Quazy Energy
Shortly after moving to a northern suburb of New York City in 1965, my new schoolmates asked me to choose a side in a classic rivalry. The Mets vs. Yankees could wait until later (I chose the Mets), they wanted … Continue reading
Meat Popsicles
I braved the cold for the monthly meat CSA pickup, which was strangely devoid of people. Maybe I showed up at a lull, but this was the first time ever that I was able to walk up and grab my … Continue reading
“Brick” Chicken
I was looking for something unusual to make for She Who Must Be Obeyed for a Valentine’s Day diner when I saw this recipe in Momofuku. How could I pass it up when it began with this introducton? Your goal is to … Continue reading

Boiled Chicken, Leeks, and Aïoli
Boiling gets a bad rap as a cooking technique. It’s too easy to over-boil something and wind up with mushy vegetables and tasteless meat, which is the usual condemnation of British food. But in the hands of an attentive chef … Continue reading
Recipes for Success?
When I began cooking for myself, someone bought me a subscription for a set of 60 Minute Gourmet recipe cards. Every month twelve cards would arrive, each bearing a new recipe, with each set attempting to maintain a balance between … Continue reading
Momofuku Chicken Wings
With the Patriots out of the running for the Super Bowl, our annual get-together became more of an opportunity to hang out and eat while two teams named after American corporations battled it out in the background. I opted for … Continue reading
