Super Simple Trout
I really enjoy fish in the winter but it can be so expensive that it is overwhelming. Cheap fish is generally also bad fish. Think tilapia. It’s gross. However, there are a few inexpensive fish including skate, cod and trout! Since trout is a mild fish it is best done simply with lemon and parsley [...]

Cranberry Pecan Tart
I love pie. I really love pie. I count tarts as a form of pie. One pie/tart I have never understood is pecan pie. I mean, I’d be kidding you to say that I don’t enjoy a mouth full of gooey sugar every now and then but something about pecan pie is just to much. [...]

Leek and Gruyere Tart
I was perusing West Side Market and was sadly not being inspired by any of the vegetables on offer and then I saw these huge scallion things. They looked familiar but I was completely blank on what they were or what I could use them for. Pulling out my handy phone I gave my resident [...]

The Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah, observed this year from Sunday to Tuesday evening, is one of celebration, congregation, and degustation.

Thirty Minute Gourmet: Spaghetti with Arugula Pesto and Seared Shrimp
Pasta is my go-to 30 minute preparation. Not only is it a cinch to make, but it can be dressed up in an infinite amount of ways depending on what sauce you use. And yes, it’s hard to beat the flavor of a ragu that’s been sitting on the stove for 5 hours, but honestly, [...]

The (green)Market Watch: Brussels Sprouts
Ready to help the hesitant cook tackle an unpopular breed of wild cabbage into a savory main dish. Who doesn’t love having the full spread? A salad, meat with something starchy and some vegetables on the side, followed with dessert. But for me, this sort of tried and true arrangement is now usually reserved for [...]
