Our Top 7 Recipes of the Year
You loved recipes from a friend, from my wife, and from my childhood
A little bonus email to send you off into 2025…your favorite recipes of the year! Did you make any of these? Have good memories of them? Please, share them here!
By FAR you were all most excited for Jamie Lee Curtis’s Very Famous Caesar Salad. She was a wonderful guest on my Amazon special Dinner Party Diaries (along with Brian Cranston and O’Shea Jackson, Jr.) where I learned about this amazing Caesar salad and her secret technique for “hugging” it!
I shared my wife Patricia’s recipe for garbanzos almost a year ago, and the season is again perfect for their filling warmth:
Another cold weather favorite…pea soup in under 10 minutes:
Quick and fast pea soup
Roasting apples will fill your house with the smells of childhood…at least, my childhood:
Roasted apples like my mom used to make
These pancakes were the ones I made for my three daughters growing up…I know your kids (and you!) will love them:
Olive Oil Pancakes
In a pure effort-to-amazement ratio, this Basque fish recipe has some of the best payoff ever:
Simple, amazing Basque-style fish
And finally…it might not be hot out, but if you can find some strawberries that look good enough, you can pretend it’s the start of summer with these vinegar-marinated berries!
A sweet and tangy ode to summer
See you all in 2025 with more recipes! And always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me and my team if there are recipes you want to try from my restaurants (or anything you’re curious about in general!)
I tried to find a way to direct message rather than post a public comment, but that may not be a feature available to an unpaid subscriber.
While I am so grateful for all the work that you and WCK do in the world, it seems insensitive to make recipes only available through the "claim my free recipe" button.
Why make it harder for people who, for whatever reason, are not paid subscribers? This may benefit your revenue streams in the short term, but the long-term effect is a put off for the people who come to your site to be involved, educated, and appreciated.
And, just for good measure, I'll say that my fellow elderly readers may not be as tech abled as e, and would get lost in the maze.
Lighten up. Open up recipes without click throughs.
Thanks for all you do.
Thank you for the recipes and the good cheer but always and above all thank you for what WCK does and will do in the next tough years to help feed so many people in need.
