Based on the photo, it really doesn't look like pizza found in Naples.
However it does look tasty

Hunters Were the First Locavores

might be? probably. I doubt there are any hunters that just leave the meat in the woods.

Hunters Were the First Locavores

First off, I am not a hunter.

Is there a difference between hunting for sport and for food? I don't think there is.I believe all the meat is used when one hunts for "sport".

Sport hunting is part of wildlife management.

Last month's National Geographic had an excellent article about how hunters are actually land and wildlife conservationists.

perhaps try later in the evening when the oven is hotter.

Mario Unclogged: Marinara Sauce

ok here is my take on a basic tomato sauce.

Open 2 cans of San Marzano tomatoes and drain the excess water, not the packing juice/puree. Pass the tomatoes and juice through a food mill and put it aside.

Saute about 1/2 cup onions in extra virgin olive oil for a few minutes
Add the tomatoes, handful of fresh basil and salt.

Bring to a boil, boil for 5 mins.
Lower to simmer for about 40mins. Add fresh basil again during the last 10 minutes.


Optional: brown pork before adding the onions.

I believe the San Marzano tomatoes in the picture are grown in the US.

How do you grill when you don't have a grill?

Here is what I do to help minimize the smoke and cleanup when using a cast iron grill pan indoors.

I add kosher salt between the ridges of the grill. The salt catches the grease and helps prevent smoke while still creating grill marks.

Another tip is to start the indoor grill on the stove top to get the grill marked and then finish it in the oven.

How to Delay Herbal Death

For me the best way to "keep" basil is to put the stems into a glass of room temperature water, then loosely cover the leaves and rim of the glass with a plastic ziplop type bag. By doing this you are creating a greenhouse type environment, then leave it on a counter that has indirect sunlight. Never put it into the refrigerator.

Bertucci's

The quality of Bertucci's has gone down over the years. You would need to go back in time to about 1990 to get a pizza from Bertucci's. Even the locations that use a wood fired bread oven are losing quality. The next time you go, look below the oven where they should be storing the wood, but rather they are using some prefab wood log product.

For the best pizza in Boston, you'll need to leave Boston and head up to Bianchi's in Revere Beach. Santarpio's is good but very inconsistent, and way too much cheese.

The Upper Crust gets lots of press, but I don't their expansion is hurting the quality of the pies.

Newbury Pizza is no more and is sorely missed.

Serious Sandwiches: Kelly's Roast Beef

Nicks is good, but for a truly excellent beef, goto Billy's on Main Street in Wakefield, near the Melrose line.

Venice restaurant recommendations

I second the Trattoria Alla Madonna recommendation. We strolled past the place one afternoon and chatted with the kitchen help as they stood outside for a smoke. They allowed us to peek into the kitchen and check it out.

I always pick up several pounds of Kate's on the drive back home from Owl's Head every year. That and the native strawberries extend summer vacation for a few extra weeks.

Have never tried Kate's because we have Houlton Farms butter here in Aroostook County, Maine. Dark yellow and comes in a one-pound block. It's very similar to the butter I used to make in my "back to the land" days!

Indeed, excellent butter! And an interesting look at the process & the maker.

Mario Unclogged: Marinara Sauce

I cant imagine making a marinara without basil, oregano, fresh black pepper or crushed red flake, and a bay leaf. Is the purpose of the carrot to take the acidic edge off of the tomatoes?

Also, I have seen real Italians add celery to their sauce as well. Not for me, thanks. btw, my mother was born in Venice of Italian parents, so that makes me anglo-venetian, but I learned to make sauce from my southern Italian buds.

Bagel Barn on the corner of 12th Avenue and 65th Street in Brooklyn. It's a walk in or drive through place and the guys who work here make a perfect cup every time!

I go to Porto Rico Importing Co, 201 Bleecker Street. It's a great place for whole beans, of course, but they will also brew-up a cup of anything you want at the small cafe in back. Best, freshest selection around.
