Food Network Scholar: Red Snapper with Orange and Rosemary

Television Feasts

I am a home cook who backyard gardens and has a serious closet addiction to the Food Network. I envision visiting the world in my own kitchen.

From Julia to Giada, I am a bi-product of the quirky world of anything food television. At age 10 I wanted to lunch with Julia; at 12 I thought sitting at Graham Kerr's table would be bliss; in college I was a diligent voyeur student of Jeff Smith's; and as a newlywed I envisioned myself being Martha. Then the sky opened up and violin music played in the background when I discovered an entire family of food shows on the blossoming food network. Twenty years later I am still a home chef with a backyard garden, yet in my head I am a trained chef who has eaten her way around the world, tasted all things exotic, competed in many challenges, judged the best of the best, and have a circle of friends which includes Emeril, Bobby, Rachael and more. I like to learn and challenge myself simply for the pleasure of all things food. I am a student of the University of Food Network and my textbooks, exams and extra-curricular activities all stem from channel 39.

Red Snapper with Orange and Rosemary

We went to my favorite fish monger today (Monday, I am late posting!). Oh geez, I was like a kid in a candy shop! So many exotic choices an so fresh! A shout out to Pinder's in Jupiter, FL. Not only is the selection overwhelming, the service and knowledgeable staff make it a cook's dream! I decided on local red snapper. I had never cooked it myself. I did not want to take away from the beauty of the fish so I did a simple grill with fresh orange slices. Bliss!
