Returning food to the sacred
Another salsa I made for the Blooming Table event that I hosted a week ago; Tapanade Salsa. This is really an ode to one of my favorite fruits ever… the olive. Anyone that knows me… knows the obsession. This salsa packs a strong flavor and goes excellently with the cool crispness of a slice of jicama. If you […]
I hosted a Blooming Table gathering last week and served a variety of different Mexican inspired salsas with thick corn chips and slices of jicama to eat them with. I’ll post a few recipes over the next couple of weeks, starting with this one. But I have to say, I’m loving this idea of a […]
I love broccoli and I love dishes I can whip together from memory even more. This is recipe is easy, delicious and nutritious. I last made it for a Thanksgiving meal in May. Yes, Thanksgiving in May. It was put together for a photoshoot and it withstood cooking it hours ahead of time and being […]
Come on… did you really think I’d spend months on end in Thailand and NOT discuss this elixir of indulgence and bliss? Anyone of us who has ever either been to Thailand or a Thai restaurant has had the divine and potentially diabetic coma inducing Thai Ice Tea, yes? I don’t know what to tell […]
I had a hard day the other day. One of those days when I’m hurt, feeling a little less than usual, unseen and like there was a scarcity to joy in general. Oh yea… it was ugly. I couldn’t really shake it. My state was one of those things that you just have to let […]
It’s a matter of record now that on of my most favorite culinary combinations in the entire world of food is the Caprese salad. As a salad, a sandwich and now as stick food, I can’t ever grow tired of this dish and have been known to spend whole Summer eating this 80% of the […]
Stick food. I’m telling you, it’s my latest obsession. This was on of the dishes served at our Housewarming party a week ago. Satay is originally a Java, Indonesian dish made up of any seasoned, skewered and grilled meat, served with a sauce. In truth I’ve come to associate it with Thai cooking, but a […]
Jon and I had our Housewarming party last weekend and I served nothing but stick food and cocktails. Don’t ask me why, but the idea stuck and off I went to make food we could all eat on a stick. This is the little cocktail I served and it was delicious but deceptive and after […]
I love me my blended Chai lattes. It’s all I get when I go out to any coffee shop, but living out beyond a 30 minute drive to any, I just don’t have them as often as I might like. This of course, isn’t a bad thing. At about $5+ a pop, I have to […]
