Warm Garden Salsa #10DaysofTailgate: The Kick-Off!

By Eliot, on September 20th, 2014%

By Eliot, on November 28th, 2013%

I am taking a time-out from my Christmas gift posts for this month’s Food ‘n Flix feature: “Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?” I was inspired by Moulineau, the French chef, and his pressed duck. Not having a duck press (what a contraption that was) or a duck for that matter, I ended up with pressed chicken. . . . → Read More: Pressed Chicken with Squash and Tomatoes
