Chill Out: Luxardo Semifreddo
by Adrianna Pachelli on
That point in the summer has arrived. IT’S TOO HOT. My legs stick to any surface I sit on, I’ve melted numerous lip balms and plastic cups left in my car, and I have to keep a close eye on my roommate’s air conditioning habits, that power isn’t gonna pay itself.
Oppressive heat calls for icy luxury. This week, that luxury comes to us by way of Luxardo cherries and you neare...

July Cravings: Perfect Additions for Any Summer Occasion
by Adrianna Pachelli on
The heat is upon us. Such a heat wave calls something to get us out of that stinky, sweaty funk and into the world of poolside icy drinks, patriotic fireworks, and memorable meals with friends. And of course, treats. We need treats.
For our monthly Cravings, we’ve brought in some fantastic new products and somewhat of an old faithful that we’ve never been able to get enough...

Make This: Red Leicester Popovers
by Adrianna Pachelli on
Remember how I said I usually buy too much from the farmers markets on Saturdays? Yeah, I did it again. It all just looks too tasty, am I right?!
I arrived home this week with an overstuffed canvas bag…or two. This week’s bounty included lots of different greens, blueberries, raspberries, figs, garlic scapes, hummus, peas, lavender, fava beans, and ginger beer. After happy ...

That Chocolate No One Can Pronounce
by Adrianna Pachelli on
When you enter the downtown Caputo’s, the entrance splits one way toward our award-winning market and the other way towards our deli—likely with a long line of hungry lunch-goers. Right there in the middle lies our vast, beautiful, and inviting fine chocolate selection. It draws you in like a warm, chocolatey hug.
We have a massive selection of outstanding bars, pa...

Fireball Frittata, For Your Brunching Pleasure
by Adrianna Pachelli on
We’re in the full swing of summer, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve opted for early Saturday mornings at the downtown farmer’s market in lieu of sleeping in, and it’s proven to be incredibly rewarding. I’ve missed seeing my favorite local farmer and purveyors of all things delicious since the winter market ended. For me, the market feels like one giant gathering of all ...
READ MOREThomas Keller’s Broccolini and Burrata Salad
by Adrianna Pachelli on
Last week, we wrapped up our annual Classic Cookbook Cooking Class Series last week as part of our ongoing cooking classes here. I love this series because it gives me a chance to revisit some of my favorite cookbooks from some of the world’s most influential chefs.
This year, we featured Marcella Hazan (because she’s my soulmate), James Beard, Alice Waters, and Thomas Kell...

It’s Rough Out There for an Artichoke
by Adrianna Pachelli on
I love to people watch. It’s one of my now-not-so-secret pastimes while I’m sitting in busy places. Airports, restaurants, bars, you name it, I’ve watched people in ’em. While planning the menu for a class in our Classic Cookbook Series, I came upon an exceptional reason and place to put my people-watching skills to work: the grocery store.
Julia Child was the first goddess...

Rejoice: Ritual Chocolate Has Relocated to Park City
by Caputo's Online on
For at least the past three years, I ‘ve been preaching that Utah is the bright center of chocolate culture in the U.S. This year, Ritual Chocolate has proven me right by uprooting its entire operation from Denver and transplanted to Park City.
It’s not like Denver is some culinary backwater, where the chocolate and culinary scenes aren’t thriving. Quite the contrary—Denver...

June Cravings: A Summer Kickoff
by Adrianna Pachelli on
June is always exciting—vacations, outdoor concerts, farmers markets, and summer festivals are one the horizon. And the small amount of gardening I attempt every year isn’t quite ruined yet. Plus, it’s national Accordion Awareness Month. So there’s that.
We’re gearing up for Father’s Day, and it shows in our Cravings this month. We may or may not have been hungry when we pu...

Utah Chocolate Society Turns Five
by Brian Ruggles on
Five years ago, I searched around for fellow chocolate geeks to share in a wacky experiment: develop a local club dedicated exclusively to testing, tasting, and talking about the finest chocolates.
I love chocolate, and I love to share it with my friends, but I wanted a “society” of friends who were as nerdy and passionate as me. So I created a safe harbor for them to join...
READ MOREThe Chili Beak Brownie
by Adrianna Pachelli on
This is the end, dearest friends, to one of the most delicious weeks I’ve had this year.
We’ve used Chili Beak for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We’ve mixed, stirred, pulsed, and baked it into zesty dips and spicy tacos and more. So, naturally, we couldn’t leave you without a knockout dessert option. Brownies! Because duhhh.
Matt recently taught Chocolate Through the Ages, ...
READ MOREMake This: Spinach, Artichoke & Chili Dip
by Adrianna Pachelli on
There are some foods that I refuse to make without a crowd, mostly because I know I’ll inhale these types of dishes with great gusto. Spinach & artichoke dip would fall in that category. Sure, it sounds healthy. Turns out, it’s not (#wompwomp).
It is, however, entirely delicious and a great appetizer when consumed in small quantities. If I make something like this without a...
