This would have been a pretty routine Sunday breakfast except for the goose eggs. Picture below: A young comparison shopper, who then moved on, giving me an opening. I’ve never tasted a goose egg, so when I spotted [just one] at a stall in the Greenmarket on Saturday, I was happy to learn that the farmer had …

breaded mint/chili/leek-marinated swordfish; kalette chips
This swordfish dish has become very familiar on this site, except that last night the fresh herb was mint rather than the usual oregano, and the micro ‘greens’ which finished it were chard, which may never have made an appearance here. The vegetable was almost totally new to our table: Ten months ago I had served Kale sprouts (the …
mid-afternoon breakfast
(we had enjoyed a late supper) Of course it was effectively lunch, even if it was the meal to break our fast. The ingredients were eggs from Millport Dairy Farm; smoked bacon from Flying Pigs Farm; Backyard Farms Maine ‘cocktail tomatoes’ from Whole Foods; Gotham Greens Rooftop packaged basil from Whole Foods; scallions from Norwich Meadows …
baked cod and potatoes, pea sprouts; collards, garlic, chili
At this point, having already done this basic preparation a number of times, using several kinds of fish, I don’t feel I can write anything that the picture above can’t convey pretty well on its own. The only thing slightly out of the ordinary about the preparation was that I used 2 different potato varieties, but that was only …
‘gilded’ flounder; roasted golden beets, Brussels sprouts
Golden were the fish and the beets both, but the leeks, micro greens, and Brussels sprouts, also a part of this meal, might better represent the gold of the sun, barely visible in late January (fairly or not, we associate that orb with the green above ground more than the roots below). The date was January 30. I …
steak, gorgonzola butter, micro radish; fingerlings, herbs
While there was both a primo and a secondo, it was still a very low-stress meal to prepare, probably helping to explain why it turned out so totally delicious. The first course was very simple. a small amount of leftover celeriac pasta from Tuesday, arranged in shallow bowls with a little upland cress from Two …
herb-roasted tilefish; tomato, oregano; roasted fingerlings
It was a beautiful day, a beautiful fish, and a beautiful meal. I love tilefish, and I jump at the chance to enjoy it almost every time I see it in the market.* Yesterday was one of those days, and it turned out perfectly. I’m getting pretty confident about preparing most fish, so when I …
duck, lemon, thyme; roasted roots, rosemary, micro radish
On the third day of Christmas, our true loves sent to us a, er, ..a single duck breast. one duck breast (12 ounces) from Hudson Valley Duck, the fatty side scored in tight cross hatching with a very sharp knife, the entire breast then sprinkled with a mixture of sea salt, freshly-ground pepper, and a little turbinado sugar (the sugar in our bowl …
lemon-roasted pork chops; mustard greens; pickled beets
This was the first fully-prepared meal I have been able (allowed) to put on the table since cutting off the tip of my index finger in a kitchen accident on the 7th, and I relished every bit of it. In preparation, I went to the Greenmarket the day before, fairly late, as I had only to pick up …
‘gilded’ flounder with oregano, scallions, lemon; collards
I was nattering with the mongers and wasn’t thinking much about the quantity of fish being drawn from the low tub nestled in the ice. I ended up with a pound of fish, a little more than I would normally buy, but the flounder was so terrific that both of us were very happy the number was a little …
