Strawberry Rhubarb Parmesan Crisp

I try to bring something new and different to all the foods that I post about, but sometimes I just crave something simple and classic. Such was the case when I found some gorgeous strawberries and rhubarb at the farmer’s market this weekend.

I couldn’t let you guys down with yet another strawberry rhubarb crisp/crumble/cobbler/crostata though, so I rummaged through the fridge in search of some inspiration. It came in the form of two off-white blocks sitting on my cheese shelf. continue →

Green Mango Relish on a hot dog along with sauerkraut and pickled ramps

Saturday was one of those perfect spring days that keeps me hooked on notion that New York is the best place to live in the world (despite mounting evidence to the contrary). It was the kind of day that makes you want to climb up onto a Williamsberg rooftop and smoke 5 lbs. of knackwurst while chowing down on grass fed beef hot dogs covered in green mango relish…. And that’s exactly what we did. continue →

If you read the recent Wall Street Journal article, you know that I’m not a big fan of following recipes. That’s not to say that I don’t look at them though. Recipes can be inspirational, and as long as you remember to ask “why”, they can be a great way to learn new techniques. The [...]

On the other end of the spectrum there are those that like a sweet, moist, cake-like [...]

Sometimes I get these crazy ideas into my head. I experiment a lot in the kitchen and sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. Most of these experiments don’t get their own post here. Then there are times like today when I stumble across something so unexpected and tasty I can’t wait to share it [...]

Pomegranate poached pears with vanilla ice cream. I’m back from my whirlwind trip to Japan and Korea and am bursting at the seams (it could also have something to do with the 5+ daily meals I consumed) to try out over a dozen dishes I came up with while away from the kitchen and this [...]

The other day I had a nice surprise waiting for me in the mail. POM sent a case of 100% pomegranate juice for me to try. I was excited to open it up and try one because POM Peach Passion Tea is probably one of my favourite beverages of all time (makes great cocktails too). [...]
