This dinner may be almost the opposite of the one we enjoyed the day before. but, while It was more Mediterranean, and certainly lighter, in several ways, it was a meal of game. For all of their suggestion of undomesticated ruggedness, neither the pork chops nor the chestnuts represented the idea of ‘game’ as much …

buffalo milk spaccatelli, scallion, chili, zest, radicchio, pinoli
It was neither fish, flesh, nor fowl, but, perhaps uniquely, it did include the milk of bovines, so not vegan either. There was treviso, Vermont treviso. two small sliced Japanese scallions from Norwich Meadows Farm and one whole dried peperoncini Calabresi secchia from Buon Italia heated over a low flame in a tablespoon or so of Whole Foods …
sea bass on a bed of mushrooms and ramps; grilled tardivo
Last night I tweeted that I had found my go-to recipe for sea bass. I’ll elucidate. I had arrived early (early for me) at the greenmarket that day, so there was a huge selection at the fish stand. Filtering out the various finfish and shellfish I’d cooked recently, which accounted for a good number, I …
grilled chorizo; roasted sweet potato, sorrel; tardivo, thyme
It was an amazing collaboration of ingredients, really surprising me when I had only expected a workaday dinner. I knew we would enjoy the very special chicory, even if it had come all the way from northern Italy, and of course the sweet potatoes as well. Adding some sorrel to the latter was a last …
pollock, zest, leek, habanada; potatoes, beet chips; tardivo
It is a fine fish, and this recipe is very fine; also, together, fish and recipe can offer some interesting variations, including many more than I have essayed, although I have to admit that this one has become almost a standard for me. one 15-ounce pollock fillet from Pura Vida Seafood, rinsed, dried, halved, and seasoned on both sides …
mutton chops; roast root parsley, sunchokes; baked tardivo
(the quince chutney hadn’t yet made it to the plate when I took this picture) When was the last time anyone out there had mutton? Like most everyone in the English-speaking world, at least of my age or younger, I’ve only heard about mutton when it was being reviled as unfit for a proper meal. …
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 …
haddock, cress; Kassler Braten; horseradish potato; tardivo
Yesterday I tweeted that our New Years Day dinner would be “Germany with some Italian, and, as always, New York too”. I followed through later in the day, and this post describes what it looked like, as prepared for four. We began with bread sticks and a sparkling wine, to toast good friends and the new year …
chicken breast with herbs, micro beet; radicchio, balsamic
Chicken? Yeah, chicken. I can’t remember ordering chicken in a restaurant, haven’t cooked chicken in ages, and haven’t cooked a chicken breast at least since starting this food post almost 8 years ago, but I’ve been thinking about the lowly bird for a while now. I’m also always interested in adding a new ingredient to my kitchen practice (especially …
pasta, pancetta, shallot, peppers, lemon, greens, parmesan
I had decided dinner would be a pasta. I had some very interesting dried forms and flavors, some of them portions remaining from already-opened packages. I thought of using some of the pancetta I had in the freezer, and I had not yet decided what to do with a very tasty green I had discovered a …
