Mac and Cheese with Balsamic-Roasted Tomatoes & Country Bacon

24 October 2012 by local kitchen

For the last month or so (not at all coincident with my 45th birthday, I’m sure) I’ve been trying to get into shape. Get back into shape, I should say, as usually I am pretty fit, by American standards: when a “fun weekend” means scaling 200-foot cliffs or hiking 12 miles & 6000 feet, you need the muscles, heart & lungs to make those journeys more pleasure than pain. Sadly, there haven’t been a lot of crags or peaks on […]

Yogurt Cheese Scones with Lemon & Thyme

9 January 2010 by local kitchen

The latest entry in my scone obsession, these are a savory, tangy mini scone that I made to bring to dinner tonight at our friends Amy and Bob’s house. These are an appetizer scone, great nibbled with fresh slices of apple or a nice chutney. How lemony they taste depends on the depth of flavor in your cheese; a strong cheese will allow just a hint of citrusy freshness to come though, while with a milder cheese you will really taste the […]

Mac. And. Cheese.

8 April 2009 by local kitchen

I can think of but one response to snow (yes, I said snow) on April 8th – mac and cheese. There are about a gizillion recipes out there for macaroni and cheese (actually Google informs me that there are “about 1,420,000“); this one is a classic version, with a bechamel-cheese sauce, a little salt, pepper & nutmeg, and not much else.  I like a lot of different varieties of mac & cheese - the Half King in Chelsea makes a great version […]

Sausage, Herb & Mozzarella Bread

6 March 2009 by local kitchen

It’s been a crazy week.  My business tends to be feast or famine; this week has defnitely been a feast, work-wise, but a famine, cooking-wise.  I’ve had no time, in between 12-hour days at the computer, to cook a thing and I realized today how much I missed it.  Cooking, and most especially baking bread, can be enormously relaxing.  There’s a science to measuring and combining the ingredients that is soothing in it’s detail and familiar rhythms; kneading the dough […]

30-Minute Mozzarella

5 March 2009 by local kitchen

Here is another great recipe from Ricki Carroll’s Home Cheese Making.  This recipe makes a delicious mozzarella that has all of the characteristics of the milk used to make it so can be endlessly varied.  It really is a very quick recipe – it may not take you only 30 minutes on your first try, but once you get the hang of it, it will go very quickly.  It’s faster for me to make this cheese than to go to […]
