Gilding the Lily since 2006
I made this by simmering leftover rice in chicken broth until the rice really softened up and topped it with whatever I had lying around. I personally like having the grains intact, but you could always go a bit longer if you prefer it more …
These photos don’t do these dishes justice, but the venison was unbelievably tender and juicy. The pilaf is staying in my permanent rotation. Had a few homies over for dinner last night, and after thinking it over for a few days, I ended up abandoning …
Revisited this winter salad for dinner, padding out the toasty kamut with a little more asparagus, black radish and radicchio (added a little more pistachio and a dash of red wine vinegar), and served with a simple seared chicken breast seasoned with za’atar and orange. …
This venison is ridiculously good, but the salad? Five stars, would visit again. Don’t look now, but Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Practice the gentle art of seduction by staying in to cook for that special someone (or #treatyoself) with this sexy plate: …

Stuffed peppers with Nicky Farms ground beef, jasmine rice, home-canned tomatoes and Balkan spices, because even though it’s been a warm and easy glide into fall, I’m kind of ready to dive into dinners from the oven. #dinnertonight #meatconcierge #peppers ? ? ? ? …
