Possible Future Projects?

I've been keeping up with Tastespotting, The Kitchn, and a few other food blogs in order to gather some future projects for my next visit home to Chicago and New York. It will be a pretty busy 2 week break of lots of eating in both cities, but I definitely want to get some cooking in. I'd experiment here in Dominica if only fresh meat and seafood were more accessible on my part of the island.


Braised Pork Shoulder. I'd love to cook this with Gabe when I come visit on the night we plan on cooking dinner for ourselves, but I feel as though we'd rather spend 4 hours doing something else in the city. We'll have to cook things that don't use up so much of our precious time together in NYC.


These Pandan Pistachio White Chocolate cookies look appropriately St. Patrick's Day-ish, but who says you can't make bright green cookies in May?!

No picture of this one, but Roasted Loin of Berkshire Grass-fed Veal with Roasted Potatoes, Wild Ramps, and Morel Mushroom Sauce would be the perfect cooking project for end of April slash beginning of May, as it will be ramps and morel season!

That is all for now.

braised pork shoulder sounds amazing. i say it's worth the four hours. or hit up the Whitney on the UES for like 3 hours while it's cooking! =)

hope you enjoy your break in NYC and Chicago!

braising is, indeed, the best, especially in the winter.
