Linguine with Scallops and Brown Butter

Julia Childs had it right when she said, “Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.”  I am tremendously interested in butter and I love to cook with it!

Sunday morning always starts the same way, “What would you like for breakfast?”  On every other day of the week there is never any time to make something worth sitting down at the table to enjoy, but on Sundays everything changes and you have infinite choices.  Most Sundays I end up deciding between pancakes or crepes….

For the Love of Brie

I have had a long time love affair with cheese and it is my belief that Brie cheese is the best cheese to use as a base for any filled pastry.  Brie has a very mild flavor and can be combined with both sweet and savory foods.  Today I have filled puff pastry with Brie…
