This meal incorporated the last of the chicories and tender greens from Campo Rosso Farm which we had enjoyed as a ‘take home’ from a recent farm dinner at Untitled. As simple as it was, both the tastes and colors just happened to work out as something of an overture to the Thanksgiving meal which succeeded it …

chicories, tender greens, smoked salmon, bread; cheese
We expected to be away from home on Friday evening, so I had not gone to the Greenmarket. Instead I was prepared to quickly ‘compose’ a salad when we returned. We never left, but the composed salad remained our dinner nevertheless, followed by a cheese course. The ingredients were: some more of the colorful mixture of various …
baked cod, potato, smoked chili, tomato; corn on the cob
The small ears of corn were a little larger than the last time I had served them, which pleased me at first, but it turned out both a plus and a minus. Larger ears, it had seemed, would be a good thing, although I can’t say exactly why I had thought that. It did mean that …
marinated, breaded swordfish, potatoes; tardivo, balsamic
Dinner was good, very good. While we were enjoying it I thought to myself, surprisingly good, but if I had considered our routinely good experiences with the terrific fresh swordfish we can get in Manhattan, I couldn’t have been surprised. one beautiful 16.5 ounce swordfish steak from American Seafood Company halved, marinated on an ironstone platter …
new year’s eve prosciutto; truffle agnolotti, pepper, chicory
And Champagne of course. The picture above was taken in the subdued light of the dining gallery, which I normally can’t trust to be bright enough for an unblurred image. It worked this time, but I didn’t trust it for a second shot, so I took a picture of the pasta while it was still …
fennel-grilled tuna; tomatoes; treviso with balsamic, lovage
We’re really crazy about tuna steaks prepared this easy way, and I don’t object to the fact it’s simpler than pie to do. What surprised me this time was how formidable a rival the vegetable accompaniment I’d chosen turned out to be. It too could hardly have been easier to prepare, which was also a …
basil-stuffed scallops; roasted treviso, thyme, balsamic
I love this recipe for scallops, even if I sometimes think I should leave these little fanned-shell mollusks to show on their own, skipping the garlic and herb. And I’m crazy about any radicchio, in fact, any kind of the chicories. There are so many ways to enjoy radicchio in its various guises, but oven roasting is …
mafaldine, shallots, treviso, wine, micro scallion; parmesan
I waited too long to head out to Eataly for some crabmeat, which I had thought would be the only possibility for an elegant New Years Eve dinner I had planned only at the last minute. They had totally run out of their supply. Considering my options while standing near the glass display cases of the fresh pasta …
grilled: steak, balsamic-marinated treviso, eggplant & olives
I used 3 different grill pans in putting this meal together. That may be a first. It may also have been the first time I included some form of garlic in each element of an entrée, although probably not. But I forgot to include the color. The image is embarrassingly monochromatic; I hadn’t thought about the aesthetic effect until I …
sea bass, mushrooms, parsley, micro dandelion; radicchio
I zeroed in on the part of the sign at American Seafood Company in the Union Square Greenmarket today that said they had black sea bass. Now I love that fish, but at the moment I was most likely to have been thinking about the fact that I could put those fillets on our table more quickly, and with …
