Chicken Provencal

This is one of my favorite dishes to prepare. It showcases John Boy's very happy and delicious chicken legs, slowly simmered with aromatic vegetables, capers, white wine, lemon, olives and fresh herbs...among other things :-)

Beautiful Greens!

Thank you to Amba Farms for these beautiful, baby salad greens!

Our Mascot

Well here she is, Mischka Lou, the official mascot of Erica's Kitchen. My four-legged brat, fast asleep and snoring. :-)

Dreaming of Heirloom Tomatoes...

February will be over before we know it, time just keeps moving faster it seems. We've not had a real winter, and I have to say I do miss it. It is a big change compared to last year, but I wouldn't mind a good snow storm or two. Crocuses, hyacinths and daffodils, among so many other "signs of spring", really shouldn't be sprouting this early. We'll see what the next few months have in store, Mother Earth just isn't herself, and I'm not surprised. As a cold rain falls outside tonight, I'm thinking about heirloom tomatoes and am anxious to get my seeds started. This is a shot of a sandwich we made at the kitchen this past summer.

Flatbread Pizza Fest!

Six feet of flatbread pizzas! Margherita, Roasted Garlic & Basil, BBQ Berkshire Blue and Hawaiian Pineapple.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Nothing says love like a pair of beautiful steaks from John Boy's Farm. A T-bone and Porterhouse, sitting on the fire... :-)

Roasted Garlic & Basil Flatbread Pizza

It's been quite some time, to say the least, since I've posted to this blog. Erica's Kitchen is now located in a space of it's own, at 1 Court Road, in the historical district of Bedford NY. It's a cafe/market, full of good, clean, local food, along with lots of love and light. The beautiful flatbread pizza pictured above, was one of the special surprises on the menu this past Sunday.
