Chanterelle Camp 2026 is in the books! Quite possibly our largest haul ever. This year’s main Saturday dinner theme was Indonesian/Malaysian — I made ayam penyet (smashed fried chicken marinated in aromatic spice mix) and a few sambals. Best camp-appropriate dish was @neven ‘s who dared the chanterelle rendang. Good times were had, see you next time L.L. Stub Stewart!

I was so impressed by my visit to @thedustyknuckle this summer, I couldn’t wait to do a riff on their focaccia breakfast egg sandwich — and no other than Portland’s own @taborbread whole grain focaccia served as the perfect vehicle to stay in theme. I assembled, in order: aleppo oil caramelized spring onion, crispy cheese frico fried egg, pickled fennel & jalapeño, cilantro salad, mayo.

Beach house cooking at its best… roasted red pepper harissa lamb meatballs over dill labneh and a super fluffy focaccia. Family approved, will definitely make this again. Thanks to the weather gods for a couple days of sun at the Oregon coast!

The meatballs have chopped roasted peppers, preserved lemons, cumin, smoked paprika and all the usual meatball fixins. Pan fried then finished with a harissa and roasted red pepper coulis until everything caramelizes and gets sticky together. Served on a simple dill & lemon spiked labneh and topped with sumac onions.

The focaccia is the Radio City sourdough recipe but held back the hydration to 80-82% since I was hand mixing at the cabin. I also didn’t add olive oil directly to the dough. I used plenty in the pan and while dimpling and it turned out super soft, stretchy, and silky. I will be doing this method again, because my previous experience with this dough had been that it was way too soupy and an excessive amount of oil making it almost like a deep fried churro throughout. This was better! taken in Waldport, Oregon by @ngaloppo

Red-braised beef with tofu “bamboo”. Another great recipe from @fuchsiadunlop ‘s cookbook “Every Grain of Rice”. It’s honestly 5-6 ingredients quickly fried together then thrown into a big pot for a few hours. Out comes the most fragrant and tender-satisfying brothy stew that is great over rice.

The tofu bamboo is “yuba”: dried, rolled soybean milk skin, dried and rehydrated in the soup.

The book also has a recipe for this served over buckwheat noodles. Get it! taken in Historic Irvington by @ngaloppo

It’s been a while since I’ve done a pizza post! I made an overnight room temp dough inspired by @davespizzaoven that’s been a godsend for last minute decisions to do pizza session the next day. I divided the dough into two 16” balls for the home oven, NYC pizza style and three 12” balls to cook in the Ooni, more Neapolitan ish style.

Here pictured: a white pie with sour cream, roasted forest mushrooms, green garlic@pesto pasta, garlic oil, mozz, smoked Gouda, nduja, and finished with an arugula salad (pics 1-2); a mutton handi Indian curry pie (pics 3-5) topped with cilantro and picked onions (I took a picture before topping with the onions); and a classic pepp (pics 6-7).

Which was made in which oven, you think? Hint: the undercarriage is giving it away.

Friendly reminder for the fellow pizza makers: when you add oil and diastatic malt powder to your recipe to encourage browning in the home oven, you gotta turn it down and be real careful using that same dough in a high heat Ooni. I was not quite as smart on one of these pies. Still tasted great though! taken in Historic Irvington by @ngaloppo

Spent the most inspiring day at @canasfeast with @cathywhims and the entire @nostranapdx team. It was the day of Maialata, the feast of the pig, where we learned from chefs @chefchriscosentino and @rickgenc how to separate muscles when butchering a whole pig and turn it into delicious meals for family and friends.

And feasting we did! There was a wonderful lunch prepared by the @haywardrestaurant folks and after the workshops we got to sit down to enjoy wine, pasta, various pork cuts, and best of all, the company of old and new friends who all share the love for this trade. Thanks to all who were involved for a great day and thanks to @judiaann for inviting me to tag along! by @ngaloppo

Baby’s got a new focaccia recipe! This is a partial sourdough ferment with some active dry yeast thrown in for extra lift. Very high hydration with a mix of high protein flours from @kingarthurbaking and @camascountrybakery for that custardy stretchy crumb.

— Heavily inspired by @justine_snacks ‘s variation of the @radiobakerynyc focaccia. taken in Historic Irvington by @ngaloppo

Ayam geprek is a popular Indonesian dish of crispy, battered fried chicken that is smashed and mixed with a spicy chili sauce (sambal). This version with a mango sambal was fantastic. Some turmeric and paprika in the dredge bring color and depth of flavor. Definitely making this again! by @ngaloppo
