Roasted Sea Bass with Wholegrain Mustard Sauce
For our Valentines Dinner, Carolyn Flynn jetted across the country so we could be together. We prepared a Roasted Sea Bass with Wholegrain Mustard Sauce, served with roasted red beets topped with goat cheese. Our desert was strawberries dipped in chocolate. This recipe is from our favorite cookbook, My Wild Atlantic Kitchen. For the lack of sea bass, we used haddock. Surprisingly, the mustard sauce was very subtle. Ingredients Serves 4 Preheat the oven to 400°F • 4x 8oz sea bass fillets, skin on and descaled • Olive oil, to fry • Sea salt and cracked black pepper • Simple wholegrain mustard cream sauce (see below) Brush the sea bass fillets with the oil and season. We just used fresh cracked pepper. Heat an ovenproof frying pan over a medium-high heat and place...

Almond Flour Pizza
For our standing Saturday Night Dinner Date, wonderful co-chef and lady love Carolyn Flynn and I decided to go with home made low carb pizzas. She went with a cauliflower crust and I decided to make an almond flour, mozzarella crust I found on the interweb tubes. I made two small pizzas from the instructions below. Otherwise, this makes a nice medium sized pizza. The first one is my traditional pizza a tomato sauce with ham and black olives. The second was a pesto garlic chicken and goat cheese pizza. (https://goodpointofview.com/2023/02/04/garlic-honey-chicken/). I put mozzarella on top of both. The focus of this post is the wonderful almond flour crust. This recipe from Jackie Taylor is a keeper. I plan to make a batch of these crusts, vacuum seal them and put...
Garlic Honey Chicken
My Friday night dinner is absolutely gold…at least to me. I set out to do a garlic/honey chicken I saw on YouTube and I came up with a complete surprise. When I was in middle school and high school, to support my photography hobby (which led directly to my life in newspapers/magazines) I mowed the yard of the guy across the street from me. He lived in NY, but had a local Japanese restaurant. When I would go there to get paid ($20 a month back in the 70’s bought all my darkroom chemicals and film) they would always serve me some chicken teriyaki on rice. It was great. As an adult, I have always tried to replicate that flavor, and I never did. Until tonight. Completely by accident. The key to the sweetness was honey. So, I give you my Garlic Honey...
A Double Decker Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich
Making a rare lunchtime appearance with an offering from my kitchen, I give you a fried double chicken cheese sandwich. During our noon walk I ask Chase the dog what I should have for lunch. He reminded me that I had hamburger buns from last week in the freezer and some raw chicken thighs in the fridge from the Indonesian eggrolls. Giving these ingredients I worked a spicy air fried chicken sandwich with a garlic Cayenne aïoli. I mix some milk with some vinegar to make a faux buttermilk and soak the breasts in it for a couple minutes while I made my dredge of almond flour, Tony’s Cajun seasoning, and some black pepper. After dredging the chicken through the seasoning I put it on the air fryer for about 10 minutes each side at 400°, checking the temperature...
