Steve in the Big City. February 23, 2010. Week 1: Lamb and Beans. Sometime last week, Emily decided that I should start cooking a new dish every weekend. Since both my to-do list and my cookbook collection have been growing way too fast, I agreed. Last weekend we had our first installment. After a busy week at work, I didn't really put much effort into research. One morning I flagged. A bunch of recipes in Michael Symon's book. And Emily followed up with a bunch in the Café Boulud Cookbook. In the end, t...

Steve in the Big City: Week 7: Easter Dinner
http://dunhamsteve.blogspot.com/2010/04/week-7-easter-dinner.html
Steve in the Big City. April 08, 2010. Week 7: Easter Dinner. For Easter weekend we decided to make a spring menu from the book Platter of Figs. That included an asparagus salad, roast shoulder of spring lamb with beans, and rum baba with cardamom. I had been looking for a lamb dish, figuring that it would be appropriate for Easter, and Emily had been wanting to try baba al rum. So I decided to do the entire menu, just swapping out the first dish for a Mario Batali dish. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Steve in the Big City. April 27, 2009. Rosemary and Ricotta Tart. This tart was inspired by a dessert we had. In San Francisco. I based the filling on a ricotta/pine nut tart found in Mario Batali's book, Molto Italiano. And the crust is from Michael Ruhlman's book, Ratio. If you can't find a meyer lemon, use half of a normal lemon. I used Bellwether Farms sheep's milk ricotta. But a cow-milk ricotta would work too. 9 oz All purpose flour (a scant 2 cups). 6 oz butter (1 1/2 sticks). 8 oz ricotta cheese.

Steve in the Big City. February 16, 2009. We celebrated Valentines day at home this year, and I had a lot of fun putting together a special dinner for it. It helped that the 14th fell on a Saturday, giving me a nice, leisurely day at home to put dinner together. Sabayon of Pearl Tapioca with Malpeque Oysters and Osetra Caviar. For a starter, I made Oysters and Pearls again - it's a great dish and the oysters and caviar seemed appropriate for Valentines day. The sauce is a saffron/vanilla infused mussel b...

Steve in the Big City. May 09, 2010. Week 11: Fava Fritters and Lamb Kofta. Our week 11 meal was middle eastern themed. Two of the dishes on our todo list, from Jamie Oliver's book Jamie at Home. Looked like they'd pair well together, so we decided to do both. The first dish was fava bean fritters. Which were similar to falafel but made from fava beans. The second was lamb kofta kebabs. A wrap of spiced, grilled lamb. Spain - On the Road Again. Aside from being overdone, the dish was good. The fillin...

Steve in the Big City. August 31, 2008. So much has happened since my last post that I don't really know where to start. Generally I'm inspired by Emily's photographs, but in the last couple of weeks she's taken about five thousand of them - this is going to take a couple of blog entries. Emily will go into better detail on her blog. But here is my summary:. We had an intimate wedding at the Acqua Hotel. The rehearsal dinner was down the street at Buckeye Roadhouse. She did the cake tasting with Alyson, ...

Steve in the Big City: Week 6: Broccolini Pizza, Contigo style
http://dunhamsteve.blogspot.com/2010/03/week-6-broccolini-pizza-contigo-style.html
Steve in the Big City. March 30, 2010. Week 6: Broccolini Pizza, Contigo style. For our new dish this week, I made a pizza inspired by a coca that we had at Contigo. The ingredients on their flatbreads vary from day to day, but they usually have caramelized onions (or another allium) and seasonal vegetables on them. I had remembered a broccolini and manchego one that we particularly liked, but after reviewing their menus I discovered that it actually had broccoli rabe on it. View my complete profile.

Steve in the Big City: Week 5: Sheep's Milk Ravioli with Brown Butter and Almonds
http://dunhamsteve.blogspot.com/2010/03/week-5-sheep-milk-ravioli-with-brown.html
Steve in the Big City. March 27, 2010. Week 5: Sheeps Milk Ravioli with Brown Butter and Almonds. This week I made ravioli stuffed with sheep ricotta, parmesan, and orange zest, served with brown butter, almonds, orange juice, and parsley. I mostly followed the recipe from Michael Symon's new book. This recipe is particularly notable because it is a vegetarian recipe from a pork-etarian chef. (There are also some good-looking salads in that book.). That I got for my birthday. View my complete profile.
