Let Them Eat Pork! Poached and Roasted Pig Hocks

The largely unknown city of Compiegne, France, has the distinction of being the site of one of Louis XV’s most extravagant homes away from home. Under him, the Chateau de Compiegne became one of three distinctly opulent seats of government alongside Versailles and Fontainbleau. The latter French monarchs were hardly known for their desire to […]
Haitian Celebration: Griyot ak Diri ak Pwa
(Fried, Marinated Pork Chunks with Rice and Beans)
Posted in African, allspice, bacon, braised, brown sugar, cabbage, carrots, diversity, fried, Garlic, gravy, Haitian, Meat, parsley, peppers, pork, Recipes, spicy, tradition on Oct 15th, 2010
“Griyo is madd good. If you have neva tasted it, you are missing a lot.” So much of what we think we know of Haiti is bad – from the massive human suffering and destruction caused by January’s earthquake, to decades of political and social unrest, to blood-curdling tales of voodoo curses and zombies – […]
Hake “Juan Mari Arzak”: The Dish That Inspired a Revolution
Posted in Clams, culture, fish, Gallego, Garlic, healthy, history, Jose Andres, Olive Oil, parsley, Paul Bocuse, Recipe, sauce, seafood, Spain, sustainable, tapas, tradition, travel, white fish on Feb 3rd, 2010
It is no coincidence that, in the 30 years since Franco’s death, Spanish creativity in the arts, architecture, business, and gastronomy has blossomed. It is also no coincidence that it has been, predominantly, though not exclusively, Spain’s sub-national and regional groups — who were repressed most viciously by the Fascist dictator — that have led […]
The Greatest Form of Flattery: Blatantly Copying Fergus Henderson’s Roasted Marrow Bones with Parsley Salad
Posted in Bourdain, cornichons, Fergus Henderson, Gabrielle Hamilton, gherkins, London, Meat, parsley, podcast, Prune, salt on Nov 14th, 2009
Sometimes there is just no reason to be extra creative and come up with your own spin on a dish. Sometimes you just have to follow a recipe exactly as it is. Sometimes you have to trust that the least amount of ingredients and cooking time is just right – no need for tweaking or […]
Garlic Soup: Pure Auvergnat Peasant Food
Posted in appetizer, bread, Fall, flour, France, French, Garlic, parsley, Recipe, soup, wine on Nov 2nd, 2009
Turning rustic country fare into a slick restaurant best-seller has become so hackneyed these days that finding a post-modern reconstructed pot-au-feu for $45 in a hot new city dining spot can’t be far away. However, (and while we may be wrong) it might be a while before this garlic and wine soup hits high-end eateries […]
Roast Strips in the Stable…

No, friends, let me reassure you that you have not accidentally stumbled upon some weird, faux-rustic “pron” site. For good or bad, the only p0rn you’ll find here is daring, ultra-close-up pics of the juicy, young flesh of pasture-fed Argentine cattle. And the only things being roasted (or stripping for that matter) are long strips […]
Inspired? Hardly. Delicious? Very.
Monkfish with Almond-Tangerine Sauce
Posted in almond, couscous, crispy, egg, fish, fried, healthy, Jose Andres, lemon, nuts, Olive Oil, olives, oranges, parsley, Recipe, sauce, seafood, side dish, vegetables on Mar 19th, 2009
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 […]
Top Five of the Month Contest – March: Fresh Herbs
Posted in basil, chives, cilantro, herbs, lavender, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, sorrel, tarragon, thyme, watercress on Mar 15th, 2009
The contest has ended for this month. Come on back next month for a new “Top 5”! Check out Top 5 Herbs winner here. Spring hasn’t exactly sprung yet here in Brooklyn. The trees are still bare and are showing no signs of sprouting anything. Even the crocuses, let alone the daffodils, remain mostly tuberly […]
Black Tagliatelle with Parsnip Ribbons & Infectious TV Chefs
Posted in aglio e olio, asparagus, Jamie Oliver, Olive Oil, parsley, parsnips, Pasta, Recipe, squid ink, vegetables, vegetarian on Feb 11th, 2009
In my opinion, infectious enthusiasm should be treated in exactly the same way as all infectious diseases; i.e. quashed ruthlessly with whatever combination of chemicals is necessary. With that statement out there, it’s probably unnecessary to further outline my feelings towards TV’s favorite, lovable faux-Cockney, Jamie Oliver. However, and as I have referred to in at least […]
Suet: Putting the “Eye” in Dumpl-i-ngs

File this one under “utter fabrications told to you by older sibling and believed for too long”. I must have been very young when my sister (15 months my senior) informed me that I should be wary of eating my grandmother’s suet dumplings because suet was the gooey material supporting bovine eye-balls. Quite where she got this […]
Victory = Fish Soufflé
Posted in America, appetizer, baking, butter, cheese, comte, delicacy, fish, French, herbs, Olive Oil, parsley, souffle on Jan 12th, 2009
Perhaps the day that both our teams (Manchester United & Philadelphia Eagles) won unlikely decisive victories in the realm of competitive sports, is the best day to dwell on the recent personal glory of our seafood soufflés staying up. However – even if (quite sensibly) you don’t give a rat’s ass about sports – anyone […]
Eating Nose to Tail in London & A Podcast

Since Amy and I have been together I think we’ve only spent two Thanksgivings in America – not because we don’t enjoy turkey, but because it is often the cheapest time of the year to leave the country as many expat Americans are returning home. And true to form, this year, despite a sizable delay […]
Morcilla-Stuffed Squid – Bloody Hell!

