Citrus Ceviche
My take on the classic Peruvian ceviche. The acidity of the citrus fruit 'cooks' the fish. A nice refreshing meal on a hot summer day. It's imperative to use only freshly caught fish!
Southern Peach Shortcake
My mom was a great Southern scratch cook. She believed a shortcake was basically a lightly sweetened biscuit, made to hold up mounds of beautiful, fresh fruit. I have tried to recreate her recipe, and I think this recipe is pretty close! Mom's shortcake was best when made about an hour before serving, to allow all those juices to soak into the shortcake. It's best when eaten fresh, in one sitting, but if you happen to have any leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream if desired.
Chef John's Buttermilk Fried Chicken
Buttermilk fried chicken that's incredibly tender, thanks to tangy buttermilk. After the buttermilk soak, dredge the chicken pieces in seasoned flour and fry them in hot oil until crisp and golden.
