Crab & Sweet Corn Chowder

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Aug 22, 2012 at 2:24pm

Hello from my (ridiculously brief) summer vacation in East Hampton. The only reason I’m posting a recipe while on vacation is that the local produce out here is so astonishing that I’m inspired to cook here more than I am at home. As much as the area is known for spiffy homes, those homes are…

Every Sunday, Nathan and I eat our way through Kingfield Farmers’ Market. If you follow me on Twitter, then you know that one of our faves is Foxy Falafel. Erica Strait and her crew crank out the best falafel I’ve ever had. Made from sprouted chickpeas, perfectly crisp and fresh, the falafel is nestled atop…

Pasta Amatriciana from Muir Glen Vine Dining Tour Dinner at Corner Table

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Feb 11, 2011 at 5:07pm

It’s no secret that Corner Table Restaurant is one of my favorite spots in town – I wouldn’t have chosen to spend my birthday dinner there several weeks ago if it weren’t. So when I received an invitation for a promotional cooking demonstration and dinner at Corner Table, for the Muir Glen Tomato Vine Dining…

The Prep Ends, Eating Begins!

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Dec 27, 2010 at 9:56am

To me, it’s not Christmas without my mom’s fabulous 1970s appetizer platter. I use it all the time, this time for fondue vegetables. The smooth, tangy cheese… …and rich beef tenderloin fondue were both amazing. Fried beef. Yes. But I think my very favorite were the crispy cauliflower fritters – ridiculously good. I used two…

Yet Even More In Progress…

The table is set. The Alice Medrich chocolate souffles – not too rich, nicely chocolatey – are ready for the oven.  They’re both gluten-free and do-ahead.  If they washed dishes, they’d be perfect.  (That giant one in the back is for John!) Cauliflower is blanched.  It still needs a coating of breadcrumbs, then it will…

Even More In Progress…

Ooh, here’s another quick crowd-pleaser from the lovely blog Jenn Cuisine: Pan-Roasted Almonds with Thyme & Truffle Oil. They take mere minutes to make and whoamygoodness, they are insanely delicious. I’m putting these away now so there are at least a few left for my guests. Yikes. The skaters arrived! And both sauces are now…

More In Progress…

If you’re scrambling today, wishing you’d made Christmas cookies, I offer this fast and delicious chocolate almond coconut bark. It takes 10 minutes to prepare! And just try to keep your hands off of it. If you hate coconut, or almonds, substitute crushed toffee, or peanuts, or whatever you do like – this bark is…

"Tacos"

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on May 11, 2009 at 9:34am

I call anything I wrap in a tortilla – soft- or hard-shell, sprouted grain or corn – a taco.  Goes over well with the fam, for one.  Tacos = yummy in this household.  But I do it for myself, too.  Tacos feel decadent to me, like party food, even my healthiest versions.  Plus they’re seriously…

My Little Lamb Chop

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Mar 19, 2009 at 4:50pm

My goodness there are few things in this world tastier than a garlicky, crusty lamb chop. John returned from a long weekend in New York, and with Nathan away visiting his grandparents in Florida, it was just the two of us for din. In other words, a nice night for lamb chops. I either buy…

25 Things…

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Feb 12, 2009 at 3:47pm

OK, if you’re on Facebook (FB), you know all about the 25 Random Things About Me lists that everyone is circulating. If you’re not on FB, it’s basically a semi-viral exercise where people write 25 things about themselves and send it around to their friends, encouraging them to do the same. There are those turning…
