If you tweak a recipe, is it legit to call it your own?
I'm one of those people who read recipes daily but doesn't directly follows them. They are "inspiration" until I tweak. I'm not sure if it's an ego thing (if I sub in chili oil and it rocks, am I creative?) or an irresponsible lack of attention to detail (I've never been good at following directions). I had a hankering for shrimp on the barbie so I went straight to Steve Raichlen's Barbecue Bible and decided that his recipe for "Honey Sesame Shrimp" would be my "muse." Read More »

Cooking for Dads and meatball experiment
I was working on the next episode of my show, Cooking for Dads, and I decided to experiment with some different takes on the traditional meatball.

Teriyaki Grilled Shrimp
Imagine walking along the beach on a bright summer day. The cool salt water rushes in to swirl around your ankles, then races away playfully. A slight breeze brings a whiff of salty ocean air. You hear seagulls squawking all around you. The taste of the briny ocean air is on your lips as you watch the sun set over the immense ocean.
After a perfect day at the beach, you need a perfect meal, so why not a summery barbecue? To me, summer means one thing - lots of grilling. Perhaps some sweet, salty, teriyaki marinated shrimp on the barbecue. Absolute heaven. Wonderfully delicious. A perfect summer dish.
If you're a sushi lover, this shrimp is amazing in a roll, especially if you pair it with some grilled onions. Yum!

Grilling seafood is way faster than drive-through
Now that it's summer, I'm all about the quick and fast meal, preferably with tons of fresh local ingredients.

How to cook the perfect shrimp
Summer is just around the corner (weather-wise and according to the calendar) and few ingredients are better suited to the warmer months than shrimp. They're versatile in the kitchen, don't stick-to-your-ribs, and cook up in a jiffy. I love them in shrimp cocktail, salads, appetizers, dips, and sandwiches. But they're easily overcooked—a mistake far too many people make. Read More »

My Rachael Ray moment (Will it last?)
My parents own a seafood restaurant in Connecticut so when they came
to visit me here in NYC last month they stocked up my freezer with a
lifetime supply of shrimp! My mother has been telling me I spend way
too much money on dinners out and that it's time I made more meals at
home. The truth... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (0) | Blog
