Steak Frites with Roquefort Butter

by Jillian Bedell May 9, 2013

To get to work in New York you commute underground, emerge someplace sooty and windswept and walk briskly to your place of employment, stopping at a deli for a blue cup of coffee and a bagel, griddle-toasted, oozing butter. At the close of business you slip through the stile with one smooth Metrocard motion and [...]

How to Make Butter

by Jillian Bedell April 17, 2013

I’ve always wished I’d lived in another era. Which is typical, I realize now, and also kind of a cop-out. Like, I would have been so much better at being a pioneer, or a flapper, or a patrician, or a peasant, or a writer correspondent in the Spanish civil war. Instead of just getting a [...]

Gooey Butter Cake

by Jillian Bedell March 5, 2013

Want to make a house feel like home? Bake this cozy butter cake on the afternoon of your second day, when you are surrounded by boxes. Surrounded by cardboard boxes stuffed with newspaper and odd objects stacking up precariously to your ears while a determined toddler marches past carrying framed photos, clothespins, the dog’s bowl, [...]

Bubba Gump Shrimp Company Copycat “Shrimpin’ Dippin’ Broth”

by Jillian Bedell October 12, 2012

Cancun has become synonymous with debauchery. Spring break. College students out of control. MTV. HPV. THC. The Id and the dangerous ocean. Drunkenness, wantonness, excess. Tacky, inauthentic tourism. A city without memory or consequence. A vacation destination for those who seek to leave behind American law and basic human decency without having to forgo speaking [...]

Skillet-Browned Spaetzle

by Jillian Bedell October 9, 2012

Once upon a time in the Catskills, I ate spaetzle and sauerbraten on New Year’s Day. We’d taken a bus from the city, in a blizzard, to meet friends at a many-bedroomed house we rented for the weekend. A bus that stopped at country gas stations all the way up scenic Route 87 until we [...]

Croque Madame

by Jillian Bedell September 19, 2012

There once was a bar on New York’s Lower East Side where we used to go when we were young. Let’s call that place, “Trombones.” It had an upstairs and a downstairs and a room in the way back where little indie bands would play. And boys wore their skinniest jeans, and girls turned in [...]

Classics: Linguine with Mussels and Clams

by Jillian Bedell January 9, 2012

A wader-wearing fisherman steps out smiling from the refrigerated barnlike structure, where haddock and other local fishes are getting sorted and processed, cleaned, scaled and filleted, to help the customer, who was me. I was charmed and happily waited in the cold sunshine for the burly guy to go inside and bag up my stuff. I made off with a pound each of steamers and mussels for [...]

Savory Monkey Bread

by Jillian Bedell November 22, 2011

Monkey bread is a celebration of life, liberty, equality, fraternity, Pilgrims, Native Americans, the pursuit of happiness, shoes with oversized buckles, burning the witch, Mt. Rushmore, The Great Gatsby, and manifest destiny, most often made with a cylinder of Pillsbury biscuit dough. I read that Nancy Reagan used to serve it at the White House. [...]

How to Make Butter Chicken

by Malcolm Bedell November 16, 2011

When someone mentions “classic Maine cuisine,” my mind immediately leaps to big, steaming copper pots overflowing with creamy saag paneer, yogurt-marinated blackened chicken skewers cooking in hot clay ovens, sweet, fruity chutneys, and thick vindaloos so spicy that they blow the top of your head off. Wait, that’s not right. How about the fact that [...]

Schnitzel-wich with Garlic Butter and Spicy Relish

by Malcolm Bedell October 19, 2011

Because I seem to have taken on a subconscious quest to become some sort of 300 pound guy, today I drizzled hot butter onto pan-fried baby cow, slapped it between two pieces of bread, and ate it in sandwich form. And I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Furthermore, I want you to [...]
