With today’s overcast skies and hints of rain and chilliness, it’s looking more like Autumn. And so another meal-in-a-bowl recipe, this time the comforting goodness of chowder. (Hey! Both this and the last recipe started with frying up bacon. What’s with that? Need you ask? The Answer: Bacon saves.) If you really don’t like mussels, […]

Salmon tartare
Tuesday, 15 July 2008
Following the shrimp salad, this appears to be second in an inadvertent series of seafood concoctions to serve on bread. Not on purpose, not really. But faced with a large filet of fresh salmon, and a desire to try making something at home with raw fish… You get the picture. 🙂 Salmon tartare with chives, […]
Shrimp salad
Saturday, 5 July 2008
Sandwich fillings and creamy salads seem to suffer from ennui, becoming almost annoyingly boring with tired combinations of ingredients —at least in most cafés and grocery stores. One thing I enjoy about traveling is other countries’ (or regions’) takes on such commonly eaten items. In the UK, for instance, they often have interesting fillings such […]
Broiled eel (unagi) over rice, two ways

One which emulates the claypot to obtain the crust, […]

Kedgeree
Monday, 7 May 2007
Kedgeree, kitchiri, khichdi, or simply “kedge” in our household, is a great way to use up leftover fish, rice and vegetables. We usually make it for supper, but sometimes we’ll eat it for lunch. We cooked this yesterday, and late that night I saw Anita’s post about A Taste of Yellow’s blog cook-off for the […]
Baked Salmon with Fennel
Tuesday, 17 February 1998
Fennel bulb has a tangy, slight licorice flavor (but not overwhelmingly so) which goes nicely with fish. Sometimes I add a bit of minced garlic with the olive oil and wine mixture.
