The 2012 Great Maine Food calendar is available as of this week. Published by Down East, it features 12 seasonal food photos of mine with accompanying recipes from various Down East cookbooks.

Well, things are greening up around these parts given a solid week of wetness, with more of the same in the forecast. The lack of sun is doing little for growth in our garden. I was trying to figure out something to make out of pretty much the only two things we have in abundance [...]
Got salt?

I made bagels. Impressed, aren’t you? Okay, to be honest, I had some help. Perhaps you’ve heard of the fabulous Scratch Baking Company, which happens to be located in my wonderful, little neighborhood? Well, they have just come out with the first edition of a gorgeous new bi-annual publication called Baker’s Notes, which contains stories, [...]

This is the first installment in an occasional series of recipes I will share with you of basic foods I think are worth making yourself. Whether it be because the store-bought version isn’t nearly as tasty or healthful as one I can create or because it’s much more expensive to purchase the prepared version, there [...]
Spice it Up

In the Winter/Spring issue of Taste of the Seacoast, my photos accompany an article by Kathy Gunst about the fantastic Indian restaurant, Tulsi, in Kittery. If you’re tired of every Indian restaurant you go to having basically the same standard offerings prepared in the same old way, get thee to this gem. The exceedingly humble [...]
Get Yourself Some Culture

And I don’t mean of the artistic variety. I’m talking about the lovely cheese magazine, Culture. Yes, there is a magazine devoted to all things fromage: making, serving, eating, you name it. I did a shoot for their winter issue at the home of the Maine-based food writer Kathy Gunst, who prepared several luscious winter [...]

With the arrival of colder weather and shorter days, cooking and baking is more appealing than ever. Maybe it’s the instinct to stockpile before going into hibernation, or finding something comforting to do indoors or maybe it’s the slight slowing down of life that allows for a little more personal indulgence. Whatever the reason, preparing [...]

Here we are already in late May! We harvested the first big batch of mesclun greens from our garden this weekend. They were absolutely beautiful and tasty too. Work has been so busy (did I mention I’m doing 50 cookie photos for a gluten-free cookie cookbook coming out next year?) that life has really been [...]
Got Cheese?

‘Tis the season! For what, I don’t know, but that’s what everyone is saying. In this country it seems like it’s the season of excess. Even in this recession, people are out of control with buying inane stuff. I’m all about getting and giving useful, particularly perishable, gifts. This year I made organic Maine blueberry [...]
