NYC: Marea (Aug. 2012)
Authors: Victor and Monty
Restaurant: Marea
Exec Chef: Michael White
Date: August 13, 2012
Victor’s Notes: Monty had only been here once for dinner, and he had a terrible experience. I wanted him to try dinner here, as my last dinner here was wonderful. In the end, he enjoyed the meal a lot (and was rather surprised haha)!
Food:
Amuse-bouche 1:
Sea diver scallops with turnip, mint, and corned cream.
Monte: Mint, corn, and scallops…great combination of flavors. It seems simple, but it’s really well executed
Attempt at Scott Conant’s Marinara
So it seems many chefs and food critics tout Scott Conant of Scarpetta as having the best tomato sauce and I decided to try to make it at home. This post is just about the sauce making process.
I found the recipe here: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/10/scarpettas-spaghetti-with-tomato-and-basil-scott-conant.html
Basil Oil
I just made basil oil for fun, can’t wait to use it!
I washed and patted dry (perhaps the most tedious part) about a cup’s worth of basil. This is just the beginning; click to read more!
