Thanksgiving Apple Dessert – Holiday Apple Tart Recipe
As the holiday season approaches, and the invitations to pot-lucks, company parties, and family dinners begin to circulate, we often find ourselves searching our repertoire for crowd-pleasing recipes. I have found that winning dishes for these occasions are those that offer an element of tradition, but also have the ability to surprise us. This holiday [...]
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 [...]
Great Lakes Brewing Company in Cleveland, Ohio
While driving through Cleveland on a road trip last weekend, we stopped for dinner in the historic Ohio City neighborhood. We decided to try the first brew pub in Ohio, Great Lakes Brewing Company.We checked out the whole operation – an elegant upstairs bar, dining rooms indoors that had the brew tanks encased in glass, outdoor [...]
Pot-Roasted Eggplant with Heirloom Tomatoes Recipe
When I was a kid, I was an exceptionally good eater. Perhaps this was due to the amount of time I spent with my mom in the kitchen, watching her create beautiful and aromatic dishes, helping her dice and stir and season. How could I not eat something that I had just spent the last [...]
Braised Lamb Shanks – The Ultimate Savory Dish
I think I’m now convinced that the pressure cooker is perhaps one of the greatest inventions to the home kitchen in a long time. Especially if you’re the type of person who loves slow food: braising, slow cooking, falling of the bone, you know. Basically the pressure cooker allows you to do this sort of [...]
Sweet Plum Cake Tatin Recipe – A Take on Upside-Down Cake
There are few treats from Mother Nature that are sweeter and more pleasing than a plum. Plums have such a beautiful balance of sweet and tart, which makes them a refreshing snack all on their own, or a nice addition to a variety of entrees and desserts. I had a surplus of plums on hand [...]
Inzana Ranch Nectarines preserved with Search Ranch Honey and mint
My friend Katie has become the canning conniosseur in my life and we’ve gotten ourselves silly with stickiness on numerous canning projects over the past year here in California. Something that she and I have in common is enthusiasm for tantalizing produce from the farmers market that oftentimes inspires our canning projects. We both adore [...]
How to Make Pizza Crust and Other Pizza Ideas
We’ve been on a pizza kick all weekend. There’s no such thing as Neapolitan style thin crust pizza here in Las Vegas so Katie and I spent the weekend toying with recipes. At this point we’ve tried recipes from Mark Bittman, Giuliano Bugialli and god knows how many online recipes. I finally checked out Heston [...]
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 [...]
How to Make Fresh Pasta
This recipe is super easy – maybe because it has just 3 ingredients total, or maybe because unlike bread, you have some wiggle room when making pasta. Once you’ve done it a few times too, you can really hone your skills and nail it. This recipe is all about the proportion of eggs to flour [...]
