Sauce That Any G Would Love
In the summers when I was younger, I spent a lot of time on canoe trips in northern Ontario and Quebec. On these canoe trips, the fresh food would only last us a few days, so creativity in preparing something as time dwindled on the freshness of the vegetables was a big priority – needless [...]
Basil Pesto with Fennel, Brocolli and Wild Shrimp
Basil pesto, or Pesto alla Genovese as it’s known in Italy is my favorite pasta condiment. Perhaps it’s the combination of the Parmesan cheese and basil, but there’s something about this stuff that absolutely and totally comforting to me. Simple and delicious delivered in various vehicles, I still think it’s best kept simple on some [...]
Did someone say Elk? Yes please.
Cooking with my step-brother Paul is always a treat. He and I look at cooking the same way at times…”what do you have around? Alright, lets do it.” Of course, he’s a much better, more practiced chef, but the point is the same: once you have the confidence and a working understanding of what you [...]
Pasta Melanzana with Roasted Red Peppers and Mascarpone Cheese
The scenario: It’s been a hell of a day. The weather is somewhere between snow and rain – not bad enough to warrant a snow day, but plenty dreary to make it hard to get out of bed. You spent too many hours at work. You feel like putting on your slippers and taking a nap on the couch rather than going to the grocery store, but you are in no position to drop forty bucks on take-out that will feed you once and will only only satisfy you until twenty minutes after you begin eating, at which point you know you will feel bloated and slightly guilty for overeating.
Easy and Delicious Wild Ingredients: Poached Salmon with Chanterelle Mushrooms Recipe
Don’t let me fool you, this recipe is rather rich and rather French. If you’ve never poached fish, go ahead and try it with a fish with a fairly high fat content like Salmon, Sea Bass or Sardines even. It’s tougher to overcook and will stand up better to this cooking process. Salmon is always [...]
Braised Chicken with Eggplant, Served with Parmesan Orzo
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 [...]
Gremolata Using a Buddha’s Hand (with Swordfish)
Did you guys ever see that Iron Chef episode where Cat Cora pulls out the Buddha’s Hand and everyone (including me) was like “WTF is that”? I’ve been looking for one of these ever since. Our friend Tyson brought one over to our house last Thanksgiving as I remember and used the zest in his [...]
A Take on a Northern Italian Classic
This savory bolognese sauce is pared down to the fresh, essential ingredients. But I promise, it’s as delicious as it is simple. I have to largely credit the lovely chef Giada de Laurentiis for this recipe, though I’ve updated it slightly to better incorporate my personal tastes. ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 1 medium [...]
