Feast of the Seven Fishes (Year 2)
Posted on December 20, 2012 by m&m
This year’s Feast of the Seven Fishes is probably going to be reduced by a couple courses to maybe 5 or even just 3. The important part of the Feast is that it’s an odd number of courses. The most traditional of my courses is the baccala alla vicentina, which is one of my favorites. … Continue reading »

Thanksgiving Side Dishes
Posted on November 13, 2012 by m&m
Well, it’s been a challenging couple of weeks on the M&M front; first the hurricane and then my computer decided to die on me. Consequently, I feel like Thanksgiving has snuck up on me. I don’t think I will be making a full Thanksgiving meal this year, however I will do a Thanksgiving-inspired menu. I … Continue reading »

Favorite Fall Recipes
Posted on October 16, 2012 by m&m
While we are in the midst of trying to sell the apartment, I’ve been falling back on old favorites. Last night, I made a version of this Puglian specialty, orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausage and every time I make it, it brings me back to a night in southern Puglia. The meatiness of the sausage … Continue reading »

No-cook or Quick-cooking Dinner for Hot Weather
Posted on July 19, 2012 by m&m
We have been having a long heat wave here in NY, and I can’t quite bring myself to heat up the kitchen again until it breaks. I’m thinking about some no-cook or quick-cooking meals, and of course, the first thing I think of is salad. I love a beautiful caprese salad with fresh tomatoes and … Continue reading »

Cooking in Puglia– Italy Part 2
Posted on May 23, 2012 by m&m
Pictures are always a little more difficult on the road, but I tried my best given the lighting….here are the cooking adventures. Puglia is the home of burrata, so of course I had to make some burrata and tomato crostini. I also did some mozzarella and tomato crostini because these little bocconcini were so delicious. … Continue reading »

Eating out in Puglia and Rome– Italy Part 1
Posted on May 21, 2012 by m&m
I’m back from Italy, and now it’s time to share the amazing meals we had. After a long day of travel, it’s no wonder I forgot to bring the camera to our first dinner at Alberosole in Bari. You’ll have to take my word for it, it was delicious and we feasted. The next day, … Continue reading »

They have been nice enough to spotlight me here and I can’t say enough good things about their wonderful site. … Continue reading »

Recipes for Spring
Posted on April 16, 2012 by m&m
Spring is definitively here, and maybe we’re already into summer with temperatures hitting close to 90 degrees today. It’s time for some no-cook or quick cooking recipes so that I don’t overheat the apartment with the stove. One of my favorites from the cleanse earlier this year was this salmon with pepita pesto. The pesto is … Continue reading »

I am always a fan of pasta for a quick weeknight dinner, and so it’s not surprising that I already have several blog posts to choose from.
