We found these golden beets at Whole Foods. They looked so great that we had to get them. Once home we just had the dilemma of what to serve with them so in something akin to Chopped we looked for interesting ingredients to make the final dish. We found some HAKE and colored new potatoes. In England, […]

Purple Potato & Hake Spring Cakes
Finely our first day that really feels like spring. The snow has left us and the crocus flowers have added color once again to our otherwise bleak garden. With a wide variety of spring potatoes we are also able to add fresh color to our dinner table. This was actually a left over […]
Lemon Cured Smelt
Smelt. We chose it because around here you can never find proper anchovies at the local market. When we came across this frozen bag of smelt we were pretty excited to get it home and create a lemon cured dish which would make a perfect Friday night snack. We began with frozen […]
Frozen Pea Risotto with Oven Roasted Sea Bass
It has been a busy month. With the luxury of a work free summer behind (one of us) it has taken us a while to adjust to real life again. We were very glad to find a lovely piece of sea bass left over from summer in the freezer this past week. If only […]
Dark Beer Battered Fish & Chips
Cor blimey Guv’nor! We miss this very British meal so much that the Lenox British Motor Car Festival seemed like the perfect inspiration to make real fish & chips. We loved this mini estate car at the show! When we got home we decided to make a delicious beer batter fish […]
Scrod Sandwiches with Oranges and Caramelized Red Onions

Growing up in Massachusetts meant summer vacations to Cape Cod where we would enjoy clam rolls, clam chowder, lobsters and all sorts of fresh fish. Summertime wouldn’t be the same without it. At […]
Pan Roasted Summer Trout with Red Quinoa
Trout is not only a deliciously mild fish, but it is also sustainable. When cooking trout we always find it best to keep it simple. The flesh is so subtly sweet in flavor -too much flavoring can overpower the naturally wonderful taste of the fish. We just wanted a quick, simple, delicious weekend dinner. […]
New England Lobster with Citrus & Avocado Puree
You can’t very well live in New England and not eat at least one New England lobster during the prime months of summer. We decided to take the heaviness of the catch away by cutting it with citrus and edible flowers. We began by making an avocado puree. We simply peeled and […]
