Pacific Clam Chowder | Springtime at the RGB

      Hello, friends! We know it’s been awhile since we’ve posted. No good excuse, except for I had a horrible February/March. First it was the flu… which turned into sinusitis and bronchitis… then we went to San Francisco for a weekend (no agenda, just to roam)… then I got hit with strep throat. [...]

Hello, friends! Today we’re changin’ it up and doing a guest post for Gwen over at Bunkycooks. Head over there to see what we made with our winter garden pepper this week… And because we’re still giving stuff away, make sure you leave a comment (at Bunkycooks) for your chance at a box of herbs. Happy day! [...]

Hank’s Cream of Chanterelle Soup | My Bowl of Lolita

To quote Nabokov, “my little cup brims with tiddles,” because I’ve been kissed by chanterelles so sweet, so silky and so sultry that I’ve completely lost my mind. Let me backtrack.

Max’s Spaghetti with Meatballs and Marinara | RSVP Redux for October, 2010

It just-so-happened that the first thing I noticed when we checked into the B&B over the weekend was the May 2010 issue of Bon Appétit lying on the coffee table. While waiting for Barry to get dressed for the wedding, I leafed through it and found… spaghetti and meatballs. But not just any spaghetti and [...]

Cabernet Wine Linguine with Porcini and Cream Reduction | Sunday Shout-out to Blackmarket Bakery

On Monday evening, September 20, 2010, I was invited by Marla to an event hosted by Chef Rachel of Blackmarket Bakery to learn about, then cook with – Cabernet Wine Flour. A beautiful example of using someone else’s throwaway, the folks over at Marche Noir Foods have figured out how to use leftover cabernet grape [...]

First Impressions

I knew I’d marry Mr. RGBistro before we were even dating. A couple of years ago we had arranged to spend a mid-week evening together. We’d been bragging about our home-cook skills and decided it was time to flex them. Mr. RGB volunteered his bachelor kitchen, which I accepted because it seemed a lot better [...]

The Kitchen Sink’s Liquid Gold

Because we have our dog on a RAW diet, we go through a whole chicken every two days. With each whole chicken, Britta the Weimaraner gets the breast, legs, thighs and wings. We save the necks and backs for ourselves. So about every other weekend, when we have about 10 pounds of necks and backs [...]

Lunch a la Provence | Spicy Clam Pasta with White Wine Sauce

Manila clams are small, sweet and delicious. While they originally hail from Japan, they’re also farmed on the west coast. Over time, you’ll see that we use these in a lot of our recipes. Especially when we find them on sale.

The Vietnamese Italian | Garden Herb Spaghetti Bolognese

Growing up, I loved my mother’s spaghetti and my aunt’s lasagna. While I have no idea what was in my aunt’s lasagna, my mother’s spaghetti sauce recipe was simple: sauté one onion. Add a pound of ground beef. Discard fat. Add package of Lawry’s Spaghetti Seasoning. Add can of tomato sauce. Salt, pepper and serve [...]

Pizza, Upgraded | RGB Pizzetta

Is it just me, or when we were kids, a pizza meant phoning Pizza Hut and having pepperoni and cheese delivered? (Note from Barry: I had Me and Ed’s Pizza or Shakeys.) When did fancy pizzas get popular, and why am I so late to get on board? Last Autumn while dining on Britta’s couch, [...]

Leading Off with Leftovers | Garden Chicken Soup

When there’s a surplus of produce lying around, especially when the leftover goods were intended for another purpose (last week’s Coq Au Vin and Boeuf Bourguignon), one of my favorite things to do is make soup.  The elements are simple: broth, vegetables, aromatics and protein.  The possibilities: endless.  Because we have a sicky sicky in the house, here [...]
