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, [...]

Whole Baked Garlic with Bleu Cheese

by Malcolm Bedell November 8, 2012

One of the coziest restaurants in Rockland to sit and watch the snow fall has to be In Good Company, a small, inviting restaurant housed in a renovated bank on Main Street that feels more like a good friend’s living room than an elegant late-night spot. While we haven’t sat down for a full meal [...]

Clams Casino

by Malcolm Bedell September 24, 2012

Growing up in Maine, I was used to pretty simple seafood preparations. In Maine (and particularly in the 1980s), most of the clams, mussels, and shrimp my family cooked at home was of the “steamed” or “fried” variety. I grew to think of most shellfish not as an ingredient to be combined with other things [...]

Mussels with Sausages, Onions and Fennel

by Jillian Bedell June 26, 2012

This is a pleasing, rustic, one-pan dish that makes a weekday dinner feel like a French party in the country. Have you been to a French party in the country? I have and they are no joke, my friends. Always bring a buddy. So, I was already mixing up a batch of no-knead bread when [...]

Broccoli Rabe, Spicy Sausage, and Ricotta on Garlic-Rubbed Bread

by Jillian Bedell March 23, 2012

If you haven’t been in Maine this week, you are missing out on magic. Whatever the cause, it has been undeniably wonderful to be warm all the through, to hear birds chirp, to watch grass turn green and trees bud and shoots come up from the earth, almost overnight. At least, that’s how it looks from [...]

How To Roast a Chicken

by Jillian Bedell January 24, 2012

Roasting a chicken is one of my skills, but the truth is it couldn’t be simpler. I will henceforth disclose the method I have settled on, which includes aromatics, salt, butter, and little else. Now that I’m sharing this recipe – which, for years was the only thing I really cooked well – all I have [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Curry Marinated Chicken Skewers with Homemade Tomato Dill Tzatziki

by Jillian Bedell August 4, 2011

Seventy-two degree afternoons with a light breeze and a few fluffy, white clouds passing overhead. This is why we love living in Maine in the summer. And it’s why the ability to sit outside on a slate patio, looking at the grass and birds and trees, grilling meat over an open flame for our evening [...]

BLT Pasta

by Jillian Bedell April 18, 2011

You must make this. I made it up myself and it is awesome. Like most everything I cook, it’s super simple. There are components, which are comprised of steps, but those are very easy. You may need to consider the timing, but the tomatoes can be refrigerated for days and pesto improves as the flavors [...]
