Oysters Magic Sauce
Oysters don’t have to be reserved for a special occasion or only enjoyed in a fine restaurant. Â They’re quite easy to prepare at home whether served raw or cooked. Â I’d also like to share with you a delectable, magical, fantastical sauce made from Hog Island’s hogwash recipe and my own little sumthin sumtthin on top. Â This preparation is absolutely the best way I’ve had oysters.

Vegetarian Baked Mushroom Ravioli
I bought the frozen mushroom ravioli bag from Trader Joe’s. Â I love the ravioli but I’m not a huge fan of the sauce. Â Easy fix – discard the sauce and cook the ravioli in butter then baked with fresh grated parmesan cheese. Â I also added dry aromatics – ground sage and italian seasoning mix. Â The result: crispy edges, soft bits of the mushroom filling, and a subtle but nice sage and italian flavor.

Garlic Butter Cornish Game Hens
If you haven’t roasted a whole bird before, I would highly recommend starting with cornish game hens.  They’re quite small, only about 16 oz. each, they cost about the same price as cut chicken breasts, and they make a beautiful presentation.  Cook time is a little under an hour but it looks like you worked on these all day. 1 cornish game hen  per person is just right.  Here, I served with steamed chinese broccoli for a simple, yet elegant plate.
