warm salsa, shortcut confessions and a fish taco

What shortcuts do you keep in the pantry? With all this recent talk of the Food Revolution and cooking from scratch I do have a confession to make. I do use some prepared foods. I am not ashamed about it, it is still better than a drive through. There are those days when soccer or [...]

momofuku inspired soba and halibut

I come by my love for halibut naturally. My great grandfather was a halibut fisherman. I doubt very much that he ate it like this, but I often wonder just how they did eat it. Did they experiment or make the same dishes over and over? There is no one left to ask those questions [...]

sole for your weeknight soul

This is a quick variation on a piccata. At least that is what I’m going with. It has the basic lemons, capers and a splash of wine. I love this meal because it feels really special but is one of the speediest of weeknight meals. Monday is “fresh fish” day at the co-op, find out [...]

Usually by the middle of September we would have had a hard frost. This summer is an exception, and I am very thankful. I have a very hard time changing from summer to fall. I think fall is nice, but summer is so short that I really don’t relish the idea of fall [...]

I have a recipe [...]

Pan Seared Wild Salmon & Spring Pea Purée

Every spring I eagerly wait in anticipation first for halibut season, then for the wild salmon. I cannot bring myself to purchase the inferior farmed salmon. I would rather have just a tiny bit of the good stuff than a platter or the other. Once you have tasted the wild you will [...]

Cioppino is an Italian seafood stew that originated near San Francisco, as legend has it. It is a delicious tomato wine broth with any variety of fish and shellfish available. I find that it makes a hearty winter meal and is great [...]

Tuna Potato Bake

Dad is out of town, Mom makes easy food. They love it. This is a take on the sh*t on a shingle of my childhood. I think that this is better and even easier to make. I used Alexia oven fries, but you could do it the hard way by making [...]
