It’s not that I haven’t been cooking! But I have been working a lot with the Edible publications this summer in addition to traveling and neglecting my garden, so let me share a couple of items with you.
Last week, a whole Edible team headed to Amagansett in the Hamptons to spend some time with food and wine personality and writer David Rosengarten. That was loads of fun. You can see the advance outtakes here and get a great recipe for a stacked Italian salad.
Yesterday the little man and I blanched, pureeed and froze five pounds of tomatoes. If you haven’t seen how on Hot, Cheap & Easy yet, click to see it on Edible Long Island.
And here are a couple of pictures from stories for the Edible Long Island Travel issue; my lucky task is to cover some of Long Island’s most delicious international restaurants!

The Ellas: A Taste of Africa – Deer Park

FADO, Huntington: Croquetas de bacalhao (I know they are not called croquetas in Portuguese, but don’t have my notes at the moment!)

FADO: Flan
I’ve been dying to try Cafe Buenos Aires. Those alfajores are so tempting.
Yeah, Leandro hit them pretty hard. He generously saved a couple for his grandparents, though.
Excellent and I love croquetas, which sound almost French in Portuguese – croquetes 😉
I love them too. And these were DELICIOUS!!!
I’m very jealous 🙂
Gotta say, it is a personal triumph to have a meal that would make YOU jealous…you are the king of envy-provoking meals
Ohh thanks! I really do love croquetas, especially with bacalao 🙂
