The other gourmaniac and I took a detour from our Riverhead destination yesterday afternoon and drove out to Calverton where “our” tomato farm is located. It’s the one we frequent every late August to hand pick a dozen or so bushels of plum tomatoes for our home made tomato sauce. The reason for this year’s […]

Grilled Sea Scallops and White Asparagus

July 14, 2011

Grilled Scallops and White Asparagus The rib-eye steak Robert was preparing for dinner last night sure looked and smelled good, but being primarily a pescatarian, I had another culinary vision for the evening meal. Earlier that afternoon I picked up 3/4 pounds of large, fresh sea scallops, figuring that the meat eaters would also enjoy […]

Salmon Fillet with Sriracha-Miso Glaze

July 11, 2011

Broiled Salmon with Sriracha-Miso Glaze over Basmati Rice with Edamame & Toasted Cashews What do you do when: 1) Sriracha chili sauce is your “ketchup” 2) your exceptionally perceptive (and beautiful) niece knows it, and 3) she gives you The Sriracha Cookbook? Well, I guess you start cooking! I was so impressed by Randy Clemens’ […]

Grilled Chicken with Tamarind-Nectarine Glaze over Grilled Corn & Beans Salad

July 8, 2011

Something clicked in my head while reading about tamarind on some website, and suddenly I remember making my own tamarind paste from a tamarind “brick” not too long ago. That effort was the death knell for my last blender. It sputtered, smoked and fizzled out to an unhealthy sounding electrical hum; but the rendered tamarind paste […]

A Happy 4th of July Late Lunch for Two

July 4, 2011

Grilled clams, tuna, and asparagus It’s been a bit whirlwindish for the 2Gourmaniacs the past several days. After cheffing the birthday celebration the other night, it was kind of like jumping out of the frying pan, I mean the sauté pan, into the fire. We enjoyed immediate family over for a couple of days visit, […]

A Summer’s Night Celebration Dinner Under the Stars

July 2, 2011

Here was a first for 2Gourmaniacs: a private cheffing gig where Rosaria was a guest and Robert was the chef.  The venue was a casual, women only, birthday celebration for a close friend of ours. The location was a spectacular 50 acres country estate in Southampton, NY. And amazingly, the birthday gods dished up fantastic […]

Lumaconi with Garlicky Seafood Tomato Sauce and Fiddleheads

June 27, 2011

Lumaconi with Garlicky Seafood Tomato Sauce and Fiddleheads I’m fairly certain that we recently bought the very last of the fiddleheads coming from somewhere in northern New England. Surprisingly, we found them at one our local supermarkets as opposed to our local gourmet green grocer. We’re always in the mood for seafood and pasta, so […]

Mini Salmon Burgers with Creamy Dill-Relish Dressing & Onions

June 17, 2011

My family is coming over this weekend for a combination Father’s Day and multiple family members’ birthday celebration. Thinking about what to serve, I decided to test out a mini-salmon burger recipe that has been brewing in my mind recently. When I finally got to it this morning, what happened? The skies opened up and […]

Swordfish & Pineapple Skewers with Sweet & Spicy Relish

June 15, 2011

This recipe, Swordfish & Pineapple Skewers with Hot & Sweet Relish, is more about the relish than the main ingredients, which barely get a quick dunk in a marinade. Without a doubt grilling is one of my favorite ways to cook food. Now that I have access to my grill again, and finally with the arrival of […]

Tuna Tartare canapés and finger food

June 7, 2011

To most it is a well known fact, and perhaps to others, maybe not so well known, that a canapé is a small and typically decoratively prepared hors d’œuvre food, held in one’s fingers, and it is usually consumed in one small, polite bite. The finely chopped raw fish marinated in citrus, seasonings and sauces pictured […]
