Holy moly, thanks Saveur! (Plus, exciting things to come!)
Wow. Just wow. (That’s us! On Saveur’s website!)
Let me get a little mushy. Just a little. Just for a minute.
It’s always so nice when someone tells me that they like The Hungry Mouse. This site has been a labor of love for The Angry Chef and I for the last year or so. Food and cooking are a huge part of our everyday lives, and it’s an honor to be able to share our kitchen antics with you guys.
We’re especially flattered when folks try our recipes and really like them. The proof is, after all, in the pudding.
But we’re always, without fail, totally floored whenever we get a nice piece of press. So, you’ll understand that I was totally beside myself when we found ourselves on Saveur magazine’s Best of the Web list today.
Yep, Saveur. Hands down, my favorite food magazine of all time. You can’t see me right now, but I’m grinning from ear to ear.
And…they listed three (three!!!) of our recipes! Here’s a quick recap of the ones they selected.
Saveur Magazine, Best of the Web: The Hungry Mouse
Ah, pork. These Fig and Ginger Glazed Pork Ribs are so good. This is one of those dishes that looks a little unappetizing when it goes into the oven (after all, fig preserves are kind of brown and lumpy)—and is utterly drool-inducing when it comes out.

The second recipe is for…more pork! These Pork Spare Ribs with Cocoa Spice Rub are succulent as can be, and borrow heavily from Mexican mole—blending fragrant chilis, garlic, and onion with rich chocolate. It’s unexpected and totally delicious.
They also included one of my favorite go-to salads of all time. This Sesame Garlic Snap Pea Salad is packed with flavor and crunch—and is ridiculously easy to whip together.
If you don’t know Saveur, definitely pick up a copy. It’s some of the best foodie reading out there. You can subscribe here.

More to come soon! (Announcements and excitement, oh my!)
Thanks again! We’re so very honored. We’re really looking forward to the coming year.
We’re particularly excited to officially (if a little belatedly) celebrate our one-year anniversary next month. We have a handful of over-the-top giveaways planned�along with one very special announcement.
Stay tuned!

Congrats! When I saw that Saveur was going to start featuring food blogs, I was SO excited. Glad to see that your blog was chosen! It’s definitely press-worthy!
It always makes me smile when A) Good Things Happen to Good People or B) Talent is recognized.
Here it’s the case of both. Congrats on all your hard work this past year. Your support and energy has meant a lot (really.)
Jeff
Yeah, that’s OK I guess.
Seriously – congrats to you! What an honor.
You deserve it!!! I feel like a proud mom
It’s just the best feeling, isn’t it?
Another blogger road tested a roast chicken recipe from one of my posts a couple of months ago and wrote a really nice piece about it.
I was over the moon.
I mean, I write all this stuff,but it barely occurred to me that people might actually cook it. Real people, in real kitchens, all over the world, cooking my food.
Unbelievable, and it makes me feel very humble.
But, and this is a BIG ‘but’, there’s a world of difference between that and somebody acknowledging you in print. Actual paper! That must have made your YEAR.
You’re mixing with the big boys now. Well done, indeed.
Congrats, Jessie – you certainly deserve the recognition you’re receiving. Please keep up the great work!

Congrats to you and yours!! I look forward to future announcements and I hope to collaborate with you!
Could not happen to a better [or nicer!] blogger – this is so well deserved Jessie!
