Colorado isn't known for its restaurants (though Denver and Boulder try) but Golden, CO has the BEST pupusas at El Callejon on Washington Ave (our main street). They also make the freshest guac and guava juice. Only open for lunch. If anyone is passing through Colorado, it's worth stopping in Golden for a walk along Clear Creek and a pupusa.
I love that you're highlighting pupusas here, and that you enjoyed them so much! My husband is from El Salvador and we actually just got back from a week-long trip there to visit family and we had MANY a pupusa while visiting. From the photo you posted though, it looks like you committed a cardinal sin: you are NOT ALLOWED to eat pupusas with a knife and fork! Finger food only :) Buen provecho!
Haha, I'm sure he did! Next time, I recommend the cheese and loroco filling if you can find it - loroco is an herb similar to a spring onion and it's my favorite kind of pupusa!
Hi Jenny, Congratulations! Just ordered the book from Omnivore and very much looking forward to cooking from it. Thanks for sharing another menu. Menus are always so helpful. All the best, Dorothy
The ending to Long Island really stuck with me, too! If you haven't read Nora Webster... it's sort of a satellite story to Brooklyn, a bit quieter but also so good.
I downloaded Nora Webster as soon as I read the review that mentioned Eilis's mother made an appearance in it. I do hear it's his best novel, so I guess this is the summer of Colm Toibin.
I love Market Table! I feel like it's such an underrated restaurant, but I also don't want it to get more popular b/c it's still fairly easy to get a reservation there!
Ooooh my. I just made the mud cake. I’m not trying to be dramatic and say it’s changed my life but also … ?! THANK YOU for sharing such a beloved recipe that has heralded years of life and celebrations! This is a gift that will keep giving — can’t wait to pop some over to my neighbours now! (Let me plain and simply say, this.is.DELICIOUS. This frosting is a game changer. Love, me, a person who feels she always messes up frostings)

Ron told me the same thing! Next time I promise I'll do it correctly! Hope you had a nice trip.

Yes, I have a wonderful cookbook called Latinísimo and they talk all about loroco, how it's the magic ingredient...why most people can't replicate pupusas authentically at home. But this is why I moved to New York right? Loroco has to be a subway ride away and I'm definitely going to try to track it down and make my own. Here's the book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/latinisimo-home-recipes-from-the-twenty-one-countries-of-latin-america-a-cookbook-sandra-a-gutierrez/19633052
Oh, awesome! I'll have to check it out, thank you!! I'm sure you'll be able to find loroco somewhere in NYC!
The mud cake looks absolutely divine 😍
I love your contents page! 🙌
I must make that cake soon! Thank you!
Have you made it to the Harlem Renaissance exhibit? I was lucky enough to catch it when I was in NYC two weeks ago and I thought it was incredible.
It's on the list! Thanks for the reminder.
