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! [...]

Easy and tasty, this is a perfect meal when you want flavor without a lot of work. En papillote is a fancy way of saying “in a packet.” I’m using aluminum foil here, because I am putting the packets on the grill. You could do the same in parchment paper or foil, place on a [...] 1 comment to Fish Fillet en Papillote
It was a beautiful day at the Pleasantville Farmer’s Market! Thank you to everyone who came down and ate scallops and shared your stories and techniques with me. I had an interesting conversation with a British (?) dude who called me out for calling my recipe “scallop carpaccio.” My thought was to thinly slice the cooked [...] 1 comment to Seared Scallops with Fresh Herb Gremolata
Ah the glory of Christmas vacation… A time to relax, reflect on a delicious Christmas dinner prepared by yours truly, and watch lots of trashy television (George, you are NOT the father!) If Santa was kind to you, you too got 100 North Sea oysters harvested just days before Christmas and are spending your leisure time [...] After 28 years of stuffing and sweet potatoes, The Gourmand & I opted for something completely different. Instead of celebrating the authentic American Thanksgiving meal, we made a 4 course meal, including 4 condiments, oysters, seviche and dessert, and spent the day, just the two of us, cooking and eating and being thankful. Our reference was Rick [...] No comments yet to Authentic Mexican Thanksgiving

What I am discovering is that it is incredibly difficult to put into words because so much of the learning is [...] The Gourmand & I are officially nested in our new home, which is amazing. There is so much space and the kitchen, oh! the kitchen! Expect plenty of amazing new recipes from me. What’s that fear called, when you are scared of wide open spaces? After years of balancing my cutting boards over sinks, I [...] Another Mahi-Mahi recipe. Hooray! You could use any firm fish like striped bass, fluke, you could try shrimp too. I bet that would be good. For the salsa, make sure the peaches and tomatoes are super ripe. Its actually a good way to use up overripe fruit, when you’re sick of pancakes or tomato sauce. [...] Clams just might be the ocean’s perfect food. Simple, self-contained little animals that don’t put up too much of a fight. They’re luscious and salty, cheap by seafood standards and super versatile in the kitchen. Enter any restaurant with seafood on the menu, and you are nearly guaranteed to find a dish featuring clams. Little [...] If you’ve been a reader for a while you might have caught on that I think mahi is the best fish in the ocean. There are a few close seconds, but it is meaty like a steak fish, delicate in flavor and so versatile, I haven’t found a fish recipe it which didn’t work. Grilled Mahi [...] |

Nice post man
Thanks man! Nice band.
Hi Ginny! Alas, I need a fairy godmother to pay my way and unless she shows up soon, I probably won’t make it. Are you traveling through New York? You always have a place to stay with me and Mark!
Great ideas Emily! Congrats on your TV spot. Will I see you in Portland this April?
