Bowl of Cooling Yogurt

Evan Kleiman — Tue, 18 Jul 2017 17:23:28 +0000

When it’s really hot and appetite flags a cooling bowl of yogurt can be all you need. This combination, taken from the Persian kitchen is halfway between Mast-o-Khiar the cucumber-yogurt dip that accompanies many dishes and an Ash-e-Mast or yogurt soup. In my version I...

Pizzoccheri, the Comfort Pasta of the Season

Evan Kleiman — Thu, 11 Dec 2014 18:05:27 +0000

The refrigerator is suffering from in-between celebration emptiness. A lonely cabbage sits there with a nice head of garlic, a elderly chunk of fontina and some grated parm. And yet it’s enough to create a world of comfort because I have a package of Pizzoccheri...

Caramelized Apple Gallette

Evan Kleiman — Sat, 22 Nov 2014 00:21:38 +0000

Sometimes you want a gallette instead of a pie. You’re shocked hearing that from me? Well, don’t be. Apparently I enabled a gallette to be the winning “pie” at the last pie contest. And you know why? Because of the increased caramelization possibilities of more...

Last Gasp of Gazpacho – Old School

Evan Kleiman — Thu, 25 Sep 2014 17:05:46 +0000

The Mom asked for Gazpacho for dinner. Knowing her well I asked if she wanted it the way we made it at Angeli, meaning the traditional Spanish way, a smooth puree of soaked bread, vinegar, copious extra virgin olive oil and tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and...

Making Dinner in the Heat Doesn’t Have to Involve Cooking

Evan Kleiman — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 18:07:21 +0000

This quick and easy dinner was inspired by Aida Mollenkamp‘s Chile Basil Coconut Ceviche. Black Cod arrived from the fish CSA this week, I just bought a can of coconut cream and I was awash in fresh lime juice. It was, as they say, beshert, meant...

A simple pasta is a live saver. How many nights are you rescued from eating out of a box just because you know how to throw together a good simple pasta? First tip: Don’t just rely on tomato sauce to coat the pasta. I love good sweet,...

Scamorza alla Griglia for a Simple Dinner

Evan Kleiman — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 21:05:48 +0000

Cheese and tomatoes go together like, well, pizza. But sometimes you don’t want all that bread. Sometimes you want something satisfying, fresh, that’s hot and quick. Insalata Caprese is great, but when I want something a bit more substantial and warm I make Scamorza Affumicata...

Peas on Toast (with Bacon)

Evan Kleiman — Fri, 25 Apr 2014 22:35:40 +0000

It was one of those days. I had run all over town doing errands when suddenly it was 5 o’clock and I remembered that the fridge was uncharacteristically empty. I got home, ran up the stairs, ran into the kitchen slightly panicked (the Mom must be...

Spring Vegetable Sauté

Evan Kleiman — Thu, 10 Apr 2014 21:56:44 +0000

This is what spring looks like. Truly. So why not make a dish that takes the best of those green, grassy, sweet flavors, adds garlic, great olive oil and a hit of salt and serve it up in one dish? The subtle beauty of all...
