This simple dish taught me to smell, to taste, and to use my intuition. Feel free to add extra herbs or crushed red pepper, whatever you like but do it this way once as well because the simplicity is beautiful. I highly recommend doubling or tripling this recipe because you will gobble it up.+ READ MORE

This dish is simple to make but the key to this is getting razor thin slices of potatoes. Again, I recommend a mandolin, but a veggie peeler will do the trick, just be careful. Traditionally, this is to be done with white potatoes (like a russet) but I love the way the sweetness comes through and...+ READ MORE

Yummy, yum, yum. I love the potato and I hate the freaks who turned everyone into haters. Even if the potato was really bad for you, I'd still eat it. I mean, come on, WHAT TASTES BETTER than a bowl of mashers, a side dish of perfectly roasted and seasoned wedges, or a cone of fries with sea...+ READ MORE

Man, I love olives. I always have. Not sure why, but even when I was a little kid I was crazy about them. All of them, even the strong and bitter ones and the love affair continues. I don't think a day goes by without me consuming at least a tablespoon of olive oil. For real. It's so good,...+ READ MORE

This is so California man. Another wacky dish that's more of a technique than a recipe. Salt and chocolate always perform really well together because salt heightens chocolate's flavor. The olive oil is the icing on the cake. It freezes at first but then blends into the ice cream making a lovely,...+ READ MORE

You know what I think? I think mushrooms are the bomb. They're incredibly mysterious, delicious, and if you're into wild ones, they are dangerous too. So exciting. + READ MORE

The lemon. It may be a classic but it's never boring. Such an exciting and intense fruit. Lemons really wake things up with their acidic juice, making an incredible addition to drinks and salad dressings and drizzled on top of finished dishes. The zest and oils are amazing and versatile too in...+ READ MORE

I was delighted when my brother's partner, Karen, published her first cookbook earlier this year and featured her recipe for Jamaican Ginger Beer. She and my brother found this while eating at Caribbean restaurants in South Florida. I think she begged the chef to give her his recipe and in turn, I...+ READ MORE
