Persephone’s Drinks Cabinet | Texas Savvy Firefly
Even a cocktail can be local and seasonal. Especially if it has lovely ruby red grapefruit juice in it along with a super smooth locally distilled vodka, in this case Savvy, out of Austin. The recipe: grapefruit juice and vodka in a two to one ratio. A splash of grenadine. Stir. Pour over ice. Superb.… Read More Persephone’s Drinks Cabinet | Texas Savvy Firefly
Roots | Tex-Mex Enchilada Gravy
It almost pains me to give up this recipe. Almost. But I think everyone should try hyper-local specialties: Texas style enchiladas with chili gravy; Taylor ham, egg and cheese; mirabelles.

It’s not really rancheros; it’s just a delicious… Read More Sunday Breakfast | Huevos, Persephone Style
Quick Flavor Boost | Dried Chile Paste
I have been using chile paste in a lot of my cooking lately, because it’s just so flavorful. I make my own and use it in braises, sauces and marinades. (In chili. Duh.) It takes just a bit of time, and if you portion it out in ice cube trays and freeze it, you’ve got… Read More Quick Flavor Boost | Dried Chile Paste
