Turkey & Spinach Curry: Mark Bittman

April 20, 2017 – 8:52 am

Photo by Evan Sung for The New York Times Curry…what a nice way to celebrate these longer, yet still crisp days.  And if you have leftover turkey or chicken, what an easy meal! You can cook turkey just for this meal or roast a turkey breast or thighs and use the leftovers.  Would also work […]

March 1, 2017 – 3:28 pm

We debuted this dish at a farm supper and concert five years ago, and it turned out to be quite a hit and remains one of our event standards.  Creamy chard steaming with sweet onions under a layer of bubbling, browning cheese…need I say more? I have been craving this lately, so made a household size […]

February 16, 2017 – 9:05 am

The recipe below was shared by NPR and it is quite similar to the one in Weinstein & Scarborough’s Book, Goat.  Though they have much more fun commentary on […]

Also called Goat Birria in some recipes. We adapted this recipe from one in Saveur magazine.  Their recipe may have a stronger pepper flavor, which I think might be excellent.  I was a bit short on time and the right peppers to make the pepper sauce element so adapted based on what was in our […]
