Rice and Risotto Recipes
Zucchini Risotto with Squash Blossoms
While making the rounds at the Farmer’s Market this weekend, a beautiful, bright yellow bunch of squash blossoms stopped me in my tracks. I had never previously cooked squash blossoms, though I have always been thrilled to see them on a menu. I decided that I would fork over the four dollars for a dozen. [...]
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 [...]
Thai Pineapple Fried Rice Recipe with Basil and Wild Shrimp
Pineapple fried rice has always been one of those dishes that I’ve passed up when going to eat Thai food, opting instead for noodle dishes, curry or spicy basil.

Maine Lobster Risotto (Made in Maine)

They’d even be really good for breakfast with eggs or even on their own as an appetizer [...]
A Risotto Primer; and, Autumn Risotto with Kale and Delicata Squash
I’ve often heard Risotto described as a tricky, fussy, or otherwise advanced dish. Don’t be fooled! To me, Risotto is the quintessential “feel it out” dish for the beginner. It does take some attention, but the cooking method presented here (which is by far the most common) is quite forgiving. Plus, Risotto is an excellent [...]
Zucchini Risotto with Shitake Mushrooms
After the dust settles from the invariable weekly visit Farmer’s Market or food store, I’m usually left with some random vegetable in the fridge that probably looked good at the time but just didn’t fit into my weekly cooking schedule. After assessing my fridge items last night, I found this massive Zucchini that was just [...]
