This is a super easy make ahead kinda of recipe. Come August the Corn in East Hampton is to die for and I try to use it as much as possible. This is a fun play on Corn and Mozzarella that would work as an entree for lunch of a side for Dinner with Grilled Meat or Chicken. Either way it’s simple and yummy!   12 ears of corn 2 poblano peppers 1 ball fresh mozzarella 1 bunch basil 1 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 cup pine nuts 1 cup extra virgin olive oil zest of one lemon salt pepper olive oil   Shuck andRead More →

Chilled Marinated Mussels with Summer Veggies I love recipes that are easy to make and feed a crowd. The summer for me is about eating tons of fresh bright food. The more local the better. We eat lots and of fish and shellfish in the summer. I love to tell my kiddos that whatever they are eating was swimming around in the bay with them that morning. Clams , Mussels and their assorted cousins are some of my favorite things to eat. They are best served in a large bowl with loaves of crusty bread and large bowls for the empty shells. There is somethingRead More →

I love this recipe. My mom made a version of it growing up and my parents always had champagne with it. For me it hits all of the right notes. If your not a lamb person – you can substitute any ground meat really. There are a lot of bold flavors, but trust me that they all play amazingly well together.   Best Lamb Burger Ever 1 1/2 lbs ground lamb 1 tablespoon plain yogurt – you can use regular or greek 1 tspn ground cumin 1 tspn kosher salt 1 tspn black pepper 1 clove garlic finely minced 2 teaspoons chopped chives blue cheeseRead More →

One of the many wonderful culinary pleasures of East Hampton is the amazing selection of fresh fish. I make a point of getting what is local and really you can’t go wrong. This is a fun and casual dinner – something about the family style approach and the tearing and dipping of bread that just makes the evening feel laid back. I was lucky enough have my talented friend John Jaxheimer for dinner that night with his lovely wife and he shot the feature image- if you spend any time out here then you have seen his pictures grace the side of the Jitney asRead More →

This is great for a group. The ribs are basically self saucing so all you have to do is let them rest for a bit and serve with your side of choice. I love coleslaw or a big green salad- or in the summer a traditional potato salad would really hit the spot.Read More →

This is a lovely dish that would make a great vegetarian entree with a loaf of crusty bread and a sliced Tomato salad ( I was a vegetarian for 6 years and remember feeling very limited) or a great side. It can easily be made gluten free and is a real crowd pleaser.Read More →

I love wings and beer and bar food. Which can be challenging living in NYC where most women live on salad and white wine. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone out to dinner and the call is to share a couple of appies instead of a proper meal. Anyway, I love wings so I like to make them. This is a great recipe it takes a couple of steps ,parts can be made ahead and it’s actually healthy- everything baked and the sauce is yogurt- so have that extra beer or two and kick back and enjoy.Read More →

I love how the coffee in the marinade adds a slight smokey taste to Steak without overpowering it. The Miso Greens are a great foil and the combo of butter and miso is completely addictive.Read More →
