This recipe was based on one I found by Jean-George Vongerichten from Food and Wine magazine. I’ve had a container of kaffir lime leaves in the fridge, and there’s only so much Thai curry I can make. Then I found this recipe where he slits the leaf and slides a scallop in the slit. I’m [...]

After the crab cakes and spicy crab pasta, I wanted to make a version of crab imperial I saw on Saveur. I changed it quite a bit, and it really became more dip than main course. I will definitely be trying something like this again because it’s one of the few dips that doesn’t use [...]

After the crab cakes a couple days ago, I moved on to a pasta recipe with the crab meat in the fridge. I saw Mario Batali make a version of this on The Chew and everyone was raving about it, so naturally I had to try it. His version included a habanero chili as well, [...]

I’m a huge fan of crab in any form, but crab cakes are always classic. I came across this method for making mini ones and I wanted to try it out. I have to say, it’s cute for a party and a much easier way to do bite-size crab cakes but I think next time [...]

I won a box of avocados from Serious Eats a couple weeks ago, and I’ve been working on some recipes with them. This avocado pesto worked well with this whole wheat fresh pasta, and also as a topping for some deliciously sweet scallops from the farmers market.

My recipe for shaved asparagus salad won on Food52 and I got all sorts of prizes. (And my recipe will be in print in October 2012!) I [...]

The Feast of the Seven Fishes was definitely a feast. And a delicious one at that. Some of it was traditional, some was a little less so. Judging by the very few leftovers, everyone liked it all. We started with some marinated sardines on crostini, which was a nicely tart way to get our palates [...]

Of all my Seven Fishes, this one had the least successful picture. However, it was really yummy so I’m feeling ok about it. I served this in little glasses because I didn’t want us to get too full too fast. However, on a cold winter day a nice bowl of this with some crusty bread [...]

I got the idea for this one from a Lidia Bastianich Feast of the Seven Fishes, and it’s delicious. It was a little unclear if the breadcrumbs are meant to be sprinkled on top or if they are supposed to thicken the sauce, but either way it’ll work. She says it’s from the Northern Adriatic [...]

I make linguine and clams at all times of the year, not just for the Feast of the Seven Fishes. But piled up in a bowl we brought back from Ravello, it really does look like a party. I tend to remove the clams from most of the shells before bringing to the table, just [...]
