Chicken Thighs of Love
Valentines Day comes in the middle of the most miserable month of the year. Cold, rainy or snowy, it’s no time to be venturing out in search of a special time. Restaurants are slammed, tensions are high. Why not relax at home, stay cozy and put together a fantastic meal. At least that’s our thinking. […]
Paccheri Pasta with Swordfish
A very delicious recipe of Swordfish and Paccheri Pasta from the Franny’s (now closed, beloved restaurant in Brooklyn) cookbook.
Chunky Turkey Chili
I wanted a classic chili with big chunks of meat, but made with a turkey breast. I mean why not, poultry doesn’t always have to be ground or shredded. Big cubes cooked first to create a frond, a classic sofrito, and an IPA to deglaze. Its not beef, not trying to be, but the big chuinks make […]
Bean Broth Soup
It is probably more of a stew than a soup after all the broth gets absorbed. You can add Better than Bullion to water to extend the broth if you prefer it more soupier.
Tarragon Roast Chicken
A simple and delicious recipe for Chicken using my favorite herb tarragon. Adapted from a Melissa Clark recipe.
Boudin Blanc and Beans
The recipe loosely resembles a cassoulet but I am going to call it Beans and Franks.
Apple Cider Margarita
A Fall version of our summer favorite. The warm cinnamon of the cider works great with the familiar citrus and tequila.
Green Goddess Roast Chicken
Perfect use of all of your fresh herbs from the garden. You can add parsley or scallions instead of tarragon or chives. Adapted from Melissa Clark’s recipe in The NY Times.
Ranchero Sauce
It’s Tomato season and we’ve made a lot of tomato sauce already. But I wanted to do something a little bit different this year. I wanted to make a Mexican tomato sauce, a Ranchero sauce. Yes the foundation for Huevos Rancheros, but an excellent enchilada sauce, and also the sauce that tops a chili relleno. We grew poblano peppers […]
The Plum Sour
The ripe, end of summer plum is the star of this sweet and sour drink. Use an egg white (or aquafaba) to get a fun froth.
