I really did take pictures of this meal, including some great shots of the vegetables inside the pan both before and after they had been sautéed, but when I went to look for the images today, they had all disappeared. Either I had inadvertently deleted them, or they had been stolen by the kitchen goblins. While each of these 3 …

spaghetti, heirloom tomato crudo, basil, dill, nasturtium
There was pasta, but it was the only element in this dish that had to be cooked; essentially, it was all but a salad. Interestingly, there was no salt (other than that in the pasta cooking water) or pepper. I’ve written about its simplicity before. once the water for boiling 8 ounces of Setaro spaghetti chitarra from …
hake, potato, laurel, oil-cured olives; fennel, shallot, tomato
Normally this would not be a meal we could enjoy in the summer, although it’s a meal we always enjoy a lot. Last night the air was relatively cool, and remembering that it’s a recipe Barry likes to call ‘comfort food’, I decided to sneak it into the last week of July. There were potatoes, and, in a side dish more …
lemon-roasted pork chop; grilled heirloom tomatoes, herbs
Everything looks great together, but it all tasted even better, and actually this is one of the easiest imaginable entrées to prepare. Virtually no skill required – other than a modest talent for food shopping. I’ve written before that I think the approach I used here, and have used many times before, may be the best way to treat a good …
pollock, ramps, lemon, capers; cucumber, fennel, tomato
Pollock is another fish that deserves far more respect than it gets, even these days, and even on its home shores. one pollock fillet (18.25 oz) from American Seafood Company in Chelsea’s Down to Earth Farmers Market, rinsed, dried, cut into 2 sections, seasoned on both sides with sea salt and freshly-ground Tellicherry pepper, placed inside …
breakfast accompanied by garlic flowers, Messiaen’s birds
Nothing unusual going on here. It was pretty much Sunday breakfast as usual, although the plate may have been a little less busy than some have been. But there was that sprinkling of garlic flower on top of the eggs. I could get very used to that garnish, but it’s clearly defined by a short …
fried egg breakfast, no bacon this time
Sunday breakfast this time was pretty minimal, but still pretty, and delicious. My only indulgence was including a bit of habanada pepper, and then a micro radish flourish at the end. there were eggs from Millport Dairy Farm, fried in Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter, maldon salt and freshly-ground Tellicherry pepper, a bit of a dark heatless habanada pepper purchased fresh from Norwich …
roasted squid, oregano, chilis, lemon; nettles, ramps chilis
It’s a wonderful recipe, and it lends itself to some subtle variations(and maybe some less than subtle, but I haven’t gone there yet). This time I included dried habanada peppers, as I had at least once in the past, but I finished it with a small fresh green I had only encountered once before, garlic …
bacon and eggs from an Amish family’s farm
Today’s Sunday breakfast was somewhat more basic than usual (no alliums, not a single tomato, and only one herb and one micro green). Both the incredibly delicious eggs and the bacon came from an Amish family’s farm in Lancaster County. We will be enjoying their smoked pork chops and sauerkraut tonight. the breakfast’s elements included 6 free-range eggs …
mustard-coated parsley-breaded cod; sunchokes; cress
It’s a great fish, a simple recipe, and nothing should go wrong. But it did, a little: I somehow ended up salting this beautiful cod fillet a bit too generously before I coated one side with herbed breadcrumbs and lowered it into the pan. It happens, but I’m more often guilty of undersalting, so I have no idea why …
