We enjoyed grilled salmon and white Burgundy for our refreshing summer wine pairing, the theme of the June 2014 Wine Pairing Weekend. We recently remade this Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa recipe, and added some new photos to this post. For the updated recipe in recipe card format, visit this new post. For details of the salmon…
Grilling Favorites: 4 for the Fourth
When I think of the Fourth of July holiday, grilling comes right after fireworks in my mind. So as we get ready to enjoy the big holiday, I thought I’d roundup some of my favorite recipes from the grill. Each photo is followed by a link to the original recipe so you can quickly navigate…
Orzo Salad with Kale Pesto for #SundaySupper
This Orzo Salad with Kale Pesto recipe can serve as a side dish, vegetarian main course or a contribution to a summer picnic or potluck. We originally shared this recipe for a #SundaySupper event focused on picnic food, and had it with some grilled steak the first time we served it. We came back through…
Lamb Sliders with Provençal Pesto
Last month I was hosting a #LanguedocDay tasting event for a group of ten foodie friends. After researching the food from the Languedoc region, I concluded I didn’t have the 24 hours or so needed to make cassoulet. Rather than trying a tradition dish from the area, I wanted to come up with something that…
Grilled Pork Tenderloin with a Syrah for Wine Pairing Weekend
No, it’s not just any grilled pork tenderloin that I prepared for the first Wine Pairing Weekend (#winePW), which has the theme “Wine Pairings for Grilled Meat”. I’m featuring my Cilantro and Lime Marinaded Pork Tenderloin with Chipotle Cream, which I like to serve with a side of Sweet Potatoes Smashed with Cumin Sage Butter. …

Callalloo: Easy Recipe for a Tasty Caribbean Green
My ears perked up when the woman next to me at the farmer’s market inquired in a Caribbean inflected accent about callalloo. Back when I was working in Cambridge, a vendor at the Central Square farmer’s market turned me on to this tasty green popular in the islands. And he urged me to use the…
Grilled Onion Vinaigrette for Green Salad
Here’s a quick and easy way to use leftover grilled onions: add them to a vinaigrette for a tasty salad dressing! This one is so simple it doesn’t warrant an ingredient list; I’ll just give you the basic idea. Start with a basic combination of extra virgin olive oil and vinegar, 2 parts oil to…
Filet Mignon with Grilled Portobello Mushrooms
Some recipes don’t require much introduction. I’d put this Filet Mignon with Grilled Portobello Mushrooms in that category! A great cut of steak like this doesn’t need much to make for a special meal. One could simply grill it with the rub, but the mushrooms make a nice addition to the flavor. Save this one…
