Meet Little Gordon
I‘m not sure how I missed these ads that imagine what chef Gordon Ramsay was like as a boy. He certainly didn’t mention this behavior in his autobiography Roasting In Hell’s Kitchen. Be sure to look at the other two … Continue reading
Bacon-Wrapped Swordfish
The whole roasted pig’s head was the correct choice to have made at the Whole Hog Dinner, but part of me has been wondering about the Guanciale-Wrapped Line-Caught Swordfish I passed up, especially after chef Tony Maws tweeted that it … Continue reading
Flooding the Market
The vegetables were picked yesterday and on the truck this morning. There’s no way we weren’t coming today.” I heard that from all of the farmer’s market vendors who are actual farmers instead of bakers or artisanal producers. How could … Continue reading
Fergus Cooks a Pig’s Head
After I described the Whole Hog Dinner to a curious He Who Must Not Be Ignored, he grew quite indignant: “You ate pig’s head and you didn’t save me any cheek? That’s my favorite part!” Feeling guilty of parental malfeasance, … Continue reading
Craigie on Main: Whole Hog Dinner
With meals at St. John and Au Pied de Cochon already under our belts, it was time for me and She Who Must Be Obeyed to focus on finding a similar dining experience here in the States. As luck would … Continue reading

Market Doldrums
It’s hot, too hot to cook let alone think about what to cook for the upcoming week. But I forced myself to think ahead and plan my market visit for some of the meals I’ll make in the cooler days … Continue reading
St. Julia’s Day, Part 1: Coq au Vin
I used to refer to Julia Child as Saint Julia. She was revered by millions, was responsible for the miraculous daily transsubstantiation of base ingredients into delicious meals, and was certainly prayed to in an effort to avert uncountable kitchen … Continue reading
Au Pied de Cochon
The best meal I ate in Montreal was planned months in advance, inspired (predictably, if you’re a regular reader) by the Quebec episode of No Reservations, first aired in April of 2006: Yes, I remembered this restaurant for three years, … Continue reading
Market Recovery
We returned from Montreal to an empty pantry and fridge; nothing yesterday’s trip to the market couldn’t fix. More new vegetables and fruits are arriving as the season progresses, so it was time to sample some new offerings. Above we … Continue reading
