Grilled Balsamic Portabella Mushrooms
It seems like Portobello mushrooms where just made for the grill. Their size, and thickness, make them sturdy enough to take the direct heat, and the manipulation required for grilling. I really love the charred smokieness they pick up on the grill, and the firm, almost chewy texture they get. In...
Roast Chicken with Polenta and Mushroom Sauce
I love cooking a roast chicken. Even the most straight forward preparations or they are tender and delicious. In this recipe video, the chicken itself is simply prepared; as is some cheesy polenta; as is an easy mushroom sauce. But the combination of the three, create a complete meal, with complex...
Cheesy Polenta
One of the more under-utilized sides dishes (at least in the starch category) is polenta. Polenta is simply ground corn…and generally the same as Grits – although some will point out the corn may be ground to different sizes, and/or be from yellow as opposed to white corn. When simmered in water,...
Steak Frites
The other day, a friend asked me for more “meat and potato” dishes…well, here you go. In this recipe video, I make a classic French brasserie dish…Steak Frites ; or in simpler terms, steak and fries. It’s a wonder, simple combo, that is at once rustic and sophisticated. It’s also not all that...
French Fries

Cuban Sandwich
The sandwich maybe one of the most under-rated meals in existence. There are endless combinations of flavors, ingredients, condiments, garnishes…and what else goes so naturally well with a tiny bag of potato chips. The perfect sandwich has the right combination of flavors... and ...the right...
Carrot Soup
After the onion, the carrot may get my vote for the most versatile, most tasty vegetable. Great in all kinds of dishes, one of the three legs of a mirepoix , and critical prop in just about every Bugs Bunny cartoon, I’m not sure what I’d do without these lovable, orange roots. And today (at least...
Ravioli with Gorgonzola Sauce
I love ravioli. The little tiny stuffed pastas, are a great contrast in texture, and the different fillings provide a wide variety of flavors. I love to make my own, but I’m also excited about the wide range of high quality ravioli you can buy at the store. It’s a huge time saver, with the extra...
