And, if you have to.. you can buy them, too! Adding a thick chunk of Parmigiano rind makes a great way to add flavor and richness to a variety of Italian soups. My favorites are chicken based broths with bitter greens and white beans. But, a tomato based […]
I love avocados. They’re so rich, creamy, and satisfying. Just add at least half of an avocado to any salad and you’ve turned it into a meal. This could work with fruit salads, too. I prefer avocado in my savory salads. But, I’ve been know to sprinkle a little bit […]
Pastina… It can refer to any tiny pasta. Or, it might refer to a dish made by Italian grandmothers everywhere. It’s a simple blend of chicken soup, broth, stock, and veggies. My grandmother added the pastina directly to the chicken soup. So, that’s how I make it. This […]
Hair of the dog cures… do they work? Or, do they just distract you? Whatever helps you forget that you’re miserables is worth a try, right? St George Absinthe makes a nice addition to that last version of this cocktail. There’s a nice heady rush of menthol that […]

With this issue, it’s official. I love Lucky Peach. Now, I just need (not want, NEED… NEED RIGHT NOW!) to buy every single back issue that I’ve missed. And, I’m wishing for a subscription for Valentine’s Day. I’m hoping they’ll do something beautifully graphic with hearts. January 25th, 2013 | Category: Chef Talk, Food, Recipe | Leave a comment

Baked Apple Butter 6-7 apples, well-washed and roughly cubed 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon allspice 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar 3 Tablespoons molasses […]
The Mozza Cookbook Sometimes it’s the simple things. In this case, it’s a recipe for long-cooked broccoli. Many people hate broccoli. But, I love it. It brings back many fond childhood memories. Many of those memories revolve around a holiday table filled with delicious food cooked with lots […] |
