Posted in Tuna, basil, fish, lentils on Jun 29th, 2009

The heavens have cleared here in NYC, finally. After over twenty straight days of clouds and/or rain, we celebrated the welcoming warm and sunny weather with something light and bright.

We’ve had such a cruddy spring here in NYC and it’s hard to believe the summer solstice is just a week and a half away. Luckily, it’s been chilly and wet during the work week and sunny and warm at the weekends. It doesn’t make you feel that much better, though. You can’t fully [...]

& A Love-Story

Posted in Fino, Spain, anchovies, avocado, bread, citrus, fish, healthy, tapas on Mar 23rd, 2009

Sadly, neither of the parents were prepared to show-up for this family portrait, but we managed to persuade some other willing citrus to be stand-ins for the occasion.

So, lately we’ve been experiencing a certain degree of apathy with regard to food. Maybe it’s the time of year or the grind of work, either way, it’s not a great place to be for us, and hopefully somewhere we will leave soon. Nonetheless, sometimes inspiration can strike, and delicious, seasonal citrus fruit can be [...]

Those readers who’ve been following us for a while know (and, we hope, appreciate) that we frequently put our bodies and constitutions on the line for your benefit.

How many times can one person write the word crispy in one post title? Guess five times was enough. Now how many times can one person write crispy within a post? Word count at the end of this post – I know you’ll be on the edge of your computer chair. Seriously, the other night I was [...]

Victory = Fish Soufflé

Posted in America, French, Olive Oil, appetizer, baking, butter, cheese, comte, delicacy, fish, food, herbs, parsley, souffle on Jan 12th, 2009

However – even if (quite sensibly) you don’t give a rat’s ass about sports – anyone [...]

Happy Hallowe’en, WANF readers!
