This doesn’t happen often, but I’ve been at a total loss as to what to name this dish. It’s not quite a salad, not quite a ceviche, and not quite a terrine. Sure, I could have just stretched the definition a bit to fit the dish, but it always irks me when people go naming [...]

Although I’ve lived in Manhattan for over 3 years now, I haven’t actually been to many of the hallmark sites that are synonymous with “New York”. I’ve never been to the top of the Empire State building, and the Statue of Liberty was only a spot on the horizon I’d admired from a distance until [...]

I’m a huge fan of Southern fried chicken. Luscious bits of buttermilk brined chicken with a thick crunchy crust that looks like the forehead of an aging pug. When the urge hits, I’ll even tuck into a bucket of the Colonel’s Original Recipe to get my fix. I’m a fried chicken whore though and my [...]

Bitter melon is one of those things that I used to detest as a kid and to this day, I can’t say I’m a huge fan. It’s a curious looking vegetable (technically a fruit), that looks a bit like a cucumber with blisters all over it. If you hang out at Asian groceries you’ve probably [...]

Okay, this is admittedly a terrible name. I always cringe when I see any recipe that starts with “Japanese style” (replace Japanese with any country). It tells me that the creator either didn’t feel confident enough in the authenticity of the dish to give it its proper name, or they were just too lazy to [...]

This is another one of those weird ideas that came to me in a day dream about food. When I get these ideas I send them to myself by email so I don’t forget them, then when I have a bit of time (or the right ingredients) I can give it a go. It’s been [...]

After subsisting on poutine and foie gras for a weekend, I felt in dire need of some good ole Amur’cun food… Except I also wanted to enter it into the Build The Best Burger Recipe Contest hosted by Marx Foods, which meant I couldn’t just do my favourite classic burger with a huge juicy beef [...]

Spicy Asian subs and the Philharmonic in the park

About 5pm today I got an IM from L that the New York Philharmonic Orchestra was playing in Central Park at 8pm. Given the amazing weather today I decided to run home and pack a picnic dinner that we could eat in the park. I just happened to pick up a baguette at the farmers [...]
