    Fried Eggs with Roasted Potatoes, Garlic, Rosemary and Pecorino

    If I do a post on Friday, it’s usually because I have a weekend breakfast that I want you to make. There was that time I told you how to make eggs, biscuits and bacon; and let’s not forget these banana walnut waffles. This weekend, all you’ll need are a few stray Yukon gold potatoes,…

  • Eggs, Biscuits & Bacon

    Eggs, Biscuits & Bacon

    I make a mean weekend breakfast. The variables often change; sometimes it’s a frittata, sometimes it’s waffles. The only constants are freshly ground coffee and paper towel napkins because who uses cloth napkins at breakfast? Lately, though, my mean weekend breakfast looks a lot like the breakfast you see above: homemade biscuits, crispy bacon and…

  • Breakfast “Burrito” with Two Salsas

    Breakfast “Burrito” with Two Salsas

    You may have noticed that I’ve been posting more and more original recipes here. I like that. It makes me feel like, in the past 7+ years of running this blog, I’ve learned a thing or two. Still; not everything I do is a major success. Sometimes my original conception for a dish doesn’t work…

  • Raid-The-Fridge Frittata

    Raid-The-Fridge Frittata

    I don’t often ask you to get out of your seat while reading my blog, but for the frittata you see in the above picture I demand a standing ovation! I mean, really. Can you believe that I made that? Not only did I make that, I made that bleary-eyed on a Saturday morning using…

  • Weekend Brunch: Poached Eggs on Roasted Potatoes with Hollandaise Sauce

    Weekend Brunch: Poached Eggs on Roasted Potatoes with Hollandaise Sauce

    Last weekend, I decided to make a very ambitious breakfast of poached eggs on roasted potatoes with Hollandaise sauce. It took a whole carton of eggs (three for the Hollandaise, four for poaching and the rest for throwing away after the yolks bled into the whites) but the resulting dish, as you can see, was…

  • Frittata & Aioli

    Frittata & Aioli

    I promised I was done with my trip to Barcelona, but–as often happens when I travel abroad–I came home eager to cook my trip. Of all the things we ate during our ten days there, two dishes were immediate candidates for the Amateur Gourmet treatment: frittata & aioli.

    Immortality is not something food bloggers can look forward to. Even though the internet feels permanent, who knows where we’ll be in ten or twenty years? These posts that you love and cherish so much might vanish into the ether and then what? What will food bloggers have to show for themselves? Nothing, I tell…

  • A Killer Breakfast

    A Killer Breakfast

    There is no greater triumph for a home cook than to make something spectacular out of food you already have on hand. Case in point: the dish you see above, Chorizo scrambled eggs and fried fingerling potatoes–assembled, with no premeditation, in a matter of minutes. How did I do it? Easy. I took Chorizo that…

  • A Say, Say, Savory Onion, Cheese and Bacon Tart

    A Say, Say, Savory Onion, Cheese and Bacon Tart

    If it’s fair to mock Diane Keaton for ordering pastrami on white bread with mayo in “Annie Hall,” then it’s fair to mock me for not knowing much about savory tarts and quiche-like items. In my Jewish upbringing both in New York and Boca Raton, Florida I never encountered a savory tart or a quiche.…
