We just passed several important culinary milestones. First – we cooked our first squab (yes, basically, that’s a pigeon, but a delicious one at that). Second, we had to start from scratch on preparing this bird – at $10 per pound, they’re kind enough to include the head, feet, and guts all still intact. It [...]

Tilapia with Purple Potato Crust and Chive Rosemary Oil

What’s missing from the new thincrust recipe?
The pizza to go with it!
Here’s the recipe for our Margherita pizza that we made using the rosemary thincrust pizza dough. $8.00 for an extra large pizza – I’d like to see any pizza parlor beat that!
