How to Make Chowder
This post invites you to experiment – it is a blueprint and a technique, not a rigid recipe that must be followed. Use whatever ingredients you have on hand, or whatever you like.
New England Yankee Pot Roast
Yankee Cooking At Its Best This New England Classic is easy to make, but does require a long braise. The active cooking time is probably an hour or less. It is even better the second day.
Panko Macadamia Nut-Crusted Fish Filets
This quick fish recipe comes together in 30 minutes and won’t leave your kitchen smelling like fish or fish stuck to you pan. Serve with homemade tartar sauce, lemon wedges and a few slices of ripe avocado.
Beef Chili II
This hearty beef chili follows the same method as most other soups and stews and can be done in the oven in 4 hours or in a slow cooker over 4-8 hours. It is an updated version with a little less heat (the previous version had a whole can of chilis in Adobo!) and a […]
Midnight Shrimp Scampi
Tiger Prawns, Sambal, Lime, Cilantro, Garlic Butter Sauce I call this “Midnight” Shrimp Scampi because it comes together in 10 minutes, is light enough for a late night snack, and filling enough to call dinner. Garlic, butter, Indonesian hot sauce and lime create the perfect balance.

Perhaps most important, it is currently not over-fished and is therefore a sustainable option. It works well pan fried, […]
Chili-Lime Mango Dressing
Sweet, Spicy, Tangy, Creamy – this dressing is a sure fire way to liven up any medley of mixed greens. Add sliced oranges, dried cranberries, an avocado, some walnuts – whatever suits your fancy – and you’ve got yourself a unique and amazing salad. Ingredients 5oz full fat plain Greek yogurt (2% will work fine […]
Southern Chicken Salad
Chicken Salad is one of those things that people apparently have really strong opinions about. That should come as no surprise, considering the number of different versions there are out there; there’s chunky chicken salad, smooth chicken salad, Napa Almond chicken salad. Some people like to add grapes, some people like to add Indian or […]
