The Best Pâté You’ll Ever Meet, aka ‘Duck Butter’

board of pate and condiments

When I met Pâté, it was love at first bite.  I remember it clear as the day my daughter was born except I don't have a daughter. You get the pâté point. It. Was. Magical. Toothsome, creamy, meaty, buttery, what the hek kinda enchanted toast is this and HOW is it THIS flavorful! If it was Elizabethan England I would've fainted from delight and needed my corset loosened and smelling salts stat. Instead I got obsessed with that pâté stuff and went on a recreation rampage. For ... continue reading...

Hibiscus Pickled Onions

hibiscus pickled onions

Need a bright and pungent punch to the taste buds? I gotcha. Side note: Does loving pickled onions officially make me an adult? Cause like most brilliant children, I hated 'em growing up. Onions of all kinds were strictly met with a daintily pinched nose and an over-exaggerated "Ewwwwww." ...And then all of a sudden you're old and bitter and you love onions because they're old and bitter too. So now that I'm ancient and almost thirty — it seems about right that my matured ... continue reading...

Mushroom & Liver Hand Pies with Shallots & Thyme

mushroom and liver hand pies with thyme

Sometimes -- you gotta be a lil sneakysneaks. Like when you try to make your kids eat vegetables by hiding broccoli in mac n' cheese and applesauce in brownies. Well -- confessions -- I've been doing the same thing. Except it's with offals and somma y'alls a buncha grown-ups that squeal like toddlers when they hear 'liver'. So I don't tell you. I hand you pie and you eat it and you love it. And then I laugh an evil cackle laugh in my head. I'm assuming all the parents are ... continue reading...

February Photo Story

bar cart still life

Sometimes I just want a few pretty pictures stuck in one place.. February in New England can be downright savage. The cold so vicious it rips the breath right out of your mouth in greedy handfuls. Endless varying shades of muddy gray as far as the eye can see. The sun peeking out in halting moments before deciding to climb back under cloudy covers cause it's too cold even for him. It's as if winter knows her days are numbered and wants to make as much of a bitter statement as possible ... continue reading...

Pickled Raisins with Sumac & Thyme

goat cheese and golden raisins

Pickled raisins? What now? Do we really need another peculiar pickle recipe in the mix? All good questions people, all good questions... And Yes. I'm afraid we do. Because life is better with pickles. Pickle to me = funk & acid. A tangy sweetness that brightens up whatever dish it's thrown at. If I was a food, I'd like to be a little freshie pickle. Bright, unexpected, saucy. Maybe we should all aspire to be a bit more pickled. These pickled raisins certainly do their ... continue reading...

Wintry Porto Tonicos with Blackberry & Balsamic

blackberry balsamic porto tonicos

These here porto tonicos are the earthy, deeply flavored answer to what you should be drinking tonight. Winter is great..(?) Let's try that again. Winter is sometimes great, and sometimes it's the absolute worst. My attitude towards winter is flaky. Like a group of pony-tailed freshman trying to decide who the hunk of the week is. It could be 'omg winter, I love you longtime you so pretty and cozy and let's make snow angels every day.' OR it's 'I hate everything about this season. ... continue reading...

Za’atar Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate & Pistachio

roasted brussels sprouts with pomegranate and za'atar

Let's face it. The humble brussels sprout in all its pudgy glory has become the darling veg of our generation. What was once boiled to indistinguishable mush & slopped onto plates with a whiff of resentment and lost hopes has risen like no veg ever before. I like to think of Sprouts as the kid who grew up on the bad side of town. Youngest of eight, single mom with tobacco stained fingernails worked double shifts at the local diner, dad left years ago when Sprouts was a wee babe. ... continue reading...

Candy Apple Porchetta (Pork Belly)

sliced candy apple porchetta

Say hello to my favorite child. The porchetta is a marvelous creature. Part tender meaty pork bits. Part meltingly glorious layers of fat weaved in. All parts magic. A rolled up pork belly positively bursting with bacony flavor. Excuse me, I'm drooling.  Porchetta is originally an entire suckling pig. Deboned, all rolled up with garlic and spices and fennel and such, fat and skin still in their places, roasted 'til crackling.  But occasions for an entire pig-ling to be stuffed and ... continue reading...

This one's for the dedicated. The long-term love birds that want to eat a lot of cheese together, drink wine, and fall asleep on the couch watching Office reruns by 9pm. True love amiright? But ... continue reading...

Bourbon & Curry Manhattan Cocktails

bourbon curry manhattans

Ain't that spice just oh so nice.  Manhattans are a classic, confident cocktail. Bourbon Curry Manhattans are perhaps doubly confident due to being funkified with spice.  But this cocktail I imagine in my flighty little head as coming from another person in another time. Maybe an entitled youth who danced with Mary Crawley at her coming out ball. Looking for meaning and shirts less starched, he travels to an uncle's plantation in a far away place.  And he arrives in this new country ... continue reading...
