I didn’t think it was possible to feel full from half a dozen oysters, but that was before I went down to The Big Easy. It was only my second visit to New Orleans. The first was right after Katrina, and much of the city was still recovering. So ... Continue Reading about Sheet Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Squash, Black-Eyed Peas and Mustard Sauce

Chinese Stir Fry Green Beans with Pork, Ginger and Chiles
The irony of being a private chef is that the cooking I do for others is often the biggest thing that gets in the way of the cooking I do for myself. It’s a well-known pitfall in the restaurant business: chefs are great at taking care of others ... Continue Reading about Chinese Stir Fry Green Beans with Pork, Ginger and Chiles
Bell Pepper and Beef Taco Skillet with Chipotle Cashew Cream
For a professional food babe, I’m surprisingly suspicious of kitchen gadgetry.

Herb Marinated Steak Gyros Plates with Tomato-Onion Salad and Green Tahini Sauce

Roasted Brussels Sprout Salad with Radicchio, Egg Mimosa, and Bacon Vinaigrette
I get a lot of cookbooks that come through Feed Me Phoebe headquarters, especially come fall when it seems like everyone and their mother, and therefore the Kardasians and their mother, release their perfectly polished recipes on the page.

Easy Quinoa Paella with Clams, Chorizo and Winter Greens

Bangers and Spinach Mash with Cider Onions
As some of you may remember from my egregious posting of many white pony pictures on instagram, I was in Ireland earlier this fall for a wedding.

Pork Larb Lettuce Wraps
I’ve probably mentioned my summer in Thailand in Tastetrotting posts past. But I always come back to it as one of those dot-connecting formative food experiences.

Pork Stew with Hard Cider, Parsnips and Pancetta
In last week’s newsletter I mentioned that I was down at my boyfriend’s house in South Carolina for thanksgiving weekend.

Bombay Hot Dogs with Mango Relish and Curried Mayo
One of my favorite high-low food items is a Kobe beef hot dog.

Whole Roasted Leg of Lamb with Rosemary and Preserved Lemon
Since this blog is focused on healthy comfort food, it’s very rare that I post full-frontal glamour shots of glistening hunks of red meat sitting in their juices.

Pasta Carbonara with Zucchini and Crispy Prosciutto
Green Eggs & Ham and I go way back. Well, to childhood, obviously. But in terms of my cooking story, not quite that far.

Spaghetti and Meatballs a Piperade
The family that I cook for each week has been diligently following me on Chef Race. This is very sweet, and also strange, since we've never actually met in person.

Grilled Flank Steak with Gazpacho Sauce
