A Grilled Caesar Salad with Steak and Blue Cheese is filling, flavorful, and healthy! It is also a great way to use produce in your CSA box!

We here at Cuisine Capers know our cuts of meat. We encounter them often. So we don’t take it lightly when we announce that we’ve now named the tri-tip roast the perfect cut of grilling beef available.

Gorgonzola has rapidly become one of our favorite cheeses. We cook with it, we eat it after dinner as a cheese course with wine or port, and we always have it on hand. Much of the reason for this is because we are fortunate enough to live close to one of the top Gorgonzola producers, [...]

After years and years, we’ve upgraded our grill (but more about that in another entry…). Our new charcoal grill has a rotisserie attachment, and I’ve been eager to experiment with it. We have never cooked this way before, so it’s a new thing!

Our new Viking Stovetop is incredible! It’s a 48″, 6 burner gas range with a grill. We went back and forth before we settled on this when we were designing our new house. Was 48″ too big? Did we really need 6 burners? Was adding the grill (and the upgraded ventilation system [...]

Our local paper yesterday carried the news that because Hurricane Frances was swirling away off the coast of Florida, the ozone layer was causing haze and pollutants all the way up here, in Wisconsin. The reporter should have done his research. That wasn’t hurricane-induced haze on the horizon. What the reporter was [...]

It was one of those exceptional days, temps in the low 70’s, low humidity, light breeze and sunny. I decided to cook some of my favorite things. For starters some bruschetta made with this great roasted garlic bread they have at the local grocers. As a main course,  flank steak marinated in a rosemary olive [...]
