My enjoyment of truffle laced dishes has existed for quite some time, but this like quickly turned to love when I experienced the out-of-the-world deliciousness of the Rosemary-Truffle fries that are served at Chef Will Gilson’s Cambridge based restaurant Garden at the Cellar.

The Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics: Fabulous Flavor from Simple Ingredients cookbook by Ina Garten has turned out to be one of my favorite Christmas gifts this year. Thanks CK!

Remember the song I’d Do Anything from the musical Oliver? Well while making this recipe I realized that I would obviously do anything for Jamie Oliver, even cook with *gasp* anchovies. If Jamie and I were doing this little duet on a stage in the West End somewhere it might have gone something like this: […]

Pasta with Sausage and Collard Greens

July 23, 2008

My Boston Organics adventures this summer have really allowed me to experiment with a number of ingredients that I would never buy simply browsing the local produce aisle.
