Opening Day MoJo…

It’s Opening Day…first pitch at Fenway versus the hated Red Sox  in a just a few minutes.  In continuing with how we left last season in triumphant bliss…possibly due in part to an old superstition…we’ll play along once again.  Like the baseball season itself…long and complicated…here is a long, complicated chicken recipe from Keith McNally…also [...]

World Series Champions Recipe #1

Several weeks and 8 thrilling victories ago what began as a joke evolved into a mass hysteria many of you shared with me. That it culminated with last night’s 7-3 victory and the Yankees hoisting their 27th World Series Championship trophy was truly amazing.  Thanks for sharing the ride and my psychosis so willingly.  Thanks [...]

World Series Chicken Recipe #6

OK…let’s stop fooling around here.  I know I have brought out the “big guns” before…but now it’s time for the Howitzer.  Last night’s 8-6 loss brought a sense of urgency back to the World Series and now it’s time to come home and put it away.  I have one name…and it’s the one that I [...]

World Series Chicken Recipe #5

I received a request from a friend during Game 4 for a great BBQ World Series chicken recipe.  Watching last night’s stunning 7-4 win left me exhausted and elated but I still had some homework to do.  I have encountered many barbecued chicken recipes over the years but have never had a favorite. I like [...]

World Series Chicken Recipe #4

The Yankees have another, much more prominent, food connection aside from my obsessive collection of chicken recipes.   Molly O’Neill,  formerly a food columnist for the NY Times Magazine is the sister of beloved Yankee star right-fielder, Paul O’Neill. Molly wrote a classic NY cookbook that is a collection of recipes from all over the city [...]

World Series Chicken Recipe #3

Game 2 was a heart stopper and AJ rose to the occasion and pitched a brilliant game.  I have been considering a chicken stew for a World Series post and after one down home guy like Burnett saved our bacon, and another in Andy Pettitte was pitching today, I figured that a one pot country [...]

World Series Chicken Recipe #2

I work with Martha Rose Shulman’s recipes every day for her Recipes for Health column in the Health section of the NY Times on the Web. Her talent for creating quick, healthy and delicious meals is something I never take for granted but every one in a while there is a recipe that just plain [...]

World Series Chicken Recipe #1

The World Series begins on a Wednesday and one of the things I always remember about Wednesdays was going to my grandmother’s house for chicken soup.  My grandmother, Annie, was always second fiddle in Sadie’s (my great-grandmother and family matriarch) kitchen but she could bake and she could really make stellar chicken soup.  My version [...]

ALCS Chicken Recipe #6

So, here we are back home in NY for a Game 6. Rainy, cold and miserable and in need of something warm and comforting for what will doubtlessly be a long night. I have cooked and shot dozens of Mark’s recipes and without fail his sense of simplicity and taste never disappoints.  This recipe is [...]

ALCS Chicken Recipe #5

The Silver Spoon (Phaidon) is useful in many ways… as a step stool for small children…to beat confessions out of suspects…to hammer in railroad spikes…and of course to cook great chicken recipes for ALCS games.  Silver Spoon is a hefty number not only because it weighs close to 6 pounds and has 2000 recipes on [...]
