I go straight into hoarding mode at the first sign of cooling air. My summer freezer, once bare except a bag of ice and a container of homemade ice cream, starts filling with meats to get me through the fall and winter. I've recently added one staple to my growing collection of pulled pork and sausages, something I couldn't live without during hibernation mode: breakfast patties. More

Good bread can't be rushed, but it can be delayed. When you're feeling lazy, this bread accommodates. There are the usual steps, but it's all at a slow pace. And perfect for the last remaining days of summer, I cooked this one in the gas grill. Why not? It's just a big outdoor oven. More

I always seem to forget that artichokes aren't exclusively a spring vegetable and that for a week or two at the end of the summer they make a brief, thistly appearance. Wanting to make the most of these late-season artichokes, I turned to the pages of Laurent Tourondel's Fresh from the Market. The cool weather had me searching for a heartier, main dish of a recipe, something substantial but delicate enough to highlight the sweet artichokes. This recipe for Grilled Tuna Stuffed with Herbs and Tapenade was exactly what I had in mind. More

When it comes to Labor Day food, the general rule is "it's more fun on a bun". Happily, dessert can be part of the party when you combine ice cream and hot dog buns to make Chilly Dogs. More

I tend to go into grilling kicks—my latest is a need for spicy heat. It started with the sweet and spicy corn slathered with chili-lime butter, then the smoky bite of honey chipotle wings, and this week it was jerk pork skewers, made with fiery habenaros. More

What's the first image that pops into your head when you think about Jamaica? Bob Marley? White sandy beaches? A certain smokable substance? Perhaps a steel drum band? Or maybe, if your mind tends to jump to more food related images, a smokey grill filled with jerk chicken and pork coated in that super spiced Jamaican seasoning that tastes like nothing else. More

There's something so weird and wonderful about the combination of grilled sausages and curry-spiked ketchup that is German Currywurst. It's one of those dishes that has intrigued me since I first heard about it. Since I have no plans to travel to Berlin anytime soon, I decided it was time to experience currywurst for myself, with the help of this recipe from Planet Barbecue! by Steven Raichlen. More

[Photograph: Caroline Russock] Every night this summer when the temperatures have risen to cooking-prohibitive territory I've turned to my local Turkish delivery joint and ordered plates of Adana kebab served with grilled flat bread, a lemony cucumber and tomato salad,... More

A few weeks back I nominated Fried Stuffed Olives into my unofficial bar snacks hall of fame. This week I have another contender for the list: Grilled Shishito Peppers with Sesame Oil and Salt, courtesy of Steven Raichlen's Planet Barbecue! While the preparation of the tiny shishitos is minimal (merely brushed with sesame oil, grilled until blistering, and salted), the excitement comes from the somewhat volatile nature of the peppers. Once grilled, the flavor of the peppers is grassy and sweet but one out of every five or so is spicy enough to have you reaching for a cool drink. More
