Carriage House Cooking School on NCPR | Christmas Frittata

In case you missed our conversation with Todd Moe of North Country Public Radio this morning, here are the links to the podcast and our recipe.

This month Todd and I discussed my traditional Christmas brunch and the star of it, the almighty Frittata. As you will hear the frittata has a special place in my heart. First it was one of my late father’s favorite foods and he would often drive to Westport to get one while I was working at the Westport Yacht Club. Secondly it was at the Westport Yacht Club where I was crowned the Frittata King, a tribute tot he many frittatas I would make each Sunday.

ICYMI | Carriage House Cooking School on NCPR

Last week I joined Todd Moe, host of North Country Public Radio’s The Eight o’Clock Hour, via Skype to discuss some easy thanksgiving sides and local apples. If you didn’t catch us this morning feel free to click the link below to give it a listen.

If your curious about Snapdragon apples you can find them at some local orchards. In the Champlain Valley they are available in Peru directly from Forrence Orchards, Northern orchards and Rulfs Orchard.

Snap dragons have an irresistible crunch and are so juicy. I strongly recommend giving them a try.

An interesting fact is that wild rice is actually not rice, it is a grass seed that grows in the shallows of lakes and slow moving tributaries. The three main varieties of wild rice are native to North America. For more information about wild rice click here.

Thank you for tuning in or catching up here. I hope your November is as juicy and delicious as a Snapdragon apple and your Thanksgiving feast allows for a hearty serving of gratitude and thanks.

Cheers!
