White Wine and Tarragon Sauce
Don’t use cooking wine or an old bottle of dried Tarragon for this sauce. This White Wine and Tarragon Sauce depends on a dry, crisp, white wine and the fresh color and flavor of a new bottle of dried tarragon. White Wine and Tarragon sauce adds a delicate and delicious […]
Asparagus and Celery Root Soup
I make this Asparagus and Celery Root Soup with white asparagus rather than green. White asparagus have a more delicate flavor than green and allow the flavor of the mild celery root to come through. Fresh white asparagus are only available during Spring and Summer. I remember how excited my […]
Chopped Eggs and Onions
I can’t remember where I first ate Chopped Eggs and Onions. It could have been at a hotel in the Catskills or at an older relative’s house. All I know is that I loved it. It’s completely different from Egg Salad. There’s no celery and no mayonnaise. In the old […]
Leek Quiche
I love Leek Quiche. Leeks have a milder and more mellow flavor than onions. When they’re sautéed, the leeks just seem to melt into the custard filling. Leeks also mix beautifully with other vegetables. I often reduce the amount of leeks by a cup or two and substitute them with […]
Halibut Salad
I grew up eating Halibut Salad. It was on our Thursday rotation of fish meals. Halibut is a firm white fleshed fish that has a very mild flavor. It’s actually whiter than other white fleshed fish like snapper or flounder. I think that’s what makes it so pretty as a […]
Heirloom Tomatoes and Peach Salad
Heirloom Tomatoes and Peach Salad made from nature’s multi colored heirloom tomatoes mixed with juicy ripe peaches and creamy avocado is a treat for the eyes and palate. Add a little fresh basil with a squeeze of fresh lemon and some olive oil and you have a spectacular Summer salad. […]
Goujons de Sole
Goujons de Sole are small pieces of Sole that are dipped in fritter batter and fried in hot oil. I had always considered them to be a French creation; until I learned differently. Fried fish was originally brought to England by Portuguese Sephardic Jews in the 16th century. As Marranos, […]
Chestnut Soup with Beer
I love Chestnut Soup with Beer. This recipe starts with a “mirepoix”; the traditional starter for many French soups. A mirepoix is a combination of onions, celery and carrots minced together. When sautéed, it forms the flavor base for the soup. I’ve had the experience of peeling fresh chestnuts and […]
Roasted Vegetable Salad
This Roasted Vegetable Salad is an accidental and fortuitous creation. I had leftover roasted beets and butternut squash and didn’t want serve them the same way the next day. I had roasted the squash with just a little salt, pepper and olive oil; and the beets in their skins. The […]
