Hilah’s Texas Kitchen: Grapefruit Sorbet
Episode Three: SouthTex Organics and Grapefruit Sorbet We had a great time shooting this episode down in Mission, Texas this January.

Read MoreTres Leches Cake
Tres Leches cake (or just “tres leches” for short) is a classic Mexican dessert. It’s a light, vanilla sponge cake baked in the pan from which you serve it, saturated with a mixture of three milks: whole milk or half-and-half, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk, then finally frosted with whipped cream (which technically makes…

Episode Two: Blue Heron Farm, Pecan-coated Goat Cheese Salad This episode was one of my favorite to shoot.

Friends, you have my friend Jessie to thank for the business I’m about to lay down on you. While Jessie is very health-conscious and loves to cook and eat good, wholesome things and likes vegetables and all that jazz, Jessie also, wonderfully, is not afraid to love the holy living caca out of some junky…
Read MoreBasic Risotto Recipe
Before we get to the risotto recipe (which is good, scout’s honor) I really should tell you something. Something embarrassing. I have no idea how to pronounce “risotto” correctly. I flip-flop between riz-O-to and riz-Ah-to constantly, trying to read the reactions of the people around me, to see if one or the other makes people nod…
