Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, and Travel
Co-owners of the Quarry restaurant, Ron and Julie LeDuc along with Chef Greg Jordan, graciously invited my wife and I to try their Sunday brunch. As with most restaurant invites, we were thrilled to go, but didn't really know what to expect. A quick perusal of the menu promised a potentially delicious meal while substantiated...

While perusing the farmer's market in Pawtucket, RI, I decided to stop at the PV Farmstand to see what Frank Martinelli, the self-proclaimed "King of Boar," had to offer. I ended up purchasing some knockwurst sausage and immediately knew I wanted to try using them to make something other than a simple sausage sandwich. If you're... Continue Reading →

My love of dim sum is no secret and from that love came recipes for both shrimp and pork steamed shumai dumplings. Considering that these are my two favorites whenever I go out for dumplings, it only made sense that I would try and replicate them at home. I've been making shrimp shumai for years,...

Fresh salsa is hard to beat and practically impossible to find at the grocery store. When a representative for Nola's Fresh Foods contacted me to try a free sample of their Salsa Fresca, I was more than interested if not a little skeptical. The name threw me for a loop because NOLA usual means New Orleans, LA,... Continue Reading →
