Icelandic Lamb Loins
Icelanders eat lamb at an impressive annual rate, as Jason Epstein noted in his 2002 Times magazine article. While there, he and his friends prepared a few pounds of lamb loin, browning them in butter and finishing them in the oven. “It was an evening I shall never forget,” he wrote, “and one that I have since recreated many times, omitting the sugary potatoes and adding a dab of rosemary-infused demi-glace in a red-wine reduction to the lamb.” He shares that recipe here, and while he recommends the delicate Icelandic variety, domestic lamb will also suffice.
Pan-Roasted Lobsters
You will need two heavy oven-safe skillets or sauté pans.
Creamless Creamed Corn
Sea Bass in Black Bean Sauce
Do not be alarmed by this list of ingredients. This dish is much simpler to prepare than it may seem.
Hen-of-the-Woods Mushrooms
Warm Salad of Striped Bass
Joël Robuchon's Lobster in Sauternes
The great Joël Robuchon had interesting things to say about lobsters, some of which may be taken with a grain of sel, for example his preference for Brittany lobsters, especially those from Finistère, over the American variety. But his tender description of their lovemaking when the female has molted while the male is still in his armor is touching, as is his account of the lobster's suicidal affection for the conger eel. This recipe for lobster in Sauternes is divine.
Russ & Daughters' Chopped Chicken Liver
Codfish Fillet With Parsnip Purée
This dish is, in effect, a deconstructed New England codfish cake but made with fresh, not salt, cod and with parsnip purée rather than mashed potato. The flavorings, however, are the same.
Fried Oysters
Bass With Truffle Vinaigrette
Summer Peas
Roman Lamb
Pierre Franey's Pasta With Clams
Roasted Tomatoes
Chickens Under a Brick
These take only 12 or 15 minutes to prepare and can be held in a 50-degree oven for an hour or so. Therefore it is most convenient to grill them two at a time.
