The Brooklyn Kitchen recently acquired several heirloom recipe index cards. They are free and near the cash register. Perusing through them I found some fantastic things but the diamond in the rough was this Duck recipe by Cass Elliot. I have no way to prove it but I hope and pray it is 'the' Cass Elliot; the one and only 'Mama' Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas. Assuming she could cook as well as she sang I am sure this is heavenly.
At Molly's grandparents' little house in Maine, dinner always begins with cocktails, and cocktails are always poured at 5 o'clock sharp. When the flurry of food preparation is through, dinner is baking in the oven and the table is set, her grandparents sit down together to enjoy a little peace, quiet and that final gin and tonic of the evening. When you hear them say "One and Supp?" it simply means, do we have time for one more cocktail before supper?
In our Brooklyn home, this tradition of food, drink, creation, and communion continues and this blog serves to document our home cooking and the care that goes into making such daily celebrations.
