ESCARGOTS: TRADITION WITH A TWIST

ESCARGOTS: TRADITION WITH A TWIST

Is it just me or do snails seem to be crawling their way back onto menus lately? Then again, since snagging these old-timey escargot crocks I have been on the lookout for the tasty crawlers. Discovered at East Hampton's Ladies' Village Improvement Society's thrift shop, these stoneware bake 'n' serve snail dishes were $1 a pop. They'd never been used, evidenced [...]

CLAM QUESADILLAS: QUESADILLAS DE ALMEJAS

CLAM QUESADILLAS: QUESADILLAS DE ALMEJAS

Clam Quesadillas (or quesadiilas de almejas if you prefer) are a pleasant detour down a road less taken for those bound for quesadillaville.  My brother Brendan suggested we try our hand at clam quesadillas for our much heralded Mexican Thanksgiving.

BRANDADE DE MORUE

BRANDADE DE MORUE

Poking around the fish case in the North Main St. IGA, I found this cute little box of salt cod and experienced a near-Pavlovian reaction. When was the last time I had a nice garlicky brandade or baccala or any of its cousins? I do remember my first at the old Provence restaurant on Sullivan St. in Soho. [...]

BLINI

BLINI

Times being tough and all, it's good to know that Julia Child's blini recipe delivers a great return on investment. I made these for the Mildred Pierce Chicken Kiev Beragon post when I theorized that if Mildred had set her sights on this elegant upscale pancake, rather than her pedestrian specialty of waffles, she may have been able to [...]
