Fresh bay leaves make a difference. Under-appreciated. Under-utilized. Under-understood? #justahomecook #Cookingsky #Foodsky

My take on Tuscan borlotti or cranberry bean and farro soup. It's a good week to have a big ass pot of fresh soup available. Beans from @ranchogordo.bsky.social. Local farro. 🍽 #Foodsky #justahomecook #soup

I had a bag of beautiful chicken livers from a farm ranked as one of the most humane in the country (I wrote about them earlier this year). I thought, I'm already standing in the kitchen for hours, so let's make pate. Since I have pistachios and Armagnac (always), I worked those in. #justahomecook

I hear the kids love this stuff, which is funny because we always called it mother's milk. But then again, oxtail has gone hip and bougie too. #StPatricksDay #Guinness #oxtailstew #justahomecook #Cookingsky #Beersky #Foodsky

My perennial summer's bounty dish thanks to my garden and local farmers. Tomatoes, corn, zucchini, dill, bread crumbs, grated cheese, olive oil. Bake. Is it pie? Casserole? Who cares...its good. #justahomecook #homegardener #jerseytomatoes #jerseycorn #Foodsky #Cookingsky #Gardensky

I was asked at #Christmas dinner to post more food and #wine pics so here is #Christmasdinner. Venison tenderloin, wild mushroom bread pudding, Brussels sprouts with pata negra bacon and juniper berries, cranberry horseradish sauce. Syrah from Saint-Joseph, coincidentally. 🍽 #justahomecook

Do you like good sandy, buttery shortbread? Then you'd like my pistachio shortbread with semolina flour. #justahomecook #homebaker #shortbread #pistachio #Bakingsky #Cookingsky

Someone recently called me the Fruit Whisperer because of my ability to seemingly always pick out the best. #justahomecook #jerseyfresh #Foodsky #Cookingsky #Fruitsky

Soup mis-en-placing. Strong dicing game...it's cathartic! 🍽 #justahomecook #soup

I vaguely follow recipes so when one says "if you're feeling flush, add more crab than suggested," they're talking my cooking language. #justahomecook

The garden is producing nicely. Doesn't get much more local than 20 feet out the back door. #justahomecook #homegardener #Gardensky #Cookingsky

Two hours of #basketball earned a good #breakfast. Since my homemade waffles are in four sections, I went for a syrup sampler, one per quadrant: maple, ginger, blueberry and shagbark hickory, the last of which I did a story on, out this week. 🍽 #justahomecook #Foodsky #Cookingsky

I just need the ham now.

When you visit and support local farms, you get cool stuff and you know where your food is coming from. 🍽🥚🍳 #Cookingsky #Foodsky #justahomecook

Foraged/harvested/weeded a bowl of purslane from my vegetable garden. It grows back every summer. I'll make a salad, pickle some, share some with a friend. #homegardener #justahomecook #Gardensky #Cookingsky #Foodsky

Going to give this a whirl. Not only is it supposed to be good for you, but good for cooking. Look...it says so in the label! #justahomecook 🍽
