Tips: Boat Food
I spent a few years living and working on sailboats full time. My job was to cook for the owners, their friends, and occasionally racing crew. Learning how to provision, meal plan and use every little bit of food onboard was a gift and it taught me how to thoughtfully blend fresh and preserved foods. Turns out, that skill comes in handy every time I open my fridge and feel like there’s nothing to eat.
Celebrate with Seafood
A few nights back I brought home two pounds of mussels and two pounds of tuna steaks for a celebratory dinner. My husband and I had just put a house under contract earlier that morning (fingers crossed!) and our good friends had just listed theirs in anticipation for a move up the coast. We figured a nice seafood spread was the perfect way to round out the day. Baked sweet potato fries, a hearty loaf of bread and a salad topped with citrus complimented the fish and we made sure the white wine was flowing.
Cookbook Review: Eventide
I adore this book. Eye catching and very “Maine”, this book has the ability to grab your attention, no matter who you are or where you are from. It’s a delightful look at small town Maine’s seafood shack culture for visitors looking to explore Maine cuisine outside of the Old Port.
June Moments
Funny how some months seem to last a lifetime and others fly by in a flash. This morning I woke up and looked through my photos from the last few weeks and was happy to see the little moments that were captured. June has been filled with milestones in and out of the shop. Oh, and there’s a recipe in here for homemade quick pickled beets!
Mixology for You and Me.
Sipping a made-just-for-you drink is the perfect punctuation to a busy week. These days many of us are missing the colorful creations of talented mixologists and settling for mediocre or downright boring end of day drinks. Well, just like the sourdough you’ve perfected over the last few weeks, now’s the time to master the art of handcrafted cocktails.
Pairings: Beer and Grilling
Are you even grilling if you don't have a beer in hand? We're big believers in the magical alchemy of smoky, charred meals and bright, hoppy drinks. SKOROD Team member Julia Bretz has been cooking with beer pairings in mind and has come up with the following tips and tricks!
Cookbook Review: Serial Griller
As we were searching for the best new grilling cookbook of the season we came across Serial Griller by Matt Moore. It’s fantastic! The profiles, recipes, and stories are interesting and informative. Frankly, we can’t put it down and made five dishes from it for a recent family dinner.
Cookbook Review: Alison Roman's Nothing Fancy
Nothing Fancy is the cookbook I always knew I wanted and am so happy to have found. A few months ago, I was at dinner at a friend’s house. The hosts had recently moved in together and as we sat in their living room, Katie introduced me to Alison Roman’s cookbook, Nothing Fancy.
