Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
I got an email from my fishmonger that they were going to have smelt at the Farmer’s Market. I was bummed, I couldn’t get to the farmer’s market that day. But, luckily, my local grocery fish counter gets fish from the same bay and they had it too! I can’t say enough how thankful I…
Japan met Italy in my kitchen tonight. I got black cod from my CSS (Community Supported Seafood), my weekly seafood CSA. I was in the mood for something japanese-y. I found this recipe for miso-glazed cod. I used the marinade (1/4 c mirin, 1/4 c sake, 3t sugar, 4T miso) and let my cod marinate…
When we were at the Cayman Cookout we had a really yummy Green Curry Ceviche made by Laurent Gras. It was light and refreshing, a little spicy, tangy and just perfect. Today I got Ono (aka Wahoo) from my Seafood CSA and immediately wanted to make something that would take me back to the Caymans….
This is a variation on crab cakes I’ve done in the past. This time I only sauteed up shallots and garlic and threw a little chopped arugula in at the last few seconds. Added salt, pepper and chopped thyme. The hardest part of the crab cakes is getting the crab meat out of the shells,…
There is a recipe in The French Laundry Cookbook for “Clam Chowder” which, of course, is nothing like clam chowder because it’s Thomas Keller’s twist on a classic dish. It’s cod cakes with cod and clams. It’s a fantastic dish, I’ve made it before, actually following the recipe. It takes hours. It is not a…
I picked up my fish from my Seafood CSA (CSS – Community Supported Seafood) yesterday. It’s fun to have no idea what I’m going to cook until after 1:30 when i pick up my fish! Surprise! I came home and pondered for a while. Stared into my fridge….I had a fennel bulb and a chunk…
Shred 2 lbs of potatoes, I used the shredder in my food processor, and one sweet onion. I just picked up some walla walla onions that went well. I also used a combination of white, purple and red potatoes to make these look funky :) Place the potato-onion mixture in a strainer, salt the mix…
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…
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…
4 medium cucumbers (mine were actually pickling cukes) 2 small zucchini 2 cloves garlic 3T lemon juice A small handful of basil 5-6 mint leaves salt and pepper Put all that in a blender or food processor and zap it until it’s soup! I garnished with some chopped chives, a couple of quartered cherry tomatoes…
Rub snapper fillets with grated ginger and garlic. I grate them on my microplane grater right over the fish…works pretty well. Pour juice of 2 limes over the fish. I let it sit for about 30 minutes. Not long enough to cure the fish but long enough to get a good flavor. Drizzle with olive…
Simple and delicious. Grill salmon with just some salt, pepper and olive oil. In a grill basket, toss some broccoli florets and chopped summer squash. Cook all that until it’s done. Meanwhile (on the stove not the BBQ) sauté up some chard with garlic and chili flakes. When the grilled veggies are done, mix those…
More experimenting with the CSA box contents! The one thing in the box that was a mystery to me, preparation-wise, was the 1/2 dozen rutabagas. I sent out a plea on twitter. I got a lot of good recipes. I decided though, being that I’d never made them before, I wanted to do something simple…
This is an easy, quick, yummy meal for those days that are just screaming for barbecue. This recipe is for 2 people. 2 trout fillets, each about 1/2 lb 4T Green Peppercorns Olive oil Salt Crust the peppercorns with a mortar and pestle if you have one or zap them a few times in the…
I had some cod I picked up from the Farmer’s Market. It’s not rock cod, it’s a local Monterey Bay cod that is small and thin. The name has escaped me. But it’s a light, white fillet. This recipe serves 2. 3/4 lb white fish fillet 2T butter 2 garlic cloves, finely minced, mushed with…
