This morning began early. (Side note: I’ve been asked a lot recently what I’m planning to do. I’d like to figure out a work day that consistently begins and ends at the same time. This whole work late, work early thing is wearing me out!) Anyway, it began early, running around the apartment gathering my [...]

If you are feeling amorous this Valentine’s Day, consider an easy-to-prepare, romantic dinner for your lover, prepared at home for under $100. These are the recipes that I wrote for the Daily Connection and the cooking segment I shot will air on NBC in Washington D.C. at 3pm on Friday. Not in DC? That’s okay!

My chef and good friend is a Saint’s fan and so therefore, I am a Saint’s fan. If you want to be even more adventurous, get some quail from your butcher and fry them whole, the same way outlined below. Its a totally primal eating experience and a great way to blow off some tension. [...] 1 comment to Wings for the Superbowl – No trip to a bar required!
From today’s winter market, a colorful blend of what’s in season. In January. In the northeast. This is crisp, clean and delicious. I might make the stir fry and put between a poached egg and an English muffin and call it brunch!

Have you been invited to a potluck holiday gathering? Here is a crowd pleaser. Can’t find sorghum? Just use dark molasses, honey or maple syrup instead. The final flavor will vary but will be equally delicious.

Here is a step-by-step recipe for Buffalo-style hot wings. The only only photo missing is for step 1. Step 1: Close all bedroom doors. If you [...] 3 comments to Hot Wings at Home
I have fallen in love with cooking greens. The beef and the sweet potatoes? Those are kind of easy to be successful with. But greens… There is a window between fibrous and grey mush that you have to hit just right to make them sing. In a nutshell, greens cook really quick, so get everybody [...] 2 comments to Roasted Filet of Beef, Braised Greens and Roasted Sweet Potato Cubes
Ah, fickle fall weather! When I wrote this recipe a week ago for the final of my scheduled farmers market cooking demos, I was anticipating a chilly, grey autumn afternoon. Thanks weather.com! Instead it was 80º and sunny, but the soup was just as tasty. Thanks all for coming out and taking a copy of [...] 1 comment to Sweet Potato & Carrot Soup
Ah, Duck Confit. So fancy sounding, so easy to make and preserve in your fridge for, well, maybe ever. Happily you won’t have to find out how long it lasts because once you’ve got it, you’ll eat it. Start here: Duck Confit for a recipe. And then… Duck Confit Salad 2 confit [...] 2 comments to Duck Confit Salad
I deviated pretty far from this recipe at today’s farmer’s market, but my new friends in Katonah-Lewisboro didn’t mind at all! The big reason for changing it was that there were no pumpkins when I arrived. A few different winter squashes took the place of the pumpkin and it was delicious.
