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 [...]

Kedgeree recipe

Like a collection of gaudy heirlooms and brik-a-brak from a by-gone era, I have a hidden stash of yellowed and food speckled scraps of paper with recipes scrawled on them. Many of the recipes are tied to specific memories from my formative years, and though the aromas and flavors have long faded from my leaky [...]

It’s the middle of November here in New York, and we’re still having springtime weather. This warm-blooded California boy isn’t complaining, but it’s a little disconcerting, especially with predictions of the end of the world only a few years away.

Sometimes inspiration hits you on the head like a coconut falling from a tree. Other times, it’s more subtle, like a thicket of nettles hiding in the underbrush, or a scarlet box of strawberries at the farmers market. Then there are the times that the route is so circuitous, anything short of a full explanation [...]

Linguine tossed with olive oil, ramps and scallops.
Sometimes I feel like I blather on far too much about myself in the midst of telling you about my food adventures. Still, some of you have expressed an interest in learning even more about me and what makes me tick.
I’m not one for navel-gazing, and can’t [...]

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 [...]

After a morning interview and an afternoon spent scouring Circuit City closeout sales, I was tired and not in a mood to cook. On my way home, I stopped at the Grand Central Market to pick up ingredients for a quick-and-dirty dinner that I figured wouldn’t be worth posting about.
