Crab Cake Patty Melt with Pickled Fennel

There is a commonly held belief in the culinary world that cheese and seafood should not cross paths. And there is some sound reasoning behind this belief. Strong cheese overpowers the delicate flavors of most kinds of seafood. Reasonable logic, sensible even. But as much as I want to believe and adhere to this piece of culinary gospel my love of tuna melts won’t let me. My mom’s scallop crepes with parmesan cream sauce prevent me. The prevalent popularity of lobster Mac and cheese leaves me with questions. And today’s Crab Cake Patty Melts makes me want to throw the whole notion out the window. If these sandwiches are wrong, well, I don’t want to be right.

Okay, here’s a mash-up no one asked for. California roll meets cobb salad. I will admit, the two classics don’t exactly spring to mind simultaneously. It takes a truly disorganized food-obsessed brain to arrange this meeting. But I must say, I was pretty pleased with this bit of fusion when all was said and done. The two fed into each other surprisingly well. I hate when fusion feels forced, so I’m happy to report this California Roll Cobb Salad came together without a fight. Frankly, the two seem designed for each other. So let’s set about mashing them together, shall we?

We got a lot of snow this week. 40cm to be exact. And I love it. Of course, I feel for all the people inconvenienced by this dramatic weather event. But I do love a good blizzard and I love the opportunity to snowshoe, cross country ski, and generally act like an excitable puppy in a snowbank. But sadly, we’re in for rain followed by a swift drop in temperature. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say I despise icy conditions almost as much as I hate cold rain. But there is a silver lining to this yoyoing weather activity. There will be every excuse to huddle over a simmering pot of this Thai Fish Cake Noodle Soup. This baby was made for wet socks and dampened spirits, so let’s dive right in.

If there’s one thing you can learn from today’s Kale Caesar Flatbreads it’s this: Salad is better when served on bread. I know, it’s not really a shocking discovery. Bread has a tendency to make everything better. But this recipe is not all about the bread, although it is spectacular. What you are looking at here is a fluffy flatbread topped with baby kale coated in a whipped feta caesar dressing topped with blood orange, thin slices of red onion, and marinated white anchovies. This is the stuff of dreams…well, my dreams at least. So let’s get into it.