A lot of people love Jamie Oliver for his informal, cheekie-chappie attitude and antics, which they welcome as a nice break from the seemingly unapproachable TV chefs of the past. Personally, I find his mockney styles and instant familiarity grating, and have let this issue influence my opinion of his cooking. However, I’m big enough […]
(A Bit Like) Deconstructed Souvlaki – Grilled Lamb Shoulder Chop with Herbed Yogurt Sauce and Pita
Posted in Greek, grilled, grilling, herbs, lamb, mint, parsley, yogurt on May 27th, 2008
As one of the biggest grilling weekend just passed (Memorial Day in the US), we thought, why not throw up another grillable meal? How about this “deconstructed souvlaki” we threw together recently? Ok, so souvlaki is traditionally made with pork and it’s always skewered, but if you order “ena souvlaki pita” in Greece you’ll supposedly […]
Asturian Oxtail (Rabo de Buey Asturiano) – Remaking A Delicious Spanish Meal

If you are a regular reader of our blog, perhaps you remember this post on my husband’s near-death by gluttony as he ate his way through a giant Asturian meal – fabada. While I had to listen to his groans and watch the thick beads of sweat roll down the side of his head as […]
Getting 6 Meals out of $5 – Italian Style Roasted Pork Shoulder with Salsa Verde and Creamy Risotto
Posted in anchovies, cheap meal, easy, Garlic, herbs, Italian, lemon, Olive Oil, parsley, Pernil, pork, Recipe, Recipes, skin, slow cooking, thyme on Apr 6th, 2008
One of the tastiest and cheapest things I can buy in my grocery store is a bone-in pork shoulder. When I saw that they were on sale for 79 cents (YES, that’s right) a pound, I figured I’d pick one up. For only two of us, I bought the smallest one I found – a […]
Trying Hard To ‘Think Spring’ – Parsley, Garlic and Parmigiano-Stuffed Artichokes

With artichokes on sale for 98 cents each (better than the rabbit we bought the other week!), I just had to pick a few up. For some reason, I only grabbed two thinking I would make an appetizer or a side-dish with them. Well, let me tell you, this slight adaptation of a Mario Batali […]
Eating the Easter Bunny and Our First Podcast

It’s the Thursday after Easter and most people out there are still picking the candy and chocolate out of their teeth having just gorged themselves on all manner of Easter Bunny-shaped confectionery. Ever the destroyers of convention, we have been doing something altogether more real and, some may say, sinister. Yes, friends, cover your children’s […]
Some Like it Moist – Whole Fish Baked In a Big Ol’ Mound of Salt & A Side of Okra Fritters w/ Louisiana Remoulade

Salt. Does this word get your stomach growling? Get your mouth salivating? Lips smacking? Make you want to just ‘dig in’? Probably not. But could we live without it? Most definitely not. Doing some brief research on this dietary mineral not only “schooled” me on its lengthy history, but it also made me majorly appreciate […]
Ribollita – How Come Peasant Food Tastes SO Good?
Posted in beans, bread, cabbage, cheap meal, healthy, Italian, Italy, kale, parsley, Potato, Recipe, Recipes, sausage, soup, stew, tradition, tuscany, vegetables, vegetarian, weather on Feb 21st, 2008
Continuing with more comforting winter foods, I decided one night to make Ribollita again. Traditionally, this Tuscan dish is usually made one day using whatever leftovers were around and reboiled (what ribollita literally means in Italian) the next for even more of a flavor power-punch. I also read that ribollita should take a total of […]

Apologies for the break since our last post. The husband’s sister got married last weekend in London and we took a break in Madrid afterwards. The city is beautiful and energetic with an unbelievable food and drink scene. I have some extra padding around the waist to prove it! We are eating salads and meat-free […]

I’ve just died and gone to heaven. I just cooked with guanciale (cured pigs jowels/cheeks). I just ate guanciale while sitting back on my couch in my crowded, rent-is-just-too-damn-high apartment watching TV. If only every night could be like this. If you read our blog (or know us personally) you will know how important Italy […]
Another Easy Meal 3 – Ground Lamb “Kabobs” (Lamb Kubideh)
Posted in beef, cheese, culture, feta, Garlic, grilled, ground meat, lamb, language, Lebanese, lemon, lower fat, Meat, parsley, pita, pork, quick meal, Recipe, Recipes, sauce, skewers, tradition, yogurt on Dec 3rd, 2007
This is one of those meals we often make in the winter when we want something tasty, filling, but not high in fat. By cooking the ‘kabobs’ on the flat griddle pan, the fat drips off into the drip pan part of the griddle leaving us with a leaner kabob. I’ve been meaning to post […]
Veal Sausages with Herbed Polenta and Roasted Beets
Posted in Autumn, beets, cheap meal, easy, Fall, gravy, parsley, polenta, quick meal, Recipe, Recipes, sausage, veal on Nov 20th, 2007
Can’t figure out what to make tonight? Well, we couldn’t either. So we found some misfit stuff and threw it together and, you know what… it was pretty good. The roasted beets gave this otherwise ‘soft’ meal some necessary crunch, as well as color. The sausages we had were some delicious veal links with sage. […]
Something’s Fishy ‘Round Here – Livornese Fish Stew (il cacciucco alla livornese)

I know, I know, another Tuscan recipe. Well, as I’m sure you know, when you visit a place, you often wish you were back there once you’re home. This feeling can last years. Besides looking through pictures, the way we attempt to return (mentally) to places we vacationed is through food. After receiving a $50-off […]
Saying Goodbye to the Summer (tear!) – And the Recipes That Helped Us Cope

Last week we discovered that the 5-day forecast was calling for a week’s worth of blue skies and summer-like weather. Not bad considering this past Sunday marked the beginning of Fall. Now, don’t get me wrong, I do love fall. But, like many, there’s something about summer that just excites me like no other season. […]
