Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
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 often bring some of their market's choicest ingredients home with them, and cook up a feast. For the next wave of recipes, Pete and Barb collaborated with John Hinman, the former owner of Nosh (now Kaos) and the current baker at Marczyk, on a winter solstice menu, that began with butter lettuce salad with tangerines, candied walnuts, and pickled red onions and now moves to Maple Pear Stiltonsnaps. Maple Pear Stiltonsnaps Dressing:
Jar of Ela Family Farms Apple Pear Butter 7 oz container of Fage Total Yogurt Jar of English clotted cream 1/3 cup maple syrup 1 tsp nutmeg Salt and pepper to taste
Mix together (also tastes great the next day on poached pears!)
1/3 lb Stilton Cheese crumbles Box of Anna's Ginger Crackers
Pile the Stilton on the cookies, and put a dollop of the maple dressing on top.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
