Clam Chowder

October 21st, 2010

I don’t find myself craving specific foods most of the year (with the exception of these and this), but there’s a certain pull towards comforting classics in the fall.   This dreary weather begs for hot meals, prepared slowly by the heat of a stove.   I grew up eating clam chowder out of sourdough bread bowls in San Francisco and the hearty soup has remained one of my favorite dishes.  I made this East Hampton version last night and it was creamy, indulgent and wonderfully filling.

    OHEMGEE. This is my favorite and I swear it was all I wanted to eat for a while when i was pregnant. I love Ina and I’m always hoping to run into her at a farm stand, the farmer’s market or at Citarella when I’m out in the Hamptons. …sigh…

    The very first time I had clam chowder was exactly how you did, in a sourdough bowl in San Francisco. I can’t wait to try this out myself.

    This looks like the perfect fall recipe. You are such an amazing little chef! I especially like your dessert recipes… I’m going to make those homemade Oreo cookies one of these days… my whole family loves Oreos so I’m not really sure that they’ll last longer than 5 minutes…
