I created this recipe for my 30th birthday this past fall, and it was a huge hit. For me, that meal was an opportunity to indulge in some of my favorite things! I couldn’t quite afford to serve foie gras to 16 guests, so I decided to create a terrine paired with a delicious shallot jam. The terrine’s single most important ingredient is the chicken livers, which my friend Anwar (who runs International Grocery and Halal Meats Inc. on 33rd and Greenmount – go there it is amazing!) has been saving for me for a few weeks! The livers mixed with pork, chicken, and duck, create an amazingly complex flavor. The mustard and cornichon juice give it a bit of an extra kick!

Wine Braised Duck Legs with Pommes d’Anna
This dish is one of the most delicious things I have made in ages, and I am really proud of how the flavors came together.

Seared Duck Breast with Peach Confiture and Arugula Salad with Asparagus
I had a whole duck in my freezer for the past few months. I used most of that duck for my Lamb and Duck Couscous earlier this week, but I decided to keep the breasts for something special later in the week! I still had a bit of Peach Confiture left from our cookout, and…
Lamb and Duck Couscous with Apricots
I have been planning my big Moroccan dinner for months, and talking about hosting it for almost a year now! I bought a hand built tagine (stay tuned for tagine recipes and guides!) and a beautiful Moroccan copper Couscousier. Everyone that knows me knows how much I love to cook on traditional copper and tin…
