Posted on December 21, 2012 by scarpettakate

‘Tis the season, I suppose, but I’ve been running around like a loon the past week or so. It’s hard to keep dinners wholesome and healthful when at the end of a long day all I really want to do … Continue reading →

Salmon Cakes

Posted on November 30, 2012 by scarpettakate

Broiling a nice piece of salmon is just about the fastest dinner possible, and one I rely on pretty often on busy weeknights. Sometimes I’ll dress it up with a mustard glaze or yogurt dill sauce, but nine times out … Continue reading →

Garlicky Shrimp & White Beans

Posted on November 2, 2012 by scarpettakate

There isn’t enough space here, not enough on the whole wide Web, to properly give due my love for the gutsy, earthy food of Spain. I love the garlic and olive oil and tomatoes, the shellfish and chiles, the lusty … Continue reading →

Corn & Tomato Salad

Posted on August 3, 2012 by scarpettakate

Pizzeria Delfina is one of my favorite lunch spots in the city (my go-to order is their broccoli rabe pizza, a poem to Neapolitan pies everywhere) and a new-favorite starter is their special insalata granturco (“corncob salad”), an easy arrangement … Continue reading →

Chicken Paillards with Spring Peas

Posted on April 20, 2012 by scarpettakate

I’ve been cooking my way through Ian Knauer’s The Farm, a collection of rustic, seasonal recipes from a former Gourmet food editor’s family farm. Even though I hold a deep-seeded distrust of the boneless, skinless chicken breast (pasty, bland, dry, boooring), … Continue reading →

Chicken-Pesto Meatballs

Posted on January 6, 2012 by scarpettakate

Let the record reflect: I’m not Italian. I didn’t grow up with stories from the Old Country in my ears, tugging at the apron strings of a Pugliese-bred granny. I have no genetic memories of tagliatelle or cavatelli or pasta … Continue reading →

Spiced Cocktail Nuts

Posted on December 2, 2011 by scarpettakate

This, friends, was a totally last-minute recipe. As of 8:30 this morning, I’d completely forgotten to test a single recipe (let alone write anything) for this week’s post (we’ve been having leftover soup and roast chicken and takeout from the … Continue reading →

Sardines on Toast

Posted on June 8, 2011 by scarpettakate

Today’s recipe isn’t going to win any beauty contests. (Nice try, parsley sprig.) And on paper, “sardines on toast” sounds sort of Dickensian and sad, some little soot-covered street urchin’s attempt at a proper meal. I promise you, though, it’s … Continue reading →

Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Panini

Posted on February 19, 2011 by scarpettakate

It’s been raining for a week now, and the thought of sloshing over to the market in driving rains (and the occasional hailstorm) hasn’t held much appeal. Even our exuberant puppy doesn’t want to head outside. Can’t we just hunker … Continue reading →
