Pickled small boiler onions bring a freshness to simmered beef burgundy that makes this dish unique and makes the kitchen smell wonderful. Only dish I know with a reverse marinade: first you cook, then you marinade overnight in the cooking juices, then you simmer and serve the next day. Tastes great served over homemade pasta, you can find my recipe on cookpad. A truly festive dinner, best paired with an old fashioned heavy red wine, like Zinfandel or Burgundy.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
