The Chicken or the Egg? When you’d rather have the egg. Farm Poached eggs or Stracciatella?

If you live in the Northeast, by the time February is over the options for local produce seem limited. There are always roots vegetables and members of the cabbage family but these are not for everyone. And if you are looking for a source of protein, there aren’t many other than legumes that don’t involve [...]

On Love and Hamburgers

For years I would end up at steak houses and feel bad about ordering a burger.  I would have to argue with my dinner guests about why I was ordering a burger when there were all these great steaks on the menu.  And that is precisely why I ordered a burger.  Many great restaurants and steak [...]

Spice Up Your Valentine’s Day

Love and spice are great bedfellows, but often these days I find that too much spice can snuff out the flavor.  There is nothing like  spice for a romantic dinner that lingers on the palate without smothering the flavors.  Smoked peppers, Saffron and chocolate finished with a splash of Patron Tequila will certainly inspire a love-filled night.  Smoked peppers are great during [...]

We always wonder why the French are so thin. Remember the best selling book by Mireille Guiliano, French Women Don’t Get Fat?
They manage to eat cheese, Pâtés, bread, dessert, drink wine and still manage their weight. Her message is simple in that she encourages us to not deprive ourselves but just to have smaller portions. Yet [...]

Despite the recent chill, I am starting to see signs of spring everywhere; whether it’s the sound of birds in the morning as I leave my house or the Rhododendrons springing back from hibernation on the North Fork.  But I want to embrace what’s left of winter and start to wonder what winter vegetables I’ll [...]

New You Of 2010: What’s in the White House Garden-vegetables on your table?

· No Comments · Dinner, Winter Recipes

As part of my new year’s resolution to relax, eat better and “smell the roses“, I watched an Episode of Iron Chef today.  They featured produce from the White House garden being served up so many different ways by culinary masters like Bobby Flay, Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse with White House chef Cristeta Comerford.  Despite the players (other [...]

Winter White Bisque: the truth about winter root vegetables

January 8th, 2010 · No Comments · Dinner

· No Comments · Dinner

While shopping the Farmstands and Farmer’s Markets you will find a variety of what I like to call the “winter white” root vegetables.
Unfortunately it’s hard to convince the less adventerous to try these these vegetables. They may still be scarred from childhood when these vegetables appeared on the cafeteria tray boiled to death and unseasoned. [...]

Greenport Holiday Bar Hopping, Star Gazing and More…

December 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Dinner

Don’t let the quiet streets fool you in Greenport. Still waters run deep in the Peconic Bay! I look forward to winter on the North Fork every year. The Village lights, the ice-skating rink and the buzz in local bars, restaurants and shops.
Make sure you stop in to see the beautiful holiday decorations and gifts [...]
