White Beans with Rosemary, Tomato Candy, & Roasted Garlic {A 5:2 Diet Dinner} by Trix

Through a Bowl, Darkly: Garlicky Mussels with Squid Ink Linguine by Trix

I was binge watching Hannibal when I got the idea for this dish. I have always been drawn to fiction that intelligently explores the dark side of human nature and the allure of so-called "evil." Visually the show is lush and cinematic, and Mads…

As melodious food pairing names go, "pork and clams" just doesn't have the same ring as, say, "champagne and caviar," "wine and cheese," or even "peanut butter and jelly." But don't be put off.
