This chicken dish is one of my favorite ways to highlight these little wonders.

Now that I think would be a hoot.

Although smoked haddock is the traditional fish used with the rice, hot smoked salmon from the coast of California is a great substitution as it adds a local flair to the dish. Additionally at this time of year Meyer Lemons are still available and they serve as a wonderful substitution from the more acidic ...

Many years ago when I was with my wife, I neglected to tell her to close her window on the passenger side as a herd of cattle passed us on both sides of the road. When a cow ...

In Ireland its sold all over the country in wonderful hand formed loaves, which are a tender combination of wheat, oats, sweet butter, a touch of sugar and buttermilk. The following recipe comes from the small town of Schull where my parents have lived for almost forty years now and when I come home it’s the first thing I eat. Soda bread is not unlike a much larger and somewhat denser biscuit. The key to this ...

I had come to visit my parents who’ve owned a farm on a little patch of pristine coastline for thirty years. When I first visited Ireland as a young man, the Emerald Isles reputation for food left something to be desired, as it was not uncommon to actually hear your food being plopped into the deep fryer from the kitchen in the back of almost any restaurant.
