Oyster Trip!

July 13, 2011 by ericriveracooks

(Hama Hama’s Oyster Field) Chef Kevin asked me about a month ago if I wanted to visit a few famous oyster beds in Washington in order to learn more about oysters…..I said, “YEAH!!!!!”.   We rounded up the rest of the crew at Blueacre Seafood and headed out to the lands of oysters. I’m in the process of writing a kitchen manual for the restaurant and we’re also working on an oyster guide for our customers so this trip was […]

Scallops & Potatoes, Version 1.0

July 2, 2011 by ericriveracooks

The scallops I bought from a store were absolutely atrocious, nothing close to the ones I get in the restaurant.  I need to nail the size of the potato and scallop.  Honey comb in the middle is nice and the muscat/orange vinaigrette was nice as well.   Buy better scallops and fix potatoes then there might be something here. Scalloped Potatoes…..I never had them until about a year or so ago……I thought I was going to get scallops and potatoes…..I was […]

Berries and Cheese, Version 1.0

July 2, 2011 by ericriveracooks

Blueberry gel was too thick….too much xanthan gum.  Rainier cherries, fromage blanc, ciabatta toast, lemon verbena, arugula flowers, strawberries, and blueberries.   Just needs a little cleaning up. Eric
