Beef Cheek Confit

I was recently asked what my favourite thing about New York is. Anyone who’s lived here, knows that there’s a lot to like, but one of the things that makes it unique for me is that you can walk down almost any block and witness something you would never see any other place on Earth. [...]

I know I’m about a year late to the party, but I have a new found love for this dish after seeing the movie. I even serve this with my bright and sunny lemon linguine.
Movie references aside, this is a relatively simple dish that does a great job showcasing the flavors of the fresh vegetables. [...]
