average rating is 5 out of 5

This chowder is full of character, with the sweetness of corn, the richness of cream, and the depth of smoky bacon. Potatoes lend comfort while melted cheddar finishes each bowl with a golden touch. Whether you prepare it with fresh summer cobs or tins tucked in the pantry, this soup carries the same farmhouse warmth to the table.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
