Dear Gustare Guest,
We wish you warm summer greetings from sunny Cape Cod. Thank you to those who were able to attend our 1st anniversary celebration and enjoyed Cucina d'Amore's mobile wood-fired oven pizzas drizzled with some of Gustare's featured favorites! Catherine's recipe focus for the Test Kitchen this season is Summer on Cape Cod. We hope you enjoy Gustare's recipes for kicked-up lobster rolls, clam chowder with a zip, and our patriotic summer fresh fruit salad...with coconut balsamic!

Gustare guests enjoy Cucina d'Amore at our 1st anniversary event
Chef Teddy Churchill created Cucina d'Amore Fine Catering employing a portable handcrafted rolling wood fired oven for Gustare's 1st anniversary event and a very memorable guest experience.
"Igniting a Passion for Flavor"... Catherine & Dave collaborated with Cucina d' Amore to enhance some of his specialty pizza, flat breads and other wood fired recipes.
Our guests enjoyed a delicious offering of fresh pizzas drizzled with Sicilian Gold from Aragona, fresh Caprese Salad Skewers laced with our Lemon Infused EVOO , Tuscan Herb Crostini offered with a White Bean Dip made with our Chipotle.

Catherine's summer season notes from the Gustare Test Kitchen |
2 lbs of lobster meat cut into ½" chunks (approximately 4 steamed lobsters - 1 ½ lbs each. I figure ¼ lb/person for lobster salad rolls on this size bun.) ¼ C celery, minced ½ T minced shallot Herbes de Provence Aioli (recipe follows) pinch of sea salt black pepper, freshly ground, to taste tender, leafy lettuce of your choice 8 hot dog buns - toasted or not Directions In a large mixing bowl, combine lobster meat, celery, onion, 2 tablespoons of aioli, salt and pepper, to taste. You can always add more aioli, if desired. Line the buns with some lettuce, fill with lobster salad and finish with a generous grating of black pepper.
Note: For ease in the kitchen, ask your fish market to steam, crack and split the lobsters. It saves time, eliminates some of the mess and you won't feel as guilty...Enjoy!
Herbes de Provence Aioli Yield: 1 cup, approximately 2 eggs, room temperature (recipe uses 1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk) 1 C Herbes de Provence Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 T lemon juice, freshly squeezed pinch of pressed garlic ¼ t sea salt black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
Directions In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, add whole egg and egg yolk and blend for about 5 seconds just to get the eggs together. Begin to add the oil. If the oil is added too quickly, it will not emulsify. Blend in the lemon juice, pinch of pressed garlic, sea salt and pepper to taste. Taste and correct for seasoning...Enjoy!
Note:
Pressing 1 clove of garlic will enable you to use more if you like. Taste as you go for the desired result.
Other Suggestions: Catherine's Clam & Scallop Chowder is the perfect accompaniment with lobster salad followed by our Patriotic Fruit Salad with Coconut Balsamic Reduction for a light, refreshing summer dessert. Enjoy! |
