An Afternoon at Lakin’s Gorges Cheese

by Jillian Bedell March 22, 2013

As she read through our website, cheesemaker Allison Lakin, of Lakin’s Gorges Cheese, couldn’t help but notice a strange trend. Many of the times we raved about a cheese we had just tried for the first time, in favorite neighborhood restaurants like Trattoria Athena in Brunswick, or In Good Company in Rockland, or Fromviandoux in [...]

Today’s Sandwich: Open-Faced Toasted Mozzarella and Tomato (Homemade)

by Malcolm Bedell March 7, 2013

When you write a blog that features lots of photographs of sandwiches, they had better be mind-blowingly inventive. There’s no room for PB&J at From Away World Headquarters; back when we had all the time in the world, it was a cinch to whip up Veal Schnitzel-wiches with Garlic Butter or burn through an afternoon [...]

Pepperoni Stromboli

by Jillian Bedell February 26, 2013

There’s a black and white photo hanging in our hallway, a family snapshot, of an anniversary party from the 1950′s. In it, my mother was a little girl in fancy dress, my grandparents smiling young parents, and my great-grandmother Anna and great-grandfather Gaetano in the center, married fifty years, stout, stern and proud. There were [...]

Ricotta and Chicken Sausage Stuffed Shells

by Jillian Bedell February 21, 2013

I miss my Josephine dearly. She and I were good friends, in the end, and I spoke to her on the phone many times a week. I still think to call her all the time when I’m driving, to tell her of the antics Violet and I are up to and hear her raspy old [...]

Shrimp and Grits

by Jillian Bedell February 4, 2013

New Orleans is one of those cities you feel like you know, and love, even if you’ve never been. It’s storied, romantic, mythic, Gothic, strange, and beautiful. I’ve only visited a couple of times for a couple of days. Once, for my 25th birthday, a trip we will not discuss, and once on business. And [...]

Gnudi in Sage Butter with Fresh Tomatoes

by Jillian Bedell December 27, 2012

Gnudi, pronounced “Nudee”, is a ricotta-based dumpling, a sort of ravioli in the buff. Hence, gnudi – it means naked! I clothed these fat little bastards in a sage butter sauce and at the last second added a healthy spoonful of garlicky tomato bruschetta topping that my mother-in-law made for Christmas Eve. Just what the [...]

Today’s Sandwich: White Pizza Grilled Cheese (Homemade)

by Jillian Bedell December 19, 2012

Today’s sandwich is the “White Pizza Grilled Cheese.” It combines ricotta, mozzarella, garlic, red pepper flakes, and fresh basil on toasted bread. Notes: We went on a little excursion to New York last week. You may have heard about it. And it was great. Really, really great. We didn’t do much of anything at all, [...]

Cheese & Mushroom Pull-Apart Bread

by Malcolm Bedell December 10, 2012

Browse Pinterest for inspiration for long enough, and some strange things start to happen to your sense of right and wrong. Two hours in, a search that may have started with a simple pan-seared duck breast eventually ends in “Mozarella Ganache Stuffed Nutella Coffee Cake Pancakes with Red Velvet Honey Mustard,” and you’re staring open-mouthed [...]

Cauliflower Gratin

by Jillian Bedell December 3, 2012

We were desperately in need of real dinner. A proper, grown-up meal taken at the table and not in front of the TV. We’ve been faking it, eating leftovers my mother-in-law sent over, going out, and snacking at odd hours for weeks. I was ready to cook something. Nothing elaborate, but a satisfying, balanced meal. [...]

Lamb Belly Wrapped Dates

by Jillian Bedell November 9, 2012

I remember a butcher shop, in the neighborhood where my mom was a girl, a grouping of houses with streetlights and sidewalks, on the outskirts of a city, not a suburb or a subdivision, something from the past, where my grandparents still lived when we would go and visit them on Sundays. On the corner, [...]
