Having visited New Bedford earlier this week and ogled at the scallop boats, I decided I needed to make a scallop dish this week. Honestly, I’m happy with just simple, seared scallops. It’s the best way to just let the sweet flavor of the shellfish speak for itself. However, I
It’s such a special treat to have brandied figs on hand. The seasons are so short: here and then GONE! for such a brief time in early summer and again in the fall. Anything I can have year-round without compromising taste, but rather at the peak of freshness, cracked open
A delightfully messy, unconventional way to enjoy meatballs! This is a really fun twist on traditional meatballs. I found the recipe reading through A Girl and Her Pig: Recipes and Stories by April Bloomfield. I do have to add, what an interesting book with so many great recipes! So funny,
