If you've ever been to Café Habana in the NoLita neighborhood in NYC, or the one that recently opened in Malibu, you know about their legendary grilled corn. This corn holds a special place in my heart because the restaurant was two blocks from our old apartment, and we were there at least once a week; curing hangovers with café con leche, scarfing a Chicken Diablo sandwich, or having an afternoon margarita.
This year we planted two varieties of heirloom tomatoes and are currently enjoying them in salads and sandwiches... and on this unbelievable homemade pizza. Making a pizza at home is a simple pleasure that will transport you straight to Italy. I dream of the day when I will have an outdoor kitchen with a coal oven, to make pizza in the true Neapolitan tradition.
This summer has been a whirlwind of traveling, entertaining, and getting together with family and friends... who could ask for more?
The pineapple upside-down cake was originally devised in the 1920's as a way to promote canned pineapple, which had recently come on the market through Dole Co. Women's magazine's began running recipes featuring the pineapple cakes, studded with Maraschino cherries, baked in a cast-iron skillet.
A few years ago we were on our honeymoon in Spain. After a night of heavy drinking and revelling with the locals in Sevilla, we had an early morning flight to Barcelona. After the flight, a crowded city bus, and a half mile walk to the hotel, we were hurting and in need of some serious refreshments. As luck would have it, we arrived in the middle of siesta, the no-man's land between lunch and dinner, when restaurants close and Spaniards nap. Greg went out on a mission and came back from a bodega with Pan con Tomate... and it was heavenly.
I've written previously about Suzanne Goin's superb seasonal cookbook, Sunday Suppers at Lucques, which features recipes from her LA restaurant. This rustic menu of marinated grilled steak, peperonata, and baked ricotta will definitely become a staple in our house.
I've always loved oatmeal cookies and nothing beats homemade. These cookies are made with my new favorite product, wheat germ (also used in my Irish Soda Bread). The wheat germ, along with an abundant amount of dried fruit make these cookies hearty and healthy (relatively speaking). This recipe got rave reviews from Martha Stewart readers, and they did not disappoint.
After making these simple, quick, and incredibly delicious clams, we were asking ourselves why we had never grilled clams before. We saw this recipe on Gourmet's award-winning show on PBS, Diary of a Foodie. It's as easy as placing the clams on a hot grill and then tossing them in 5-ingredient sauce. These clams are a perfect starter for a Summer BBQ. Make the sauce in a large foil pan right on the grill, alongside the clams and serve family style.
