, and then sits in the fridge for a few days getting better and better.

Every so often there’s a meal that at first bite, you just know you’ll never forget it. That’s exactly what happened the first time my husband and I had sandwiches at The Village Cheese Shanty in Fishtown (Leland, MI) many years ago. We had just returned from a backpacking trip to North Manitou Island and while we tend to eat quite well on those backcountry trips, there’s just nothing like your first meal back on the mainland. Bonus points that we didn’t have to dehydrate it and then carry it on our backs for several days before serving it in a makeshift kitchen off the trail near our campsite ..read more

Drumroll please! Grilling weather has returned to Michigan and we are soaking it all in. After developing this recipe last summer and making it almost weekly for a while, it was only natural for these Chicken Shawarma Skewers to be the first thing we grilled on THE DAY. You know the one.

Focaccia is a flat Italian loaf bread that is great for sandwiches, pizza, or just cut into breadsticks. It's fun to add in different herbs and ingredients to change things up too, such as rosemary, thyme, olives, cherry tomatoes, or anything you like. When we lived in Italy, we enjoyed a lot of focaccia style pizza and it was a fantastic alternative to the usual thin crust from the pizza place near our apartment. By using sourdough starter as the rising agent in this Sourdough Focaccia recipe, there is a great layer of signature sourdough flavor from the slow rise, and a beautiful chewy textu ..read more
