Candy was a big part of my youth, and a feature in two of my favorite books. The first was actually a series, The Baby-sitters Club. I was a big fan of the character, Claudia, a sugar fiend who hid candy bars around her bedroom. The other was a book from the 1981 Time Life Series, The [...]

Looking for a new way to use your beefsteak tomatoes? Last week, I was. I didn’t want to have tomato sauce again, and I’m not one to eat tomato slices or wedges on sandwiches or in salads. So my eyes perked up when I read a recipe for Savory Muffins with Goat Cheese and Tomato [...]

Sometimes I stumble onto a dish that is so amazingly good that I wake up thinking about it the next day. This risotto is one of those dishes, and the only reason I found the recipe is because I wanted to cook with squash blossoms. I was at my uncle’s farm a few days ago, [...]

Isn’t this a lovely picture of fried green tomatoes? I would love to take credit for putting this dish together, but I can’t. This creation actually comes from my favorite Ocean City restaurant, The Shark. During the summer months, fried green tomatoes are one of The Shark’s special appetizers.

There was a time when bacon was one of my food groups, probably because of our visits to the Bob’s Big Boy’s breakfast buffet. I ate enough bacon there to last for weeks. Then, my cousin, Michael, and I would load our plates with a big pile of twisted, crispy, oily bacon. And I mean [...]

I’m normally neutral about corn on its own – which is to say I don’t dislike it or feel immense pleasure when eating it – but there was one time when I really wanted to eat a fresh ear on its cob. My friend, Augie, was visiting me in New York, and he wanted to [...]
