Give me a chowder, hold the cream


The trend in recipe creation these days is to take a classic and turn it inside out: put a lobster roll into a broth or a corn chowder into a salad bowl. The Fabulous Beekman Boys of Planet Green TV are publishing THE BEEKMAN 1802 HEIRLOOM COOKBOOK, making use of what they grow on their magnificent farm in Sharon Springs, NY. I have to admit, it's delicious! No, the buttery broth is gone, but what's left is sweet corn, potatoes and red bell pepper browned in bacon fat, bacon, and red onion (which can overpower everything else, if you're not careful). Use a spoon, you don't want to leave one smidgeon of that lovely bacon fat behind!
