Seafood Recipes

I’m back on the Curtis Stone bandwagon. After having completely forgotten that we have more than just a few cookbooks, I decided to change gears for a bit. Autumn is pretty much over, so I think it’s about time we get back into some more complete meals, as opposed to “one-off” dishes that the Test […]

Great news! I recently ordered two new cookbooks. One that specializes in burgers and the other that specializes in everything. Together, I’ll have over 700 new recipes to choose from and share. After I receive them, I’ll begin my search for something that deals with only artisan pasta. I really need to get back into […]

Looking at this recipe, I initially thought it was going to take a lot of time and include many ingredients. For some reason, whenever I consider preparing dishes that include salmon, I think that.

If you’ve followed this website for any amount of time, you know that I’ve enjoyed my fair share of cod. I’ve also cooked asparagus in a variety of ways. One thing I’ve yet to taste is what’s called melted leeks. This was new to me. When I saw a recipe for them in a cookbook […]

Surprisingly, this is a very quick and easy recipe to prepare. While it looks like there’s a lot going on, there really isn’t. There are only three major steps that need to be taken with approximately 20 minutes worth of cooking time. After that, you’ll be enjoying some very tasty cod with just about the […]

Salmon with Orzo, Baby Spinach & Vinaigrette Recipe I’ve been putting together a lot of recipes lately, which has left me with a fair amount of leftover ingredients. So, when I discovered a salmon recipe by Curtis Stone in his cookbook, What’s For Dinner, I got an idea. If I used his general idea and […]

Hands down, salmon is my favorite fish. Nothing comes close. I’ve been eating salmon for as long as I can remember and there have only been a handful of occasions where I didn’t like what I prepared. That’s because I screwed something up. In general, if you properly cook salmon, it’s delicious. Did you know […]

Yesterday was Saint Patrick’s Day. Because of this, Laura and I decided to get a little festive. I made some traditional Irish Soda bread and she made some Watergate Salad for dessert.
