More Scotch - Sipping Lagavulin
Coming off Nigel Manley's fascinating and tasty Scotch and Irish whiskey tasting at Max London's Restaurant last week that benefited a new project by Slow Food Saratoga Region aimed at teaching basic cooking skills to the general public, my interest in expanding my Scotch experience was sto...
Our greatest compliment for this dish is to say "the shrimp taste like shrimp." Sadly that is less often the case.
Taste of the Week - March 15-21, 2009
This week's top taste is not something new. In fact, it is something I have had numerous times before, so much so, that it fits squarely in the realm of comfort food for me, even if it is not an everyday indulgence. I am speaking of a "continental" classic - the Shrimp Cocktail! When I was gr...

Once in a while, I pour a 1/2 cup of aquavit into the cavity. The caraway/dill flavor seeps into the meat without being too present, if you know what I mean. I call this my drunken Danish chicken.
Roast Chicken, Christian Delouvrier's way
Recipes come to us in odd little ways. I remember learning how to make truffle omelettes from a gigling, nearly toothless old lady in Southwest France. Of course I took her seriously, she happened to be Marthe Delon, the famous truffle huntress who has been training a truffle-hunting pig a ...
After squeezing some lemon juice into the cavity and on the skin, I put large amounts of fresh thyme and smaller amounts of fresh rosemary and several semi-crushed cloves of garlic in the cavity along with half a lemon, a tbs of kosher salt and a heaping teaspoon of fresh cracked black and white peppercorns. Sometimes I add a bit of onion.
To the outside I slather the chicken with a thick coating of goose fat, sprinkle with kosher salt and cracked pepper.
Put the chicken ion a 350 degree oven for about 40-45 minutes, breast side down or on each side for 20 minutes. Then turn breast side up with oven at 400 degrees checking thigh temp to 165 degrees.
No basting needed as the goose fat does its job.
Rest for 20-25 minutes, or until less than too hot to handle. I remove each breast whole and cut into generous medallions.
Deglaze the roasting pan after pouring off excess fat, usually with white wine, and some water. reduce and swirl in some butter. pour juices from resting platter into the sauce and spoon over the carved chicken.
If I have a good chicken, this does justice to it.

Is that a teaspoon of vanilla?

These were the best, most dangerous candies I've had in a long time. I ate the ones in the marmalade box before I unwrapped the jars. Dare I make a batch?
