An Autumn Dinner Party Menu

by Jillian Bedell October 4, 2012

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about throwing a dinner party. An intimate, joyful, intoxicated evening with six guests, many bottles of wine, laughter, twinkly lights, well-chosen music, and parlor games. I’ve put together a fall menu culled from our collection of recipes. It should be no surprise that each course is dead simple – [...]

America! Presents: Humpty Dumpty “Lobster Bisque” Flavored Potato Chips

by Malcolm Bedell September 20, 2012

When I was a Senior in high school, I was pretty broke most of the time. This was, as I think back, mostly by choice; I had a perfectly respectable teenager’s job at the Shaw’s Supermarket in Rockland, which I knew wasn’t going to be a major career move. The four dollars per hour I [...]

A Conversation with Bill Howe, Chef Aboard the Windjammer Angelique

by Jillian Bedell September 7, 2012

He’s wearing green suspenders and a thick black beard; he’s compact and tattooed and looks as if he wrestles bears in his spare time. He is easygoing, a born sailor and skilled craftsman. His cooking philosophy emphasizes technique, and in his current position, his improvisation skills have been honed to a fine point. This is [...]

Reading: Portland, Maine Chef’s Table: Extraordinary Recipes From Casco Bay

by Jillian Bedell August 24, 2012

Portland has been celebrated as a food destination for some time, a best kept secret that locals always knew, finally getting attention from the wider world. Chefs are here because they want to be, because they’re from here, did time with the big boys in far flung cosmopolitan capitals and wanted to come home to [...]

Classics: Spicy Cheez-It Chicken Fingers with Homemade Buttermilk Ranch

by Malcolm Bedell August 23, 2012

Who among us hasn’t, when confronted with a menu filled with a dizzying array of dishes, including a fresh-foraged locally-sourced braised pork shank with a fair-trade pesticide-free basil/pomegranite reduction, cast a wistful eye towards the kids’ menu, and wished for simpler times? Whether you are an actual child, or have simply rendered your brain childlike [...]

Classics: Stuffed Mushrooms

by Jillian Bedell July 27, 2012

These stuffed mushrooms are a perfect party canape. Classic, bordering on kitschy, but not all-the-way kitsch. The inclusion of Ritz crackers was, in my opinion, a bold choice. Ritz crackers remind me of my grandmother’s friend, Arlene. Did you ever have to accompany your grandma to a friend’s house? Like, if you were staying with [...]

Lobster Fra Diavolo

by Jillian Bedell July 12, 2012

I assume you’ve heard the news about lobster. How there was briefly an abundance of it, due to overfishing, which had driven down the price to ridiculous lows. So we have some soft shell lobster up in this joint, and need a new way to spin our favorite local delicacy. Is something still a delicacy if it costs less [...]

Our Two Year Anniversary

by Malcolm Bedell July 10, 2012

A lot can sure change in two years. We first purchased the “From Away” domain name while still sitting in our house in Mexico, doors and windows all sealed against the elements, air conditioner running ragged, choking to keep up with the blistering sun, while we tried to figure out how to cook pizza dough [...]

Cantina El Rayo

by Malcolm Bedell June 6, 2012

Over the last two years, Portland’s Mexican restaurant scene has undergone a fairly massive transformation. In just 24 months, it’s as though the city collectively moved past the grim, cynical depictions of South of the Border fare, past the bottomless bowls of melted queso, and beyond fishbowl-sized frozen margaritas. All at once, Portland diners were [...]
