Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
I got beautiful ono from my H&H Fresh Fish CSA/CSF and it just made dinner easy. A simple salad with some grated carrot and a bit of cilantro. A dressing of lemon juice, a little orange juice, and a minced garlic clove, salt and good Stonehouse olive oil. I seared the fish with just a…
I made a grilled salmon recipe from the Paley’s Place cookbook a couple of months ago for a dinner party we had. The original recipe uses brown sugar, orange zest, salt, onion, garlic and basil. I took the same idea but with a Vietnamese flavor profile. In the end it was a completely different recipe…
1/23/18 Update: I made this again, I forgot to take pictures again. D’oh!! I don’t want to lose these recipes or the changes I made to them. I will add photos when I make them again for January Christmas (a relatively newly formed tradition in my family that is much easier than getting together on…
As usual, I didn’t actually measure everything when I made this so I’m guessing at weights and measures below. I wanted to make sure I didn’t forget about this dish though, it was really awesome. So I apologize, there’s quite a bit of vaguery and improv to this one. We had a bag of snow…
I first made this for Christmas at our neighbor’s house. I served it on crostini that I toasted with a little olive oil. My son has been requesting it at least once a week ever since. I made it one night and put it on top of crab cakes. That was good too! Then he…
Yesterday was not a cheery day. I am in the middle of a self-imposed, home office, crazy rearrangement of life. The office is a disaster. I’m trying to make it less so. In the process I moved out the old air conditioning unit from the closet, sorted out the rest of the junk on that…
I’ve made Miso’d cod in the past and it was good. This was better. 1lb cod cut into 2-3 fillets depending on your appetite 1/4 c white miso 1/4 c mirin 1T rice vinegar 2t sesame oil 1T Gochujang (Korean fermented red pepper paste) 1″ ginger, grated Whisk together and pour over cod fillets. Turn…
I’m touching on old favorites this week it seems. When I go back to my old recipes though, I’ve updated them or at least made them a little prettier! Serves 2 1 lb Lingcod (it’s blue!!) Trim two nice little fillets out of the ling cod. Cutting out and discarding the bony area and trimming…
I’ve been making this dish for a while but sometimes I tweak it just a tad. This time I added some crispy salmon skin and I don’t know why I didn’t always do that! It’s salmon season here in the Monterey Bay and although it’s not like it was 10 years ago with salmon selling…
I woke up Saturday morning knowing I was making dinner for 10 people that night and not knowing what the menu was going to be. It was another gathering of our 1999 crew. I needed to pick up a my monthly box from El Salchichero and decided I would just buy what looked good when…
In 1999 we lived in an amazing 1890s Victorian on the West Side of Santa Cruz. It was 3 stories, full of histories, a ghost and lots of good food. It is where FoodPorn.com was born. We lived with another couple and their daughter (aged 3 when we moved in) and our friend rented the…
This is one of the best fish dishes I’ve ever made and it’s going to be really hard to replicate! Well, the fish and the rice I can easily do again but the only way to do the broth is to have leftover Pho broth again! I made pho one day but didn’t have beef…
I haven’t made Indian food in ages. When my son begs for mac-n-cheese…yes, my child who gobbles up raw oysters, serrano ham and ramen still begs for the one “kid” food he likes…I make him that and make something for my husband and I that I know my kid won’t like. Usually Indian food. I…
1 lb Sablefish fillets 1 egg + water (make an eggwash) 1 cup crushed pecans (I zapped them in the food processor) sprinkle of cayenne 1 lb kohlrabi with greens 3 cloves garlic, sliced juice of one lemon 2T butter This dish has three elements: Kohlrabi puree (think mashed potatoes), kohlrabi greens and the nut-crusted…
This is an easy and pretty healthy dish. It’s perfect for summer days. Next time I make it I’ll take a picture! 1 lb petrale sole (or any white fish) 1 cup cornmeal Salt and pepper the fish fillets, dredge in cornmeal and pan fry in olive oil. 3 grapefruit: 2 sectioned, 1 juiced 1/2…
