BLACK SPAGHETTINI SMOTHERED IN A WHITE GARLICKY CLAM SAUCE

BLACK SPAGHETTINI SMOTHERED IN A WHITE GARLICKY CLAM SAUCE by Cecelia Heer

While visiting my local fish monger yesterday (Tuesday is a good day to visit the market—other than a Friday), I saw beautiful littleneck clams. Typically, I’m not very fond of clams because, many times, at restaurants, they could be a bit chewy. Since the price was only $5.00 for a dozen of the beautiful mollusks (about 1 ½”- 1 ¾”…

SHRIMP AND CRABMEAT ETOUFFEE

SHRIMP AND CRABMEAT ETOUFFEE by Cecelia Heer

Several weeks ago, after enjoying a great etouffee at a cooking demonstration and tasting from a local top-rated chef, I was inspired to make my own version the following day. Since Mardi Gras was coming up the following week, and since I am a seafood lover, I wanted to make a version with seafood, or more likely shellfish. So, I…

Mussels Manhattan

Mussels Manhattan by Cecelia Heer

A classic Manhattan is a fine drink, and our home bar is always well-stocked with bourbon, sweet vermouth, and bitters during the winter months (all other months, too). I adapted this recipe from executive chef Larry Tressler of Holland House Bar and Refuge in Nashville. The mussels are simmered in bourbon, sweet vermouth and…

MUSSELS WITH FENNEL

MUSSELS WITH FENNEL by Cecelia Heer

After all of that tequila in the summer, it's time to return to the bulky sweaters and put away the flip-flops. Actually, we don't wear flip flops and probably never will. Our fall mussels dish contains fresh fennel, which offers a liquorish taste and is perfect this time of year. Of course, the wine to drink with this is a…

MUSSELS STEAMED IN TEQUILA WITH LIME

MUSSELS STEAMED IN TEQUILA WITH LIME by Cecelia Heer

What screams summer more than tequila and lime? Well, how about mussels cooked in tequila and lime as an accompaniment to the drink. During my 10 pounds of mussels week, I discovered that we had a bottle of Jose Cuervo Black Oak Barrel Single Blend tequila on the bar. This was probably one of the best discoveries that I made that…

LOBSTER STOCK

LOBSTER STOCK by Cecelia Heer

Recently, we visited Lobster Place in Chelsea Market in NYC and bought some fully-cooked lobsters which we brought home to eat. In my opinion, Lobster Place has the best lobsters outside of New England. With a name like that, one would think so. After enjoying the richness of the lobster meat, I saved the leftover bodies to use…

Tropical Shrimp Pasta spiked with Pineapple & Bacon

Tropical Shrimp Pasta spiked with Pineapple & Bacon by Kathleen Scott

Sometimes my best ideas are accidents. Last night's accident was a collision of leftovers plus Denny's desire to avoid grilling outdoors in 100 degree heat. As I said goodby to chili garlic grilled shrimp, I wondered what else to do with the beauties. Here's what I found in the refrigerator: cooked whole wheat spaghetti (about…
