Serious Heat: Roasting Chiles the Alton Brown Way

Has anyone tried using one of those baskets/pans with the holes in them for a gas grill on a gas stove? Even though it is not one of the professional gas stoves, ours does have more BTUs so I can actually roast green peppers directly on the grates. But smaller peppers would fall through so I wondered how would one of our gas grill "pans" would work also. Perhaps it would just be easier to see if I could find a used metal insert steamer from one of the thrift shops. Oh bother.

They are known for their rice but they also carry other Southern staples difficult to locate like cow peas and rice flour. Carolina grown products.

Cook the Book: 'Beyond the Great Wall'

I have not traveled very much but my first trip up north (obviously, I am from the Deep South) was the awakening to strange, new foods. What a different culinary world that was. None of the food was anything we tasted as kids. We did not eat out as children and only was accustomed to what we ate at home. We had never heard of pizza much less all the other foreign restaurants and their different smells. I became especially enamored with Greek cuisine. To this day, a gyro and baklava is still one of my favorite meals. I may have missed sweeten tea and butter laden grits but what I discovered to take their place was amazing. I had traveled to a wild remote island named New York City.
