Turkey Rillettes

Isn’t the “big” question always what to do with the leftovers from Thanksgiving. I mean really now…everyone has their grandmother’s gravy recipe, their mom’s stuffing recipe and pretty much everything else under the sun. Books have been written around holiday cooking and there are thousands of web sites offering [...]

chefRob — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 04:42:00 +0000

Lunch is one of my favorite meals, especially here in San Diego. I am, as many know not a big breakfast eater and working late as I do lunch is (usually) my first meal of the day, unless you count coffee as one. I have designed the lunch menu at the Glass Door around [...]

Glass Door update – 9-2008

chefRob — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 18:56:02 +0000

After a busy weekend (Labor day) I find myself a s a chef reflecting back on the last couple of days. I was happy and quite surprised that we were sold out on Saturday night, and turned the dining room over 1.5 times. From what I could ascertain, most of our guests were locals, even [...]

Bone Marrow, nom, nom, nom!

chefRob — Wed, 07 May 2008 05:39:12 +0000

I know, I know…what’s the deal with this? I am constantly harassed by my friends about the food I choose to eat. Menudo, chicken feet, coagulated pork blood and yes, bone marrow. I find it kinda funny that everyone is so interested in what I choose to eat, guess I should take it as [...]

Yea,

Who doesn’t love crepes? Last year when I was living in my other condo, I told some friends that every Sunday morning I ate crepes for breakfast. It was kinda funny because at first, no one believed me. Then all of a sudden, one Sunday there was a knock on the door. Allison, Kat, Ryan [...]

Pasta has to be one of my great comfort dishes, as it’s versatility as a food stuff is almost unrivaled. Pasta comes in many different shapes and sizes and allows you to make a variety of different sauces to accompany these varying shapes.

Marinara is one of my favorite pasta sauces to both make [...]

chefRob — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:45:45 +0000

The art of braising is one that requires plenty of patience, a good heavy pot and an oven or stove top. Once you have assembled these 3 components, you can begin the creative processes necessary to make this dish and to become an expert braiser.

Short ribs come in 2 different cuts, flanken (long [...]

Beef Bourguignon or Beef Stew w/ Red Wine

chefRob — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 20:46:19 +0000

Beef Bourguignon is a great dish, exemplifying the refined nature of French cooking, while at the same time reaching out to the hearts of those of us that simply love a good stew. This time of year, when the weather takes a turn for the worst I am always looking for a dish that [...]
