La Provence Roast Duckling

January 2012: Roast duck simmered in Steen's cane syrup … how bad could that be?!

We love duck. But for some reason, although we'll roast a chicken for Sunday dinner at the drop of a hat, we had never tried preparing duck at home. One reason is that good, farm-raised duck can be a little on the pricey side. So it makes sense to have a good recipe to work from. Since this one courtesy of the famed kitchen at La Provence restaurant called for simmering the whole ducks in Steen's Cane Syrup prior to roasting, it seemed safe to assume that the results would be delicious. And they were. Recipe HERE. More on preparing it, and photos of the process, HERE.

Lemon and Pink Grapefruit Marmalade


December 2011: Making the most of a bumper crop, at the height of citrus season

Last week on her American Public Media radio show The Splendid Table, host Lynne Rossetto Kasper made this recipe for a classic breakfast marmalade sound so irresistible, we resolved to celebrate Louisiana's citrus season by making a batch. Done right it demands a fair bit of time at the stove. But then again, if there's a better place to spend a chilly weekend than in a warm kitchen, slicing and simmering fresh, colorful fruits into fragrant, sugary lusciousness, we don't know it. A wonderful start to the holiday season, and a perfect fit for Christmas stockings, too. Recipe HERE. More on preparing it, and photos, HERE.
