Trying to distinguish the sheep from the goat. I enjoy the occasional innards, and kidneys may be my favorite, but last night was the first time I had prepared (or eaten, for that matter), goat kidneys. I have to say they weren’t much different from, and at least as good as, those of their fellow bovids. …

paprika-rubbed braised goat; sweet/sour parsnips; mizuna
It was a Sunday dinner, but only remotely related to the kind Mom served in our midwestern dining room in the middle of the last century. I’ve liked preparing and have enjoyed eating goat in the past, although it hadn’t shown up on our table in a year. Then, a couple weeks ago, on a visit to the …
slow-braised goat shank; roasted parsnips; radish greens
I’ve always thought of New Years Day as something like a companionable New Years Eve, or a small-scale Thanksgiving, whose meal demands no particular traditions. I look forward to January 1 because it represents starting out fresh, and it’s such a relaxed setting for enjoying both good food and drink. We often share it with friends, although this year we forgot to plan …
herbed goat chops; cumin-roasted carrots; arugula, shallot
Taking a break from what has almost become a regular diet of fish, and mindful of how much we appreciate goat cheese (which we know doesn’t come from the boys), we decided to enjoy some chevon last night. The chops, appropriately enough, were from one our favorite goat and cow milk cheese makers, who also occasionally offers both kid …
goat ribs, green beans, plum tomatoes
dinner, 8/3/11 An article in the New York Times last year described goat as the most widely consumed meat in the world, but I’ve seen any number of sources on line disputing that. I think the explanation may be in the phrasing: The world may consume more pounds of pork or beef or poultry, but …

new Quebec goat’s milk cheese
I picked up a “log” of a new goat’s milk cheese while I was at Garden of Eden last week. “Le Cendrillon” is described by the producer, Alexis de Portneuf, as a “vegetable ash-covered cheese with a marble-textured rind and a smooth ivory body; acidulous , semi-strong taste that becomes more pronounced with age”. I …
swordfish au poivre, scapes; new potato, tarragon; cheese
Piece of cake. I have been neglecting this blog for months, first because I just got distracted by other stuff, and because I didn’t want to spend as much time on it as it demands. Then it was because of the additional perturbations that arrived early in March, those related to the pandemic, whose distractions …
crab cakes, green tomato salsa, boiled potato, micro radish
Because of what the severe weekend weather had done for local fishing, our regular Monday fishmonger, P.E. & D. D. Seafood, wasn’t at the Union Square Greenmarket that day. Since I had learned this from the list on the GrowNYC.org app, and because I had plenty of vegetables on hand, I didn’t have to head …
pasta, radicchio, feta, garlic, parsley, lovage, breadcrumbs
It was a splendid meal, and extremely satisfying. Barry really loved it. I’m thinking of referring to it in the future as ‘the little magic meal’, since, aside from its other charms, it also betrays physical hints of the original. Everything came together beautifully, and surprisingly easily. My idea was to use some of my stock …
