One of my all-time favorite recipes, truly. It’s sweet, earthy, and full of umami, punctuated with just enough peppery parsley to keep you on your toes. Linguine alle Vongole Adapted from Esca. From the Food Network and Sara’s Secrets. 1/2 […]
I’m working on an essay about this dish for lohud, so I won’t tip my hat too far here. But I will say this: after a trip to the farmers market, and some very sage advice from our fishmonger, I […]
Our absolute favorite recipe for Linguine with Clam Sauce comes from an old recipe on the Food Network, back when Sara Moulton was a star. It’s simple and delicious, and you can pull it off in about 10 minutes. [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:60] […]

What a terrific find in Ditch Plains. It’s kid friendly, cool looking, and, best of all, the food is great. It really was a perfect fit for lunch after our morning at the museum. My curry mussels and frites, above. […]
When I was reporting for the recent story on waterfront dining in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam, I had the chance to try the new menu at Striped Bass in Tarrytown. The food certainly fits the bill for a waterfront spot: lobsters, […]
