Anadama – what a weird name for a type of bread. I think I was first interested in making this bread because of the name. After sampling some of it for the first time at The Friendly Toast in Portsmouth, NH years ago – it’s been a great go to bread for me ever since. [...]
Brandade is something that I ate for the first time at Craigie on Main in Cambridge, MA – served in a small ball that had been lightly fried and served on top of squid ink aioli. Ok, so that was my introduction to the stuff – and obviously I didn’t set out to replicate that [...]
Everyone loves to eat cookies during the holidays and these will make you very popular. You can bake them tomorrow and they will still be soft and chewy on Christmas. I brought them in to work because it was too dangerous to keep them at home, and they were gone before 9am. If you want [...]
When visiting New York City recently, we got an opportunity to head to Momofuku Noodle Bar in the Village, which after going through the cookbook, was a big draw for me. Going in, I knew that the two dishes I was going to have the most difficult time choosing between would be the Momofuku Ramen [...]
When those first really cold days of the season sneak up on you, it is a little hard to shake off the chill. I came up with this recipe after a full day at work wishing that I had worn wool socks and boots (instead of no socks and ballet flats) and a warm sweater [...]
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 [...]
This post was co-authored (really the recipe was co-cooked) by @taylorbarstow At some point during the winter, I inevitably will get a serious craving for some delicious and wholesome braised beef short ribs. With winter waning, a few of us on a ‘dudes night’ decided to do something we rarely all do together: cook. It [...]
Stew is food for the soul, and that is exactly what I was after with this dish. I don’t make stew very often because it is so time consuming, and with life as hectic as it is, most of my cooking these days happens about thirty minutes before I am ready to eat. But tonight [...]
A lot of cooking for me is trying some thing that you don’t traditionally think would go together. Such is the case here, when I opened up the fridge and found 5-6 lonely but beautiful golden beets and thanks to another great idea from Ana Sortun (chef at Oleana and author of the cookbook Spice) [...]
Clam chowder is a New England dish that has made a national debut. Even in July in San Diego, I would be willing to bet that you wouldn’t have to walk very far to find a seafood restaurant that serves clam chowder. Granted, you might not be treated to the same charming description of why [...]
