Give Crepes a Chance

Julie | March 28, 2007

Crepes have never been my favorite. Perhaps it’s because they are too much like pancakes, which are not my first preference; perhaps it’s their skin-like flabbiness or the speed with which they cool; or perhaps it’s their intimidating orneriness and delicacy when cooking. At any rate, since Jeremy is gone at a workshop in California, [...]

White Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Dip

Roasted red pepper dip

I was planning on making soup for dinner last night, but when I walked in the door, red pepper-bean dip with carrot sticks was what sounded good. So I cracked open a can of cannellini beans and thawed a few peppers, and whipped myself up some dip in no time flat. I was planning on [...]

Pan-Roasted Asparagus with Poached Eggs

Eggs and Asparagus

This was my dinner tonight, and it was amazing.

When you cut into the eggs, the yolks blend with the Parmesan and brown butter to form a wonderful sauce [...]

Fish al Cartoccio

The saga of this recipe started back in February, when we rented a car and went to Whole Foods. Whole Foods is like a wonderland to me. We don’t have one in Salem, so it’s like a special treat to go somewhere that isn’t Roth’s or Safeway, and even more so when it’s a grocery [...]

Veal Saltimbocca alla Romana

Julie | March 2, 2007

I made veal saltimbocca for dinner tonight with three veal cutlets. I had a partial package of prosciutto leftover, so it was a good opportunity to use it up. I also did two sage leaves per cutlet. I’ve never had saltimbocca before, and was blown away by how incredibly flavorful it was for such a [...]
