He likes to eat what he brings home, so he spent some time Saturday learning new techniques from New England WildCheff Denny Corriveau.

Experiment. Often, a splash of vinegar or other acidic enhancer will do as much for a dish as a sprinkle of salt. 

By RUSS PARSONS

Los Angeles Times

 

When cooks read &quot;season to taste,&quot; they reach for the salt shaker. That's not a bad start: A judicious sprinkling with salt will awaken many a dull dish. But just as a little salt unlocks flavor, so can a few drops of acidity.



Add a shot of vinegar to a stew of white beans and shrimp and notice how the earthy  ...</description>

			<description>Cooking scallops? Think fast 

By BROOKE DOJNY

 Portland Press Herald



Scallops are a wonderfully versatile seafood. Just remember to take great care when preparing them. Too long in the pan, and you'll be left with nothing but little hockey pucks.



As with most seafood, overcooking is the bane of the delicate texture of scallop meat. It's much better to think about fish coming out of the pan or the oven medium-rare -- it continues to cook even after it leaves the pan, and will arrive  ...</description>

By BROOKE DOJNY

 Portland Press Herald

 

Time to do some holiday baking! Here are three cookie recipes, chosen because they freeze well and look beautiful together on a tray -- but, most importantly, taste absolutely scrumptious. It's no accident that all three contain chopped nuts, which, to my mind, make a cookie worth its weight in calories.

That kids love pasta is one of those parenting truisms that begins as relief (easy, cheap), graduates to fatigue and culminates in parody.

After Maine gardens have pumped out all the sweet, juicy ripe tomatoes they can muster, gardeners are invariably left with quite an abundance of green, unripened tomatoes. (Not to be confused with tomatillos, which are a different fruit sometimes called green tomatoes.)



They're a pretty sight on windowsills. And it's worth wrapping some in half-sheets of newspaper so they can ripen without rotting first.

Staff Writer Portland Press Herald

 

 The last time I spoke with Toni Fiore of Cumberland, her vegetarian cooking show, &quot;Delicious TV,&quot; had just been picked up by 21 public television stations nationwide. That was 2005.

			<description>Who knew? Broccoli makes a flavorful pesto 

 The Associated Press

			<description>A tip of the Tex-Mex hat to the versatile tomatillo 

By BROOKE DOJNY

Portland Press Herald 

 

The tomatillo -- sometimes confusingly called a green tomato but only distantly related to the tomato -- is a tart, citrusy-tasting fruit popular in Mexico and South America and used as the base for many of their delicious &quot;sauce verdes.&quot; Somewhat surprisingly, tomatillos seem to grow extremely well here in Maine.



The hard green fruits are encased in Japanese lantern-like husks  ...</description>
