Seafood Shakshuka
Most people familiar with shakshuka think of eggs as the common denominator, but here I pay tribute to shakshuka made in the style of Egypt’s Mediterranean cities, where seafood and local fish stand in for the eggs. While I do take liberties with the spices I use in this recipe, the method of braising the…
A Wholesome Grain Salad

How Americans Used to Eat
A colleague recently introduced me to a treasure trove of information about American eating habits in the 19th and early 20th centuries: The Buttolph Collection of Menus.

America’s Seafood Industry Getting ‘Crushed’ by High Tariffs and Inflation
Fishermen are catching a lot more than seafood in their nets this year due to ongoing tariffs resulting from the U.S.-China trade war and sky-high inflation. The resultant effect has crippled the majority of America’s seafood industry by making it less competitive. Much of this is due to the amount of offshore processing done in…
