Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
This is basically the springtime version of my fall mushroom salad. Subtract chanterelles, add green garlic. Voila! Easy: Spinach…wash it, put it on a plate Lentils…cook them with a clove of garlic and some thyme. Choose your preferred liquid to cook them in, I use chicken stock. Green garlic dressing…recipe featured here. To plate…well, spinach,…
Turns out we didn’t invent this drink but it sure was amazing! I definitely prefer this to the standard mimosa. Oh, and we had waffles too :)
I love the CSA season. I can eat ridiculously healthy with very little effort or thought. When all that is in the fridge is vegetables, lunch or a quick snack is so seasonably delicious whether you try or not! The salad was a mix of lettuces, 2 multicolored carrots thinly sliced and one HUGE radish,…
I was torn between two dishes for dinner. I wanted soba noodle soup but I had all these wonderful CSA veggies to use. So I decided to try introducing two recipes to one another. Turns out they should definitely be friends! I have some of the greens-beef mixture left over today which I’m going to…
As my son pointed out, “Sometimes experiments fail.” Well, luckily, I think this one worked! I had quite a few turnips from my CSA. The only way I’ve ever had turnips is roasted in big chunks and I didn’t like them like that. But I do like thin, crispy starchy things with butter sooooo…. I…
One night I opened the fridge to find a wilted (but not rotten) 1/2 bunch of cilantro, some ginger and not much else. I had a rib-eye in the freezer. I always have garlic, shallots, onions in the drawer and chiles from my dad’s garden in the freezer. I threw what I had in the…
I don’t cook with an insane amount of cream. I hate cheese. I don’t eat offal. And I wash my mushrooms in WATER…*gasp*! I don’t understand why there is such a problem with mating water with mushrooms. They grow in the RAIN for pete’s sake!! I went for a little walk yesterday. It’s been raining…
This recipe (if you can call it that, it’s so simple!) was spawned from having too little time and energy to make anything else one night and ended up being a favorite dish in the end! – 1 chicken, cut into 6-8 pieces…I never cook the wings, I save them w/ the back for making…
Take the leftover chicken meat, I had 2 legs and 1 breast left, and cut it into chunks. Put it in the food processor with some sauteed garlic and shallots, some chopped herbs, salt and pepper. For the amount of chicken I had left I used 2 shallots and 2 cloves of garlic, a tablespoon…
I sent a request out to the twitterverse to help me plan dinner. I just needed a protein. I was having chef’s-block. My dear friend Olga Nunes (soon to be featured in the celebrities section of this site) threw “Lamb” back at me. I had never cooked lamb. I didn’t really even know if I…
This doesn’t need much description. Just bask in the salty glow:
I let my 6 year old son pick dinner the other night. He picked steamed artichokes and grilled pork chops. I love that kid. This is the first time I’d cooked artichokes since my interview with Jason Webley, and let me tell you, I can’t look at them the same way ever again! I felt…
First things first…this was totally cool and fun!! We actually started discussing putting some sort of exhaust fan over our dining room table so we could do this at the table rather than in the kitchen. Next time we’ll do it outside instead so everyone can participate and cook their own food on the block….
It has been like summer here in the Bay area this week. Actually more like summer than our cold summer was! Inspired by the sun, I thought I’d grill. This was easy and turned out to be great! First I made a vinaigrette of: 1 large shallot, minced 1 large clove of garlic, finely minced…
It’s gotten cold and rainy. When that happens, I start making more pasta and soup. More comfort foods. More warming, cozy foods. One of the easiest is usually pasta with red sauce. 2 onions, chopped 3 oz pancetta, diced (optional for vegetarians…not optional otherwise!) Cook down until onions are soft and starting to brown. Add…
