Cherry Tomato Salad, Soft Tofu and Shiso
It has been a very good summer for tomatoes; we eat them at least three times a week. But after a while the classic combination of tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and olive oil acquires a numbing sameness. Looking for a way … Continue reading
Rotisserie Experiment No. 1
I have this urge to roast a whole (small) pig in my backyard, but I’ve not done it before. I discovered that a motorized rotisserie attachment was available for my grill for a mere $35, which I treated as a … Continue reading
Pan-Roasted Asparagus, Poached Egg & Miso Butter
This dish accompanied the bacon-wrapped skirt steak I made last week. It is yet another vegetable preparation from Momofuku, and it uses the same miso butter as the roasted sweet summer corn. I started with five tablespoons of softened unsalted … Continue reading

Peas with Horseradish
I have been rooting through the fridge, making sure that I use all of the lovely vegetables I buy at the farmer’s market. When I discovered a bag of sugar snap peas I knew that I would combine them with … Continue reading
Market Abundance
This was one of the market days when I buy more fruit and baked goods than vegetables. It’s midsummer in New England, which means it’s corn and tomato season, so I bought corn and tomatoes, along with a few cucumbers, … Continue reading
Roasted Rice Cakes
I realized that I have been working my way through all of the recipes in the Noodle Bar section of the Momofuku cookbook. Although I haven’t committed to cooking every recipe (which gives me an out if I can’t bring … Continue reading
Kitchen Chemistry
During my summer internships at General Foods, I worked with many industrial processing techniques and chemicals that I later dismissed as having no practical value for a home cook working on a much smaller scale. I was proven wrong years … Continue reading
