Paccheri Pasta with Swordfish

A very delicious recipe of Swordfish and Paccheri Pasta from the Franny’s (now closed, beloved restaurant in Brooklyn) cookbook.

Fig Old Fashioned

Fig compote mixes well with good quality maple syrup.  A delicious cozy drink for the beginning of Fall.  It is a spirit forward drink so add more compote syrup if you would like it more sweet. 

Boulevardier

My new favorite fall cocktail.  Great one to make in batches for groups. 

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. 

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. 

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.

Tomato Gimlet

It is light, refreshing and delicious.  Everything you want during peak tomato season on a warm day.
