I use the term “stew” loosely in titling this recipe. The result is not so much a stew as a braise, as I use whole chicken thighs and the broth is rich and thick. However, I find it to be delicious and satisfying as a stand alone dish, and as I am always chatting with [...]
Sorry for not posting more lately. Aimee and I are getting married very soon, and that means that our lives are literally consumed by planning and work with little time to do other things we love….like cook and write here on TFD. In any case, tonight was one night that I did find some time [...]
Aimee got me a great cookbook for Christmas – Thomas Keller’s Ad Hoc At Home and I immediately really began to enjoy the organic, seasonal recipe that were featured in the book. This is one of the first recipes that caught my eye, so I wanted to make it. Braised chicken perhaps doesn’t do as [...]
What’s not to like about Chicken rolled up with good ingredients inside and then baked or fried? I’ve always liked the idea, so I decided to do my own spin on it and see how it went. The results were pretty good (good enough to post here at least), and incorporated some very traditional cordon [...]
This is one of those recipes that I’ve been making for years. In fact, chicken salad was something that I learned to do as a kid, when I preferred it over tuna salad, so I’d convince my Mom to get me canned chicken instead of canned tuna. The recipe has evolved quite a lot over [...]

Tyson is currently a chef at Boulevard Restaurant on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. It’s a real treat to have him write on TFD, please enjoy! For [...]
Our crew of friends loves food and loves to cook. A lot of what we do socially revolves around a meal of some sort, be it potlucks or restaurant club meetings. So with it being Taylor’s birthday this past Monday, he decided what better way to celebrate than a potluck with a bunch of good [...]
My first experience at Oleana, the fantastic restaurant in the Inman Square Neighborhood of Cambridge, MA was with our restaurant club. Our friend Amanda Bellino picked the spot, and I’m quite happy she did. This place is straight up wholesome and insanely delicious in every way. Part of the appeal is the fact that the [...]
Tonight was one of those nights when there wasn’t much in the house, it was raining all day, and I didn’t feel like venturing back out into the night to face the perils of the grocery store. I was rummaging through the pantry and I had, luckily, defrosted some chicken, and with only a few [...]
Although I have no Italian blood in me, my culinary gene does. My mother grew up with an Italian step-mom who, along with many classic cookbooks, taught her most of what she knows about cooking. Donna, my step-grandmother, was a quintessential Italian woman: short, thin, brown hair and huge brown eyes, and a genius with [...]
