Well-Traveled Recipes

This message is brought to you by messy melty burgers and crispy creamy grilled cheese sandwiches...

Since last I wrote, Molly, Caitlin, and I got to sit in on a fascinating and boisterous meeting during which the following sentiment was shared:

"Knowledge without mileage is bologna."

It was mentioned within the context of something totally unrelated to food, but I scribbled it down immediately, nonetheless, to relay in this love note to you. I think it's brilliant, and relevant, and right on the money. The fact is, Caitlin may be only 23, but she was cooking long before her cousin Jackie gave her her first cookbook fifteen years ago. Caitlin came out of the womb looking for the ultimate flavor profile. And she's been experimenting ever since.

You should know that the recipes we share at cookingwithcaitlin.com have been on Caitlin's mind for a long time. Her classic-French training has given her the tools to execute her brainstorms, and the catering business that grew Cooking with Caitlin has given her the opportunity to test them over and over, tweak them, perfect them.

Here I give to you the favorite recipes upon which all of Cooking with Caitlin is built:

Parmesan Tuilles
Asparagus Slaw
Gazpacho 
Brie and Grape Grilled Cheese 
Chicago Italian Beef Sandwiches
Char Cheddar Burgers
Sriracha Potato Salad
Raspberry Bellini Floats 
Candied Clementines
