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. The avocado gives it a creaminess and richness [...]

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 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 [...]
