Caramelizing onions is one of those things no one thinks you need a recipe for. Just cut them up and cook until caramelized, right? Except most recipes call for caramelizing your onions for 10-12 minutes. Or 15-20 minutes. Which, my friends, cannot be done. At all. You can brown them in that time and achieve some nice color, but you're really just singeing the onions. Or, if they have enough time to start releasing, singeing the onion's natural sugars. And once that happens, it's impossible to achieve that depth of flavor that only comes from truly caramelizing your sugars.  For true,...

There's one flaw in sharing this recipe. Chances are, you don't have a wood-fired oven. Your sandwich might be missing the smoke flavor in ours, but you can compensate by making sure your cheese is extra-gooey, your onions truly caramelized, and your bread extra special.

This week's bread is our Dried Pepper, Corn Grit and Jack Cheese Sourdough. A lot of flavor and spice! Our event manager, Katy, loves this bread with her favorite homemade cheese spread: Edna Lewis's Pimento Cheese spread.

Perfect for a cold winter's night! We especially love this easy, elegant dinner with our sesame sourdough bread. Cut the bread into thick slices, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt, then toast or grill it. While the bread toasts, cut a clove of garlic in half. When the bread is done, lightly rub each piece with the cut side of the garlic. You'll get that beautiful, soft garlic flavor without the harshness of biting into a piece of garlic.  Mussels in White Wine Sauce Serves 4 INGREDIENTS 2 tbsp. butter 1 onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 15-oz. can diced tomatoes...
