Even without the red micro amaranth garnish, this is clearly a ‘red meat’. I was more than a little intimidated. I had been offered, and had purchased, a frozen Mangalitsa collar steak one week before, but I had no idea what to do with it. The breed of pig was very different from any known …

swordfish belly; cherry tomatoes, marjoram; red mustard
Somebody else said it, but it totally makes sense: Swordfish belly is to swordfish as pork belly is to pork. Which means it’s absolutely wonderful, and explains why I’ve gone home with some every time I’ve found it in the market. Because it doesn’t show up at our local fish stands very often, this was …
saucisson, tomato; fennel-crusted tuna; puntarelle; spirits
He was visiting New York from London so we were delighted to be able to invite him to dinner last night. Until then, while we had only known John through Twitter, we had come to feel of him as a friend. On occasions like this I usually try to serve something I can prepare almost …
smoked rillettes; herbed striped bass; cauliflower, tomato
A friend visiting from Los Angeles joined us for dinner on Wednesday. She had last been here in January, when we enjoyed a very middle-of-winter meal, (as in, duck, cabbage, sweet potatoes), so there was little chance of repeating anything this time. That afternoon I brought home three beautiful striped bass fillets from the Union …
salume, cress; mushroom ravioli, alliums, olives, parmesan
Only a few hours before I began to prepare it, I hadn’t thought I’d be making dinner at all Saturday night, but by the middle of the evening it seemed like it would be the most comfortable way to satisfy our hunger, better than a restaurant, and also better than ordering even a very good …
fennel/chili-paved tuna grill, zaatar; cress; grilled lauki, mint
Early yesterday afternoon I went out to the Saturday 23rd Street Chelsea greenmarket, but only to pick up some parsley and mint. Most of the time I would go there I would get seafood, but we’d decided to play it loose with dinner arrangements. We were going to be in the Whitney Museum at least …
kassler; quince chutney; maple-roasted squash; wild cress
This isn’t a German dinner, in spite of what appear to be some reasonable cues to the contrary. More like American, or, specifically, more like my kitchen. I used my imagination to assemble a meal which would enjoy the accompaniment of the quince chutney left over from our Thanksgiving duck feast, and smoked pork (Kassler) …
kassler, sellerie, meerrettich-gelee; saltzkartoffeln; rotkohl
We had gotten back only the night before, Monday, after being away for almost a week, so the cupboards were almost bare, and Tuesday was not a Greenmarket day. Nevertheless, I knew I could still assemble a decent meal around virtually the only vegetables in the house, a beautiful red cabbage waiting in the crisper, …
spice-rubbed quail; rosemary potatoes; treviso, balsamic
Even without an occasion, quail always seems like an occasion. a brace of pasture-raised certified organic quail from Abra Morawiec’s Feisty Acres Farm in Jamesport, Long Island, each weighing a little more than 8 ounces, rinsed, dried inside and out, the cavities seasoned with sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper, with one quarter of a gently squeezed organic …
peppers-roasted squid; grilled tomatoes, balsamic; arugula
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 …
