Keith: Having grown up on the DelMarVa penninsula it was obvious to me that I had to go back to my roots for this ingredient. Historically a crab cake made with blue crab has been attributed to Maryland. Yes the blue crab flourishes in the Chesapeake Bay but did you know they also do very well just to the north in the Delaware Bay.
Maryland has a larger crab industry and thus they have better PR. Over the years I have become somewhat of a crab cake snob. Normally I avoid any listing on a menu that lists ‘Maryland Style’ crab cake. If they have to point out a ‘style’ then you are not in Maryland or Delaware and it just won’t be good. The worst offense in the construction of a crab cake is TOO MUCH BREAD. I can’t say that enough. Too many recipes (even those of big name chefs) call for an oversized amount of bread crumbs providing for a soggy bready mess. It is a crab cake not a fried bread cake. In researching for this post I created my own recipe that reflects what I feel a crab cake should be. Just enough ingredients to hold the crab together leaving the crab itself as the center of attention. I prefer a broiled crab cake but they can just as easily be pan fried to give them a crispy crust. A good crab cake will change your life. Thanks.
I love all types of cuisines from around the world, by my all time favorite has always been Italian. Any type of Italian Pasta Dish is such a comfort food for me. My favorite is carbonara, which I make in a variety of ways.
I can hear everyone saying ‘ but pasta is Italian. Actually, pasta did not originate in Italy, but rather in China. It was however the Italians who have regulated the making of pasta ‘ durum wheat only, and who taught us that pasta should be eaten al dente.
Tip #8: Use Pasta sauce, not oil, to keep your Pasta from sticking together in the serving dish. If you plan on dishing out the Pasta at the table and then ladling the sauce over it on the plates, you will need to do something to keep the Pasta from fusing into a giant mass before you can serve it. Some people toss the Pasta with olive oil, which gives it a pretty sheen, but I strongly recommend using a small amount of the Pasta sauce instead.
Olive oil simply doesn’t work very well for the task, since it is absorbed so readily by the Pasta. Also, drizzling cold olive oil on the warm Pasta is counterproductive. Instead, ladle a small amount of the Pasta sauce into the Pasta serving dish and toss it thoroughly. It’s not quite as pretty a solution, perhaps, but it works much better.
