And in case you missed it the first time…because this is spectacularly good with Corned Beef with Beer Gravy and it’s that time of year. When The Progeny are around the table, I have to make huge quantities, because it truly is…all…about…this…sauce! Continue reading

There is a plethora of origin stories for Caesar salad. The most common is probably the one that suggests it originated in Mexico, in the early 1920’s, made by the Cardini brothers. Mexico…Caesar salad…’Why not try using a more Mexican flavor profile?’, The Goddess wondered…it turns out it was a pretty tasty thought to have! Continue reading

Eggs, garden tomatoes, arugula and cloaked in a light mayonnaise sauce…what could be better to start off a meal? Or for lunch, with good bread? I was reminded of this bistro favorite, in an article in The New Yorker, and I’m so very glad it nudged my memory. This is a delicious way to kick off a summer meal, when the tomatoes are prime and the temperature peaks. Continue reading

It’s time to fess up. I do love ribs. The Goddess likes to gnaw on bones…it’s a thing. And she prefers her ribs to be slow-roasted in the oven, not on the grill. You knew she was unorthodox, but the ribs don’t dry out in the oven. You can control the moisture and well, they’re just better. And dry rub is the secret to great ribs. 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

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

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
