This pickled pineapple has a hint of spice from sliced jalapeños and is the perfect sandwich and salad topper with it’s tangy sweet bite. In case you haven’t heard, it’s like beyond cold in the Northeast lately. We decided to run our wood stove out the other day because the alternative required restocking the wood pile about …
These citrus braised lamb shanks are served with a spicy green harissa. They’re cooked until falling off the bone tender and served with the sweet and tangy citrus juices. Shank. A word that either conjures up visions of striped uniforms and shady bathroom stall killings or, a deliciously impressive, cook all day kind of meal. We’re …
This beef and mushroom bolognese is served over farro. It’s a thick, hearty meal somewhere between sauce and chili, so perfect for a cold winter day. The holidays are over and so begins the worst part of the year, at least when you live in New York. It’s still getting dark at 4 something in …

This spicy rosemary tomato peach chutney is sweet and tangy with a hint of spice. It’s perfect spread on bread or topped on meat. This is going to sound completely whiny and spoiled brat-ish but I’m gonna say it anyway. I’m going to Europe in two weeks until Sept. 15 and I’m honestly kind of …
This grilled scallop citrus ceviche is a refreshing and healthy appetizer or light meal. You know when people tell you there’s good news and bad news and then make you pick which you want to hear first? I always pick the bad first. Not quite sure if there’s some underlying meaning to that but in …
These rosemary sea salt and vinegar beet chips are a fun, crispy and healthier snack served with roasted garlic yogurt dip. For years I’ve said I’m not a chip person.
