I love living in a place with so many bountiful farmers’ markets. And maybe it’s my small-town self coming through on Saturday mornings, but I prefer the small-scale markets. We’ve become regulars at the Fulton neighborhood market, and really, it’s not just because Patisserie 46 sets up a booth every week, although that’s definitely a [...]

crabbing
Posted in Seafood, tagged blue crab, Nantucket crabbing on July 29, 2011 | 1 Comment »
It quickly becomes obsessive. I watched my mild-mannered family as they were drawn in, tossing the chicken-baited string out into the brackish stream again and again and again, eagerly waiting for the subtle pull of a nibbling crab. The crabbing technique here is primitive: tie a chicken drumstick to a string and toss it in [...]
fish and berries

As soon as I posted that paean to Minneapolis, we left town, heading east to Vermont and Cape Cod. We find big bowls of ripe berries wherever we go, whether it’s the beginning of blueberry and raspberry season or the end of strawberry season, every sweet bite must be savored or baked before they go [...]
paella party
Posted in Seafood, Wine, tagged Amy Campion, paella on October 26, 2010 | 2 Comments »
My friend Sharyn, of Still Life with Whisk, had been turning over the idea attempting the perfect paella, until it became a passion. (ok, why is alliteration so tempting with the letter p?) So, we decided to get together and make a big Spanish-themed feast. While Sharyn went shellfish shopping, I went to the wine [...]
Sunday lunch
Posted in Pasta, Salads, Seafood, tagged bottarga on March 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Sicilian style, on a sunny Sunday, with Susan Stewart. It was as sumptuous and soothing as all this sibilance might suggest. Yesterday, we were invited to have lunch with Susan, whom we’ve known mainly through her writing, both poems and literary criticism. I’ve been spending a lot of time with her book Crimes of Writing [...]
food in art: grapes and whales

At a junction of thoughts that represents some substance of my life right now: a chapter in Moby Dick; a talk about food in high art given by Leonard Barkan; the local-food-movement mantra know your food, know your farmer; swimming, during which activity my thoughts form folds with each lap and the thought that my [...]
fritter, v. & n.
Posted in Poetry, Seafood, Whimsical, tagged Amy Campion, Amy Campion food on January 11, 2010 | 3 Comments »
The noun form of fritter—the one that speaks of food—derives from the Latin verb for “fry,” frigere. Although I’m writing a food blog, this is not the form of fritter I’m concerned with today. The other form, the transitive verb usually followed by “away” derives not from any culinary activity but from the Old English [...]
good old Roman basics

In the past two days I’ve been to two good old Roman basic restaurants that served delicious meals and a whole bunch of good old Roman basic tourist spots. (My parents are visiting.) Last night: Il Galeone, in Piazza San Cosimato, just down the hill from us: either take the bus down the S-curves of [...]
a Dundee special in Rome
Posted in Beer, Seafood, Sweet Things, tagged American Academy in Rome, Amy Campion food, Rome sustainable food on December 5, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Last night, the RSFP kitchen did it again. They had us swooning and stuffing our bellies and calling out for more. This time, the dish was fish-n-chips. One of the kitchen interns, Camilla, had been homesick for Scotland and this specialty, so she and the crew fried up a massive amount of fish and potatoes. [...]
sardines with aioli

We’re so coddled here, with the wonderful food prepared for and served to us at the Academy. So it was with real satisfaction last night that I prepared a meal requiring what felt like authentic labor: beheading fish and whisking for a good half hour. The meal was utterly simple, and maybe that’s why it [...]
