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 [...]

Roasted Tomato Soup
Lately it has been soup weather. When I am frozen to the bone all I want is a big bowl of tomato soup. The thing is, I really don’t like canned soup. Campbell’s tomato smoothie in a can just doesn’t do it for me. Sadly, prime tomato season is early august to late september. We [...]

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 [...]

Meal-plan Miracles: Rice Crispies, Your-Way

And granted, while the rice crispies served in John Jay and Ferris may be pretty darn [...]

Frittata for Dinner
“An egg is always an adventure; the next one may be different.” -Oscar Wilde No truer words have been shared on the subject. Eggs, though frequently confined to their scrambled or boiled selves, nevertheless pose infinite gastronomic possibilities just waiting to be hatched, if you will, and exposed. And, as Oscar so emphasized, each [...]

Club re-Cap: Ravioli Night!
Tonight brought our 2nd Annual Ravioli Night, hosted by our master pasta maker Rachelle Grossman. It was an up-grade from a cramped EC suite as we met in the Satow Room for the lesson. For those of you who couldn’t make it, here’s what you missed! Thank goodness that the GSSC didn’t meet tonight… As much as we [...]
