Spring Ramps Recipes (Part Two): Pizza with Prosciutto de Parma, Ramps, and Baby Shitakes
Part two of this post is as casual and simple as part one ‘spring ramps with poached eggs and toast’, and at least equally delicious. Pizza is a great vehicle for ramps because it gives them room to shine, and the salty prosciutto and savory mushrooms make a brilliant combination. This pizza couldn’t be easier [...]
Spring Ramps Recipes (Part One): Ramps, Morels, and Fresh Peas with Poached Eggs
Ramps, a remarkable member of the onion and garlic family, only emerge for a few weeks each year, and it is a time I await with much anticipation. Ramps are wild leeks, and their flavor is a beautiful combination of spring garlic and mild sweet onion. They look a little bit like scallions with wispier, [...]
The Ultimate (and Simple) Warm Broccoli Salad Recipe
Totally simple recipe here, nothing too fancy, but some great flavors and easy to prepare. These are the sorts of recipes that I love to make when I don’t have a lot of time on my hands, because I can literally have them ready in 10 minutes, and it’s a wholesome, satisfying meal. I add [...]
Julia Child Vichyssoise or Potato Leek Soup Recipe – Simplest Soup Ever
Go ahead, say it: “Vichyssoise” – sounds fancy and French, I know – but for a fancy sounding soup, this one is perhaps the simplest recipe we’ve posted yet. When making Vichyssoise, there are basically 4 ingredients – if you don’t count the salt and pepper (white pepper in this case), plus the cooking process [...]
Roasted Carrot Salad Recipe with Avocado and Croutons – Strangely Delicious
This is one recipe that has actually sat in our queue for a while – I wasn’t sure that I wanted to post it, but eventually decided to. It’s certainly a delicious sounding dish when you look at it, and it was good, though I think it would’ve been even better if we had worked [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
A Favorite Spring Recipe: Smashed Peas on Toast with Fresh Mozzarella
Most kids (I was one) hate eating their peas. Reasons for this probably have to have something to do with the fact that peas are usually served to kids in their natural state, perhaps steamed, with a little butter and lacking even the essential salt and pepper. Peas ‘uninspired’, I think I’d call them now. [...]
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 [...]
Savory Rhubarb Sauce with Crispy Braised Pork and Cold Noodles
I recently found some awesome looking rhubarb at a roadside farm in Concord, MA near my sister Elise’s house. I bought it with the thought that I didn’t just want to settle and make the standard ‘strawberry rhubarb’ desert that is delicious but oh so common. ‘There has to me more uses for this stuff [...]
