Exactly one year ago, I published Kitchen Tested as a way to share my adventurous and sometimes-crazy recipes with the world. Before January 25, 2011, I was posting pictures of my kitchen escapades in an album called “My ‘Test Kitchen’ Projects” on Facebook and I was getting tons of requests for my recipes. My friend, […]
Tomates Cherry En Escabeche
Tomates Cherry En Escabeche. Translation: Pickled Cherry Tomatoes. I LOVE preserving, pickling and candying anything I can get my hands on!
