It’s hard to improve upon a classic hot dog, especially when it is made of grass-fed beef. On it’s own, this hot dog is wonderfully delicious, possessing a nostalgic quality only bestowed upon certain food items. The hot dog is one of those childhood staples that never falls off our radar. It will forever have a place in our lives, …
In my hands I am holding an ample sandwich, the bread buttered and toasted, the bacon thick and salty and the tomatoes at the peak of ripeness. I open my mouth wide and take a bite, the lettuce crisp and refreshing against the bite of the horseradish-spiked mayonnaise. A BLT of this sort is one of summer’s most wonderful gifts …
It’s difficult to find a more perfect pair than steak and bleu cheese. It is by far one of my favorite food love stories. Foxhollow Farm’s beef top sirloin offers up the ideal platform for a variety of dishes and this month I chose to showcase it in the form of an artisanal and rustic sandwich, a rich and creamy bleu …
We are sitting atop rickety wooden benches in a cozy corner of a very small, very old pub. A fire roars to my left and I am enveloped in the laughter of my family. We dine on a variety of traditional pub fare, swilling beer and wine to warm ourselves as snow falls gently just beyond the stone-framed windows. We are in the tiny …
At it’s ethos, a grilled cheese sandwich is all about an indulgence. This sandwich in particular is the definition of a splurge and I will not apologize for it’s decadence. I am certain we share the same feeling of nostalgia and contentment when pulling two halves of a grilled cheese apart, the cheese grasping hold, attempting to stay intact …
I have no idea why it took me so long to commit to a CSA. Short for Community Supported Agriculture, I wrote a check to a local farmer named Pavel in April. In exchange, he promised to provide me with farm-fresh, chemical-free veggies raised with organic and biodynamic farming methods in mind. While the amount of the check felt a bit hefty in …
Of the many elements of cooking I have most enjoyed learning about balance. The underlying element of any perfect dish, balance is what occurs when flavors are paired and contrasted against one-another, when textures combine to make your tongue dance and your taste buds tingle. Balance is achieved when every type of taste is attended to, the sensory scale of …
Being entirely new to both the world of hiking and the world of ramps, I wasn’t sure what to expect when Z, Benton, Maggie and I set out on our mission to forage this fleeting wild onion. We packed a picnic of fresh veggies and farmers-market bread, grabbed a chilled bottle of white and set out to find the ramps …
Whenever I am experiencing ‘recipe block’ Z always comes up with the same suggestion: ‘make your tuna sandwich – it’s the best!’ As adorable as I find this sentiment (and as delicious as I find my tuna sandwich to be) it really is simply a tuna sandwich – a balanced blend of tuna, mayonnaise, kosher salt and freshly ground black …
This weekend we are ‘springing forward’ (don’t forget!), an annual signal that the end of winter is near and the luxury of spring and the blossoming of farm-fresh vegetables will soon be our reality. This promise of brighter, warmer days comes at a cost however, and we still have a few remaining dreary nights ahead of us. I find my …
