On today's episode I share a recipe for one of my favorite refreshing summer dishes: gazpacho. Coming from the south of Spain, gazpacho features fresh seasonal tomatoes, peppers, and cucumber. Served as a soup or a drink, this recipe will save you from heating up the kitchen and cool you down at the same time. https://kitchencounterpodcast.com/231 Connect with the show at: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kitchencounterpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kitchencounterpodcast Twitter: @TKCpodcast Email: [email protected]

Vinegar has been around thousands of years, and it is one of the most important sources of acid to a home cook. Even though it's common, it can be a bit mysterious. In this episode I dive into what vinegar is, how it's made, and some common uses for the sour superstar in the home cook's kitchen. https://kitchencounterpodcast.com/230 Connect with the show at: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kitchencounterpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kitchencounterpodcast Twitter: @TKCpodcast Email: [email protected]

On today's episode we visit with author Matt Moore about his new book "Butcher on the Block: Everyday Recipes, Stories, and Inspirations from Your Local Butcher and Beyond." Matt likes to say that sometimes to get the best recipes, just talk to your butcher. This book is a reflection of that, with stories from local butchers across the country and a heaping helping of recipes to go along with. We'll hear Matt's thoughts on the state of local butcher shops in the U.S., his favorite cut of meat for grilling, and some tips for visiting your local butcher for the first time. https://kitchencounterpodcast.com/228 Connect with the show at: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kitchencounterpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kitchencounterpodcast Twitter: @TKCpodcast Email: [email protected]
