We were so excited with the arrival of the Everything on Everything products this summer- you know, just like the bagels. So good! You can put this spice on everything from hummus to salad to toast, and of course, you can bake with it! Recently we discovered that Everything on Everything also makes a Salmon […]

Salmon Pastrami
Quite a few years ago I attended a wonderful lecture at The Springfield Museums given by Claire Hopley, author of The World of Blantyre & The Cookery of Christopher Brooks. At the time Downton Abbey was in its height of popularity and the “cottages” of the Berkshires were the closest thing many of us had […]
Nigel Slater’s Salmon with Lemon Salad
A few months ago we picked up a gorgeous copy of Nigel Slater’s 2009 cookbook, Tender. It was late winter and we were desperate to start our little garden. As we perused our favorite little bookshop this book stood out amongst the others with its gorgeous cover and tag line of a cook and his […]
Raw Salmon Ribbons with Poached Quails Egg, Ponzu and Black Seasame Seeds
This is quick to make and is a wonderful combination of flavors that makes a great healthy snack or a great appetizer at a dinner party.

Pan Seared Salmon with a Champagne Sauce
We spent last weekend installing new shelving for our numerous boxes of cook books. As we were unpacking the boxes, we could not help but skim the pages of some of our favorites. In Rick Stein’s Complete Seafood we stumbled upon a fabulous sauce called champagne and chive sauce. This is our version inspired from […]
Vodka & Beet Cured Salmon
Two summers ago we spent a night at Barnsdale Lodge in Rutland, England. It is a stunning boutique hotel with exceptional food. As an appetizer we ordered the beet cured salmon and fell in love with not only the flavor but the aesthetics of it as well. If you’ve been reading along this […]
