It was roasted fingerling potatoes—a really simple and inexpensive but delicious side dish.

Simple recipe for roasted pork tenderloin
Pork Provençal I’ve been lucky to be able to spend a fair amount of time in the Provence region of France. It’s there that I learned to love rosé wines, Cavaillon melons, pastis, petanque, and the sunny disposition of Southern France.

Thai Shrimp Curry
Thai Shrimp Curry ... I love Thai curries and they are pretty easy to make at home as long as you get all of the ingredients prepped and ready to go. It actually takes longer to cook rice to accompany this Thai curry than to cook the curry itself. If you’d like it spicier, add some sriracha or hot chili oil to the dish. Thai Shrimp Curry ingredients: 1 Tbsp … [Read more...]

But here is a quick and easy Instant Pot version that I like very … [Read more...]

Friday night fish fry
Fish batter recipe I never much liked fish when I was a kid. That’s probably because the only fish I remember eating were the fish sticks and fish cakes we’d be served in school cafeterias on Fridays. But then in England, I learned to love fish, where I first tasted really good fish and chips. Here is a very simple and versatile fish batter recipe (use it for … [Read more...]

Table X Restaurant & Garden The phrase “farm to table” gets thrown around a lot in the restaurant world these days, and it can mean different things to different people. At its purest, a farm to table restaurant is literally an eatery that is located on (or at least near) a farm and the ingredients—most, anyway—that go into the restaurant’s dishes come straight from that … [Read more...]
