Appetizers Recipes
Salt Cod Brandade Recipe from Caiola’s in Portland, ME – A Classic Winter Appetizer Recipe!
Brandade is something that I ate for the first time at Craigie on Main in Cambridge, MA – served in a small ball that had been lightly fried and served on top of squid ink aioli. Ok, so that was my introduction to the stuff – and obviously I didn’t set out to replicate that [...]
Oleana’s Whipped Feta Mezze with Urfa and Aleppo Chilis
This was my favorite mezze from Oleana in Cambridge, MA the first time I visited, and to say the least I’ve been back a few times. Reason being? This is perhaps the perfect accompaniment for some delicious and soft foccacia or other warm bread. There are lots of feta dip recipes out there, but this [...]
Simple Italian Tomato Bruschetta – The Perfect Appetizer?
Italy in summer is hot for sure, but that heat that beats down also produces some of the best vegetables known to man, most importantly the epic tomatoes, which proprietors of small restaurants around the south of the country grow in small pots outside of their kitchens. I can’t tell you how unique an experience it [...]
Swiss Chard Dolmas Recipe with Feta, Rice and Garlic Yogurt Sauce
Lately, in our efforts to consume locally and organically sourced food, Adrian and I have been getting our produce delivered from Boston Organics. Though it is not exclusively local produce we get, it is organic and the folks at BO do their best to provide as many locally sourced veggies as possible. As you might [...]

Re-Creating Restaurants: Rendezvous’ Delicious Bluefish Cakes with Spicy Remoulade
After Aimee and I had an awesome dinner experience at Rendezvous in Central Square a couple weeks ago, I wanted to come home and try my hand at re-creating a great dish that we sampled. For me, that night was really good all around, but the one dish that stuck out in my mind was [...]
Heart-Warming Homemade Falafel Sandwiches with Homemade Tahini
I’ve always lived in a do-it-yourself household and prefer to cook most meals for the convenience factor (and, as my husband would point out, because I’m picky about where my food comes from, I try to deny this because I don’t want to seem like a snob but have to admit that the more I [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
