crab cakes, fresh tomato sauce; scapes; baby greens
I cannot say enough about these crab cakes as a concept! They’re not only delicious, but also incredibly simple to prepare, can be quickly put onto the table, and, possibly most importantly – at least for people like ourselves – extremely useful they are when the cook is unable to go outside foraging for a dinner entrée. The …
crab cake, collards, prosciutto; baby potato, savory
Note to self: The dinner and wine were both delicious, but the music was extraordinary, plus a huge surprise, since I had thought, as a huge fan of Hans Werner Henze for well over half a century, I was familiar with virtually all the recorded heterogeneous work of this awesome leftist, queer musical and theatrical genius. The fisher folk were …
triangolo di asparagi with tomato, garlic, onion tops
While I was inside Eataly to pick up some bread yesterday afternoon, I passed the shop-made fresh pasta showcase where I got carried away with the the shape of this pasta and the sign describing the seasonal filling (well, anticipating the season just a bit) of asparagus. The rest of the filling was simply ricotta and goat cheese, …
lamb tongue and tomato salsa; fennel; collards
I made such a fuss ahead of time on Twitter yesterday about an “offal dinner” that I may have tempted fate. The completed meal was good, but I knew it wasn’t really great. I think that except for the unfamiliarity of the meat itself, at least for most people, the finished lambs tongues weren’t quite worthy of the excitement. I know I can do …

tuna steak with fennel seed, chiles; two kales
I knew it had to be quick, because we were going to be at an Ensemble Pi concert that night; my instructions were to pick up something at the Greenmarket that did not involve much time to prepare when we got back from NoHo, probably a bit after ten o’clock. The next day’s schedule included an …
cod cheeks with green sauce; tomatoes; greens
‘Cod cheeks’? Well, yeah, I had heard of them, but even though I lived in Rhode Island and Massachusetts for 21 years, I had never tasted them, and I had certainly always thought it unlikely I’d have the chance to prepare them. Then I spotted the rarity (at least commercial) displayed at our local super fishmonger, Lobster Place, while I was picking up some wild Alaska …
