Baity’s Birthday Bolognese and An Important Announcement Regarding the Future of Headline Foods
Remember back last spring when I was doing that whole “Countdown to Italy” series? Because I was going to visit some friends in Rome for a week and I was super excited about it, and thus cooking all kinds of Italian food at home and/or writing about that cooking class I took a few summers […]
Shepherd’s Bundt, or, The Day of Pie not Pie
I spent most of October running around, hosting friends and throwing bridal showers, entertaining visiting parents, and traveling up to the Fighting 41st to campaign for the most stylish State Senate candidate around, so this past weekend was my first to really spend at home and enjoy the frigidness coziness of fall. After a morning […]
Recap from Italy: Bucatini all’amatriciana
I can’t remember if I mentioned it on this blog or not, but I, uh, went to Rome for a week in May. For those of you that have the good fortune to know me personally, you know that I am obsessed with Italy (Puglia in particular, but Rome is so close I don’t think […]
Welcome to the Deck – Taco BBQ
(I recommend reading this post here for maximum viewing pleasure) After last week’s dish for the unseasonably cold days of spring, let’s move on to an appreciation of the unseasonably warm. Which I really need to get in now, because after today’s heat wave I’m not sure I’ll be appreciating the warmth for too much […]
Please sir, may I have some boar?
Well folks, vegetarianism was a nice ride while it lasted, but it looks like I’ve fallen off the wagon…at least for now. I mean, I wasn’t going to pass up a chance for wild boar just to roast some more squash and mash some parsnips, was I? To be fair, the farmer’s markets aren’t exactly […]
Just Short(rib) of Excellence
I’m just going to put it out there right now – this blog is not all success stories. I am far from a top chef, and as you can tell, much of this is just musings on my culinary experimentation. And while I have no qualms messing around with cans of tomato sauce or $7 […]
What the duck?
Several months ago, the Times published a recipe for Really Easy Duck Confit. Although I tend to err on the side of over-complicating, having never cooked duck before this struck me as a manageable intro. So, about two weeks ago my roommate/personal photographer (seriously, there would be no photos on this blog without Becca) and […]
Sausage, Lentil and Kale Soup (courtesy of A. Markowitz)
Since I’m obviously not finished waxing nostalgic about Fairway, let us now return to the produce aisle on that fateful Sunday. The options were, to say the least, overwhelming. While I am lucky enough to live just two blocks from a fairly respectable Key Foods, the produce aisle at the Key leaves a lot to […]
Brussels and Bacon
“You know when you cook bacon? Save the grease, and cook everything else in that.” -Dude that owns the fried chicken joint in Eugene that Peter frequents. It’s so easy. So simple. So obvious. And yet, so easy to forget. For one, I don’t make bacon too often. Unlike my aforementioned cousin, I do not […]
