The Buslife Kitchen Vol. 2 – Coming May 26th!

Chili Crisp Chicken Salad Sandwich

Chili Crisp Chicken Salad Sandwich

This recipe has legitimately hamstrung my social media for months now. I made this chili crisp chicken salad sandwich recipe all the way back in October — even got all the photos shot and edited — but in the ensuing months I just wasn’t able to find the words for it.

One afternoon at our first Skooliepalooza, while I was slinging samples and selling cookbooks, I heard a woman exclaim as she flipped through my book. She told me excitedly that she was Vietnamese, and she was very happy to see the chapter on Vietnamese recipes.

French Onion Tartine

French onion soup is a wonderful thing. But, if we’re being honest with ourselves, I think we’d all agree that the best part is that piece of bread on top, soaked with onion soup from beneath and covered with a layer of browned, bubbling cheese.
