Warm Butternut Squash Salad with Chanterelles and Brussel Sprouts and Bacon Vinaigrette
This is a dish of contrast. The bright green of the brussels is beautiful next to the orange squash and the butter-colored mushrooms. The acidity of the vinaigrette balances the sweetness of the butternut squash and the nuttiness of the brussel sprouts. The crispness of the bacon is balanced by the tenderness of the squash [...]

For anyone who participates in any kind of farm share or organic food delivery service, as Adrian and I do, you find yourself needing to get creative when you end up with, say, Swiss chard for the 12th week in a row. I happen to love Swiss chard, not only because it tastes good but [...]

Italian Comfort Food: Jamie Oliver Inspired Ham and Kale Tart with Homemade Pastry Crust Recipe
This one was one of the first recipes that I noticed and wanted to try when I picked up the ‘Jaime at Home’ cookbook. It’s one of those recipes that is fairly intimidating (you have to make your own pastry crust) yet ultimately totally rewarding (because it’s so damn good). Jamie Oliver makes this with [...]
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 [...]
Warm Asparagus Salad With Aged Balsamic and Lemon Thyme
We do not appreciate asparagus the way that we ought to in this country. For much of my life, I grew up eating asparagus at least one day a week, regardless of the time of year, and along with many people I know, considered it to be one of my favorite vegetables. When I was [...]
Pork, Spinach and Feta Ragu with Vodka Sauce
Out of habit, I make a lot of pasta. I have made hundreds of variations of this dish, with some sort of ground meat or sausage, some variation on vegetables, and sauce. Come to think of it, I could pretty easily write an entire cookbook full of them, changing the ingredients to accommodate the changes in season [...]
Tales from a Potluck: Oven Roasted Whole Stripped Bass, Prosciutto Wrapped Scallops and a Lot More
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 [...]
