A Great Dinner 27 Aug 2013 | 12:25 am
Wish I'd made it.... The Chef was Chris Cannon, formerly of L'Impero, Convivio, Marea, etc. I've always thought of him as a front of the house man, but the guy can cook. The food was stunning - a per...
Pretty in Pink 23 Aug 2013 | 08:30 pm
There are many great cookbook writers, but at this time of year Elizabeth David is my favorite. Her recipes depend on nothing so much as perfect produce. She collects these gorgeous specimens, and...

When Michael brought this enormous cast iron skillet home, I was furious. It weighs a ton. It takes up too much room in the cupboard. And I knew he’d use it exactly once. I was right about the last p...
Hot? Or Not? 20 Aug 2013 | 08:47 pm
Could hardly believe it when I found these tiny (about an inch long) pimientos de padron at the market today. I've never seen them for sale outside of Spain. I pounced on them and brought them home....

Since the late seventies, when I first watched Le Cochon, a film by Jean Eustache, I've wanted to get my hands on a pig and use every single part. But the killing has always put me off; I'm just not s...
My Dinner at Stone Barns 9 Aug 2013 | 11:58 pm
Our taxi from the train station narrowly missed the chicken on the driveway; as he dropped us off at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, the driver said cheerily, “I’m going to try and hit that chicken on the w...
Corny? Indeed. 7 Aug 2013 | 08:11 pm
Been reading all these recipes for corn ice cream, which gave me an idea. What if I just took the kernels off the cob, put them in the freezer, and ate them frozen, all by themselves? Turns out it's ...
