Posted in Fennel, Gluten Free, Make Ahead, Salads, Vegetarian
Very, very thinly sliced fresh fennel makes a wonderful salad. It’s slightly crunchy, but not too toothsome, the citrus compliments the fennel perfectly. The rhubarb was a nice slightly sweet, and slightly sour, too. Balance, baby, balance. Continue reading

This is a wonderful dish. The onions are just slightly charred, a tad burned, if you will. Turbot is a wonderful fish. It’s just slightly meaty and a bit on the sweet side. It lends itself well to sauces, and this lemongrass-laced sauce is perfect with it. Continue reading

We just finished exploring the Art Fair in Boca Raton, and we were hungry. So we checked out “BBQ near me”—isn’t technology great? Anyway, less than a mile away was “Mississippi Sweets BBQ Co”. Thanks, Siri…what a find. Continue reading

cilantro, Garlic, guava nectar, lime juice, olive oil, onion, rum, Spices
This is one of those sauces that is as good with pork, as it is with chicken and it’s equally delicious with salmon or shrimp. Okay…so it’s good on pretty much anything. I haven’t tried it on a burger, but I think on a pork burger it could be stupendous. Continue reading

balsamic vinegar, frozen orange juice concentrate, pink peppercorns, Strawberries, strawberry gelatin
It’s always good to have a nice dessert sauce in your repertoire. This is absolutely spectacular made with local berries, when they’re in season, like right now. And you must slice the berries, sprinkle them with a bit of sugar and that’s all you need. But, some years, the berries aren’t quite as sweet. Continue reading

This is a wonderfully flavored rice, with the beans cooked with the rice. It’s pretty AND it’s delicious…win-win! If you’re vegetarian, this can be a main course, but I like to serve it with Jerked Chicken. Continue reading

Flavored hummus seems to be all the rage these days. And with good reason. It’s very tasty stuff. Peas and mint are a natural combination. The lovely cool green just screams summer. Continue reading

Marcella Hazan was to Italian cuisine, what Julia Child was to American gastronomy. They were both geniuses. Both were practical, too. They reveled in peasant food, and the clear flavors of simple ingredients. This is based Marcella’s simple, tomato sauce…with a couple of small changes, of course! Continue reading

It’s almost summer, and a New England Shrimp Boil might just be on your menu. And you must have butter with that. Clarified butter, to be certain. This is clarified butter, but with some damn fine additions. Continue reading

I’m calling this a schmear. But, you can call it whatever your little heart desires…a dip, a spread, a condiment…you get the picture. If you enjoy dill pickles, you’re going to love this. It is THE perfect “special sauce” to schmear on a burger! Think about it…. Continue reading
