  • What's Cooking? Marczyk's Hawaiian-style pork chops

    Alexis Johnson Pete Marczyk and Barbara Macfarlane do not leave their work behind when they leave Marczyk Fine Foods and head for their great old Denver house with the big, new kitchen. They usually bring a selection of some of their market's choicest ingredients home with them, and cook up a feast fit for kings ... or at least patrons of Marczyk. Every week, we'll be sharing their recipes on the Cafe Society blog. This week, Hawaiian-style pork chops. See Pete's recipe, more photos and a vide

  • Spam is on a roll at the Colorado State Fair

    The winner and still the chomp Spam is enjoying unprecedented popularity in these trying economic times, which means that the 2009 Great American SPAM Championship, a recipe competition that includes a qualifier at the Colorado State Fair, could be the toughest contest on record. Last year, a Colorado man, Ron Pearman, took the national prize with his Mini SPAM Nacho Burgers, a twist on sliders. This year's state contest will be Saturday, September 5, and the Colorado Department of Agricul

  • Chile today, hot tomorrow

    ​Every year, a friend and I make jalapeno jelly that we give to other friends (what they do with it, we have no idea), and we thought we'd perfected our formula. But this recipe for Rocky Mountain Jalapeno Jelly, created by Jason Morse, chef at Valley Country Club in Aurora and president of the ACF Colorado Chefs Association, sounds like it could blow our creation away -- in heat, at the very least. Every month, the Colorado Department of Agriculture serves up a recipe from Morse that fe

  • What's Cooking? Getting corny in the kitchen with Pete Marczyk

    Lori Midson​ Because there's no such thing as too much bacon, and because Pete Marcyzk's Bacon Candy was snapped up and chewed down in record speed, we've also got a great corn chowder (corn takes the place of clams) and bacon recipe that's perfect for the chilly nights ahead. "Let's face it," says Pete. "The basis of any good chowder is pork." This recipe is adapted from his family's recipe for New England s clam chowder, and is a great way to use leftover corn. "I'm using some left ove

The cooking class, which also included a fantastic lunch with sliders, tomato and mozzarella soup and focaccia, focused primarily on Wiggins's recipe for pappardelle bolognese, which was also the star of the lunch.

  • Ted's Montana Grill goes nutty for apple crisp

    ​ You know it's fall when the Nutty Apple Crisp returns to the Ted's Montana Grill menu -- and this year, corporate chef Chris Raucci is sharing the secrets of the dessert. "Our guests can't wait for Nutty Apple Crisp to return each year," he says. "We receive letters and emails from people all year long requesting the recipe. We consider that the best compliment of all, so we've decided to share our recipe for the first time." The recipe, which makes enough to feed four, follows.

  • Dorm cooking with Hosea Rosenberg

    ​ As I reported earlier today, Jax-Boulder chef Hosea Rosenberg is the official grand marshal at the University of Colorado at Boulder's 2009 homecoming on Friday, October 30. And one of the perks (if you can call it that) of living in the residence halls, at least on Friday, is that the collegians will get a taste of Rosenberg's food, namely his salmon with spinach, sweet potato hash and red wine syrup. You're dying for the recipe, aren't you?

  • Lobster in lobster sauce

    So angry, so delicious...​ I have sworn for a long time that I would never include recipes in this blog. I have raised a (completely ineffectual) stink over the notion of other people including recipes. I have my reasons -- the biggest of which being that I neither like nor trust recipes not written by a working cook, describing his methods for cooking something that he prepares fifty or a hundred times a night, and that the recipe or prep details of a working cook are less than useless
