If I bought a jar of pickles and ate them and saved the brine, could I slice my own cucumbers and put them in that used brine? It seems so easy, but I've never actually done it.

This happened because I started to think of tomato ketchup as a cousin to gochujang. This got me to thinking of other East – West family relations. When I make a burger, I make it with kimchi and pickled onions, with a spicy mayo. But, that would be too obvious here. So, I made this the way I...

Today I want to talk to you about 5 of the best Persian pickles. Before that, I should say that Iran has good food and very kind and personable people, apart from bad politics. Along with their food, Iranians use pickles made from fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition to making the food...

This is my copycat recipe for my mother-in-law’s dill pickle soup. It’s adapted from Noble Pig, and lucky enough, came out pretty close to MIL’s on the first try! Pickle Soup 5-1/2 cups chicken or veggie stock 1-3/4 cups potatoes (preferably russet), peeled & diced 2 cups carrots, peeled &...

Now to exactly copy this recipe, a type of mayonaise is needed that is not available outside of the Netherlands. It's a store brand yoghurt mayonaise my mother always used. Therefore I have replaced that mayo with a mixture of yoghurt and mayonaise, it won't come out exactly the same but good...

My Dad made the best crock pickles, but I could never find his recipe. A friend shared his, which I played with and adjusted until it tasted like my memory of Dad's. It's a quick, no-can pickle, to have on hand in your refrigerator during summer. I've never canned these, so I can't speak to the...

I had some deep fried pickles at a restaurant the other day and they were absolutely delicious! I tried making them how the restaurant made them and they simply did not turn out as good. I used bread and butter pickles. Maybe I should have used dill pickles instead? They just didn't have a...
