Chef Chang’s House
No, the beloved Boston Chinese restaurant hasn’t re-opened. I just couldn’t resist using the phrase to describe the last of the Science and Coking public lectures at Harvard. This was student final projects week, and since David Chang had been … Continue reading
Fuji Apple Salad
The kimchi that I had made was coming up on three weeks old. Much to my surprise, it still smelled as fresh as when it first went into the fridge, even though it had acquired a slight fizz from CO2 … Continue reading
Guinea Fowl, Red Cabbage, Trotter, and Prune
While some of you were checking out the tandoori turkey recipe for Thanksgiving ideas, I was out shopping for the final ingredients for the family holiday feast. I had already picked up my farm-raised fresh turkey (and participated in an … Continue reading
Keys to Good Cooking

Fava Beans, Ham, and Parsley Sauce
What do you do when you find a recipe that looks good but requires leftovers from a more complicated dish? You fake the leftovers. At least that’s what I did when I saw this recipe from The Whole Beast: Nose … Continue reading
Anniversary Dinner: Braised Lamb Shanks
Last Saturday She Who Must Be Obeyed and I celebrated being married for seventeen years and managing not to kill each other. We had dinner out a few days earlier (Journeyman again, photos to follow in the next post), but … Continue reading
Market Closing
Today is the last day for the Union Square Farmer’s Market until next June. If I want fresh local vegetables in November, I’ll have to go to Davis Square, Central Square in Cambridge, or Copley Square in Boston, none of … Continue reading
