Mushroom lovers, you won’t want to miss this! Brothers Moon chef/owner Will Mooney reprises his popular mushroom tasting menu on April 17 and May 15. At $49 plus tax & gratuity, it’s a bargain!

When was the last time you roasted a whole chicken? I don’t do it nearly as often as I’d like, usually favoring quick preparations with cut-up chicken parts, especially thighs. (Don’t talk to me about boneless, skinless breasts, the bane of my life.) But the mouthwatering photo in the December 16 New York Times Magazine … Continue reading

Two of my favorites are below, the Long Island Ice Tea – black tea infused ganache with lemon, Triple … Continue reading

This is an Armenian dish, a favorite in my family. It is made with whole skinned (i.e. “shelled”) wheat kernels, and, in this case turkey … Continue reading
Yes, they’re doing Feast of the Seven Fishes at Tre Piani on Christmas Eve, and yes, they are having a shindig on New Year’s Eve, but come spring (and maybe for a holiday gift idea?), get a load of Tre Piani’s new Restaurant Supported Agriculture dinner series during the 2011 growing season. A series of Friday … Continue reading
Tre Piani saved Thanksgiving for me. I didn’t mean that you can call them and order out (well, you probably could, but you’d likely have to pick it up yourself), but when I woke up sick today (that bronchial thing again!), and couldn’t go to Thanksgiving dinner there with my family, they sent dinner home to … Continue reading
I had dinner with family recently at Tre Piani, my first visit in a while, I blush to admit.
