Ask a Chef: Kerry Heffernan, what is your favorite Halloween candy?
"You know those Mary Janes that they wrap up? It’s kind of a butterscotch-y thing…or something. I’m not quite sure how they make it or what they do with it. I probably don’t want to know.” –Kerry Heffernan, South Gate, NYCRecipe: Pan-Roasted Tilefish with Parsnip Purée and Roasted Fall Vegetables

We love these salt cod croquettes from our friend George Mavrothalassitis of Chef Mavro in Honolulu. He puts a Hawaiian spin on the accompanying chimichurri (traditionally a Argentine sauce made with parsley, garlic, olive oil, and red pepper flakes) by adding a native chile pepper. Small red Thai or Asian chile peppers will produce the same result.
