The other night I decided to cook a bit more than usual. I had halibut and spinach but wanted to do something more exciting than broil the fish so I went to epicurious.com and plugged in halibut and spinach and this is what I found. I used small potatoes because it is what I had from CSA that week and just layered them on the front and back of the fish (no skin) pressing with parchment paper and carefully turning them in the pan.

This leads me to thinking about the closing of Gourmet Magazine. It is extremely sad news in the culinary world I am told. I was sad to hear because I had just started receiving it in the mail (as a replacement for Domino closing). I liked it much more than Domino, really looked forward to its arrival and left me wondering why had I resisted this magazine in the past? Well, among other reasons logging on to epicurious is just far easier than thumbing through magazines at 8 PM on a tuesday night and it is free. I guess I am part of the problem (although epicurious IS the creation of Conde Nast) or perhaps just the new wave of instant information seekers. I did just buy a Kindle and love it, for the most part.
Just some thoughts as I sit relaxed on my computer with no kiddies around to stop me.
Happy cooking!
sorry, I meant to have the pics reversed before cooking and after...you get the idea though. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the delicious recipe Mama LS! We are always looking for more ways to cook fish in our house. I was also stunned by the end of Gourmet and also Cookie, which is the one parents magazine I have enjoyed reading. I guess I'm still hanging on to the old ways. I love to receive the Times on our doorstep every morning and new issues of my favorite magazines in the mail. I also love going to the bookstore to pick out a new book. I guess I am going to be slow to catch on to the latest tech advances when it comes to my reading materials!!
