Summer Spaghetti and Meatballs – Part 1: Simple Tomato Fennel Sauce
This is part 1 of a 2 part summer spaghetti and meatballs post. Check out part 2 “Turkey and Pork Meatballs” here. What’s not to love about classic spaghetti and meatballs? I don’t think you can name me a more loved food in America today – kids love it, teenagers love it and adults love [...]
Linguine with Little Neck Clams and Chorizo Sausage
The Italians call this dish linguine con vongole, which simply means linguine with clams. The traditional preparation is often prepared with the option of a tomato based red sauce or a wine based white sauce. In this preparation, we have combined the two, using wine and chicken stock as the base for the sauce, but including [...]
Zucchini Fritters with Honey Yogurt and Mint – A Taste of Greece on a Plate
I’m not sure that any European country can claim that their national ethnic cuisine can rival Greek food in terms of being the perfect summertime fare. I find that every time I try a new Greek recipe, I’m reminded of summer, so why not put together a Greek menu to entertain guests when it’s 80 [...]
Failed Rock and Jonah Crab Cakes Turned Crab Melts – The Summer Seafood Kick Continued
What is it about the summer time that make seafood so appealing? I suppose it’s the obvious hot weather and the light nature of seafood that combine to make a great harmony. So I guess the recent seafood kick we’ve been on lately in the kitchen is justified with the newly welcomed sunny weather here [...]
Maine Lobster Rolls – A Summer Treat!
Two lobster posts in one week may seem a bit excessive, but here in New England, we have to pay homage to one of our most delicious local treats. Plus, I am fortunate enough to be friends with a local fishing charter captain who has eight lobster traps just outside the mouth of the Merrimack [...]
Greek Style Orzo Salad with Kale – The Perfect Potluck Contribution
Summer has always been my favorite season, for many of the obvious reasons. But as a lover of food, what I appreciate the most about this time of year is how frequently the opportunity arises to share meals with friends and family. It seems as though someone is always extending an invitation for a barbecue [...]
Maine Lobster Risotto (Made in Maine)
My family’s traditional preparation of a lobster dinner is just that – traditional. We typically buy the lobsters alive, fill up the steam pot with a bunch of sea water from the beach and boil them. We’ll then take the cooked lobsters and serve them whole with butter and tools for getting to the meat. [...]
A Favorite Spring Recipe: Smashed Peas on Toast with Fresh Mozzarella
Most kids (I was one) hate eating their peas. Reasons for this probably have to have something to do with the fact that peas are usually served to kids in their natural state, perhaps steamed, with a little butter and lacking even the essential salt and pepper. Peas ‘uninspired’, I think I’d call them now. [...]
