Burrata with Fancy Roasted Peppers

Burrata with Fancy Roasted Peppers

Roast some peppers with just a spoonful of aromatics inside. Result: tasty, squishy-soft peppers that genially pair with burrata… and some great leftovers.

Roasted Okra with Guanciale, Peppers and Anchovies

Squint at this dish of roasted okra with guanciale and peppers and you might mistake it for an Italian bagna cauda. Except that okra doesn’t register on Italian culinary radar. Which is not t…

Seared Scallops with Garam Masala Creamed Corn thegarumfactory.net/2020/07/…

Seared Scallops with Garam Masala Creamed Corn

Garam Masala is subtle. No one would mistake this for curry. It’s more like a warm summer welcome that announces the flavor of scallops and corn, hands you a drink and a fork, and then gets o…

Blueberry Scones with Lemon and Rosemary thegarumfactory.net/2020/07/…

Blueberry Scones with Lemon and Rosemary

Blueberry scones in the summer time are like apple pie in the fall – not to eat either in season is to relinquish a small part of your humanity.

Potato and Sugar Snap Pea Salad with Kimchi Mayo Dressing thegarumfactory.net/2020/07/…

Potato and Sugar Snap Pea Salad with Kimchi Mayo Dressing

Ken and the kids used to eat baked potatoes with butter, kimchi and sour cream when I wasn’t looking. What if it kimchi, potatoes and sugar snap peas made a summer salad?

Rhubarb Vinegar Chicken

I’ve wanted us to do vinegar chicken for awhile and Jody, who can never see a lily without thinking of three different ways to gild it, suggested we invite rhubarb. Fine with me, as long as i…

ORZO WITH FARM GREENS, RICOTTA, PARMESAN, PECORINO AND HOT PEPPER

Unless you’re raised in a family whose culinary life embraces orzo, in all likelihood you will encounter orzo some distance down the pasta road, way past stops that include string pasta, lasa…

CHERRY COMPOTE, RICOTTA-ROSEMARY MOUSSE, ALMOND SHORTBREAD

Baked Scrod with Yogurt Mayonnaise

Salt and pepper scrod, smear on the yogurt-mayo combo and throw it in the oven. Wait a bit, then add a pound of asparagus (two pounds works too), just so you don’t have a meal that’s wh…
