Cookbook of the Month: The New Portuguese Table

October 27, 2011 by katieatthekitchendoor

Hey, two months in a row! Look at me, fulfilling promises and everything. This month’s cookbook is David Leite’s “The New Portuguese Table,” a fairly recent compendium of traditional Portuguese recipes with a modern twist. I’ve been really looking forward to cooking from this book, as it won a James Beard award in 2010 and has a solid 5 star review on Amazon, with only one negative review in the bunch. I made three recipes from this book in the […]

Curried Apple Couscous

October 22, 2011 by katieatthekitchendoor

Apple picking is a great activity. It’s fun, it’s wholesome, it’s New Englandy, it’s outside, it promotes local food, and if you go with someone you secretly don’t like you can throw apples at them and write it off as “all in good fun.” (I didn’t actually go with anyone I don’t like, but I can imagine doing this. Especially to my brothers, who I actually like, but it’s always fun to throw things at your siblings. Sorry, tangent.) If […]

Beguni – Bengali Eggplant Fritters

October 15, 2011 by katieatthekitchendoor

I came home from Andover with a lot of produce on Tuesday night – besides a giant bag of apples, I also had an armful of eggplants, a bunch of kale, and fresh herbs, all scavenged from the Andover garden. Now, free produce is free produce, and I was as excited about it as I always am about free food (or free anything, really), but I was a little perplexed by what to do with 8 eggplants. My rate of […]

Apple Pancakes and Playing Hookey

October 12, 2011 by katieatthekitchendoor

Because I spent most of last weekend at the office, I took Tuesday as a comp day to try and make up for the beautiful fall weather we had on Saturday and Sunday. As soon as I had decided that, yes, I really was going to take my first day off of work, my mind immediately started buzzing with all the things I wanted to do to make the most of it. Sometimes, this can be a bit of a […]

Sage Pesto, Apples, and Fall

October 9, 2011 by katieatthekitchendoor

Since starting work, my goal has been to get the cooking and photographs for two posts done each Sunday, so that I can post twice a week without having to worry about shooting after dark. If you look at the number of posts in September (4) and so far in October (this one makes 2), you’ll notice that I haven’t exactly achieved this goal. Last Sunday I finally managed to get two cooking-styling-shooting sessions done in one day, and I […]
