Capital Chefs – Teddy Diggs of Ripple (Part 2)
‘Gnocchi with creme fraiche sauce, spinach and beans’ courtesy of ‘bonappetitfoodie’ Man, am I a big fan of gnocchi. It’s easy enough to make. It combines pasta and potatoes, the two powerhouses of starchiness. What’s not to love? So since it’s unpleasantly cold this weekend, make a nice, warm bowl of this gnocchi, courtesy of [...]

‘Seared halibut and root vegetables’ courtesy of ‘bonappetitfoodie’ I know winter is winding down, but we still have the second half of March to go which I’m betting will bring some slightly colder days.

‘To make a good salad is…….’ courtesy of ‘LaTur’ The recipe for this week is a simple one, but can be used in variety of ways. According to Witt, these maple candied walnuts are used to garnish the red wine pear, arugula, date and goat cheese salads at 701. While that sounds delicious, I’m sure [...]

‘Birch & Barley’ courtesy of ‘Samer Farha’ I’m practically drooling at the thought of this pasta dish. Had I been dining in the privacy of my own home, I would have picked up the bowl and proceeded to slurp down the sauce that was on it. And it was heartwarming to see Kyle and Tiffany [...]

‘Venison, Bourbon Steak’ courtesy of ‘bonappetitfoodie’ It’s 70 degrees out today. But it’s still February, and that tricky March will probably make its entrance with a roar that will force all of us to bundle up once again. And chances are when it gets cold again, you’ll want to snuggle up with a nice big bowl [...]

‘squash’ courtesy of ‘ekelly80′ So I didn’t manage to obtain the secrets behind making New Haven style pizza (besides, would it even compare to the real thing if you made it at home?) But, I did get a great recipe for one of Pete’s Apizza’s antipasti: carmelized winter squash, sundried cherries and apple crisps with a [...]

‘This just makes me want to eat more gnocchi, immediately, from this spoon’ courtesy of ‘CathyLovesDC’ As you read earlier, Katie and I spent yet another Saturday morning slaving away in the kitchen for you, dear reader. Not that we mind. While we waited for potatoes to bake (no really), we made ourselves quite comfortable [...]

More »Soup for you!
The dramatic turn from Fall to Winter weather had me thinking about warm soups all this week. As convenient as canned soup is, making your own is super easy as well and a great indoor activity on these cold and blustery days. One of my favorite soups is the good, old NY deli staple Split [...]
More »Dinner? Try Stuffed Tomatoes!
Wayan recently wrote about the last of his tomato crop. Wondering what to do with the last of the tomatoes from the farmer’s market? Ready to make one last red, juicy hurrah? This recipe from All Recipes.com is fabulous. I added in some ricotta cheese like one of the commenters suggested, and it turned out [...]
