Fond de Jambon
Ok…I’ll be the first to admit that this doesn’t look that appetizing when you look at it in a photo, but it is. It’s ham stock made with the the ham bone (and scraps) leftover from Easter dinner at my sister’s house (and yes, I actually took the ham bone that was about to beContinue reading “Fond de Jambon”

How To Boil Water
Yes that is exactly what it looks like…water boiling in a paper cup. I did it to show my son that it was possible, that the water protects the cup from the flame. It’s also part of a story I wrote for Artvoice magazine on corned beef-and-cabbage, and other boiled foods; click here to readContinue reading “How To Boil Water”

A Delicious Pauper’s Dinner
As is often the case in my house, dinner time rolls around and I look in the fridge to find only a few meager things…tonight was no exception. But one of the (many) good things of having worked for years as a professional cook is the ability to make something really good out of evenContinue reading “A Delicious Pauper’s Dinner”

>Penne e Carote con Aglio e Olio (variation on a theme)
>Tonight when I looked in my fridge for ingredients for dinner the pickings were slim. I’m abstaining from meat during Lent (I know, I know, you’re not supposed to talk about it) so this narrowed things considerably. My crisper drawer held one vegetable: carrots; I also had onions and garlic in the pantry. I hadContinue reading “>Penne e Carote con Aglio e Olio (variation on a theme)”

Broccoli and Two-Cheese Frittata
Though they have a fancy sounding title, frittata (or more grammatically correct, frittati) are really nothing more than baked omelets. They are versatile (you really can make them out of whatever suits your fancy) and in my opinion easier to make than a stove-top omelet. Anyhow, this is how I made mine (a recipe follows):Continue reading “Broccoli and Two-Cheese Frittata”
