I’ve been having a lot of fun this summer leading Basque walking tours of San Francisco. When I was in the research and development stages for this tour I had a lot of help from Ana Iriartborde. Ana was an invaluable resource because she and her husband Ganix used to run the Des Alpes Basque hotel and restaurant in San Francisco. She was kind enough to share with me a few of her recipes from the Des Alpes years. She even gave me permission to share them all with you, so I hope you enjoy them!

In case you’re like me and have been seriously procrastinating on finishing your Christmas shopping, I put together a list of things you can order off Amazon for the Basque enthusiasts in your life.
I have a complete Amazon shopping list of Basque things like books, music, and wall art, but I wanted to narrow it down for you to products that will ship to your house before Christmas.
That is, if you order today (or very soon).
And lucky for you, the fastest shipping items on the list are Basque food products and cookbooks! Who doesn’t like food?
Check it out.

The holidays are just around the corner and that means a lot of us are thinking about menu planning.
What to serve all of the people coming over for Thanksgiving? What to bring to your holiday potluck?
Or if you’re having a small gathering, what to make that’s different enough from everyday cooking but doesn’t take too much effort?
One year for Thanksgiving, we had a goat leg at the dinner table instead of turkey. We have a small immediate family, and no one was volunteering to cook a turkey for just 5 people.
So Aita thought the holiday would be a great opportunity to serve up that goat leg his friend had just given him.
Yes, my dad has friends that just bring him animal parts — the perks of knowing ranchers.
In the spirit of the holidays, Mom cooked the goat.
Let’s just say that was the first and last time we had goat for Thanksgiving.
While I wouldn’t recommend the goat per se, I’m all about mixing up the traditional American Thanksgiving menu with your own cultural dishes.
So if you want to work a few Basque items into your meal this Thanksgiving, I’ve put together a list of recipes to give you some ideas.
