Most of the time, a single entrée plate with several different things on it, will offer two or three different experiences, and occasionally even more, but once in a great while, at least in my experience, they will all come together as slightly different aspects of a whole. This is what happened last night, with …

maccheroncini with romanesco, micro red amaranth
It’s was a gorgeous bowl of pasta, and as tasty as it looked. The original recipe is from Sara Jenkins. two tablespoons of homemade bread crumbs heated in a small amount of olive oil inside a small vintage seasoned cast iron pan over medium heat until golden brown, set aside, the florets of a medium …
mustard-coated, parsley-breaded cod; roasted romanesco
This is a delicious, very delicate dish, but from the evidence of my earlier posts on meals using this recipe it’s clear that I haven’t yet decided how it should end up on the plate, that is, the breaded side up or down. The recipe is clear about which side to cook, how and when, until just before the …
monkfish inguazato; roasted romanesco with habanada
Say it fast: ‘coda di rospo inguazato con broccoli romanesco‘. We had returned from a month in Berlin only 4 days earlier, where ‘monkfish’ is called Seeteufel [‘sea devil’], a response to its appearance when hauled from the sea. I’ve been enjoying using German names to describe food normally not specific to German cookery, but I wasn’t tempted …
pollock, allium, zest, habanada, sorrel; tomato; romanesco
This time I strayed so far from the urtext of a recipe, one which I have used many times before, that I won’t even go into its antecedents. I’ll only introduce the ingredients. It’s a mystery to me why pollock is always so modestly priced at the fish market, because it really is a great fish, with …
skate with shallots, garlic, lemon, parsley; romanesco, chili
picture of the skate, about a minute after being place in the new skillet This was a fairly simple meal, and an extremely good one. Its remarkable goodness was actually a surprise for me. We enjoy skate and Romanesco broccoli very much, and I serve each with some regularity, but they were both more tasty this time than they had ever been before. I …
romanesco frittata with fresh hot red pepper, parmesan
I had some eggs which I did not want to forget to use, so I decided I’d make a frittata for dinner. We love frittatas. We are also big fans of most any vegetable, not least romanesca broccoli, as I’ve shown recently. The next day in the Greenmarket I spotted a beautiful head of this art …
crabcakes on tomatoes; roasted radicchio; romanesco
The dinner was something of a improvisation for that evening, using ingredients I had just found hanging around the kitchen (except perhaps for one very deliberate move, ahead of time, to defrost some frozen crab cakes). That may explain why, in the end, there was a lot going on with this entrée, but it was pretty tasty nevertheless. …
penne, romanesco, capers, anchovy, olives, chiles
I’ve decided to call it, or at least file it under ‘broccoli’, rather than ‘cauliflower’, but it doesn’t really matter what I call it. Romanesco is very beautiful, and very tasty. I think most people, when they first come across a head of this vegetable, have trouble believing it’s actually a natural form (in this …
penna rigata, romanesco, capers, anchovy, olives
The recipe I used for this meal was published in New York magazine ten years ago, and it was attributed to Sara Jenkins, then of 50 Carmine, today of Porchetta. It’s delicious. I’ve enjoyed preparing it several times before pretty much as it was written, but this time I added some sliced pear-shaped yellow baby …
