This is not your traditional grilled cheese sandwich. This recipe was made in my panini with 3 kinds of cheese, pickled red onion slices, chives and chili crisp between 2 slices of sourdough bread. A favorite for sure any time of the year when I want something special and not just 2 American slices between … Continue reading
If I ever pick up a sandwich at a local deli/grocery store I often look for a turkey sandwich. I especially liked this version with coleslaw (I added pure horseradish) and Russian dressing – no lettuce or tomato. Serve with pickles, coleslaw and/or chips and you have a nice lunch or a light dinner. This … Continue reading
Grilled cheese is a favorite sandwich, which as Americans know it, originated during the 1920’s, and is often thought of as comfort food in American cuisine. With cheese and bread readily available it is a staple in many American households, mine included. Of course this sandwich can be “kicked up” with condiments such as bacon, … Continue reading
I am continously amazed at how good kimchi recipes are and how easy this condiment is to use. These kimchi quesadillas are exceptional and really hit the tastebuds in a very good way. Crusty tortilla with a layer of kimchi sandwiched in between two layers of a great melting cheese, Oaxaca. A creamy sour cream … Continue reading

Big mistake as these really hit the spot and actually one of the tastiest salmon recipes I have made. If you are looking for a new way to use this superfood give this … Continue reading

Gochujang is a favorite condiment and provides the heat in these Sloppy Joes. There are different versions of … Continue reading
This is a component of a Mexican recipe that Yotam Ottolenghi developed with one of his test kitchen chefs, Ixta Belfrage. I have never tasted such well balanced, flavorful pickled red onions. They are perfect for Mexican or Tex-Mex recipes with the addition of shaved lime peel and hibiscus flowers. Hibiscus flowers are a popular … Continue reading
What? A hot dog in puff pastry? This is another American phenomenon that I grew up with despite the fact sausages (some say) dated back to pre-Columbus days. We seem to give credit for its appearance in America to a Coney Island vendor named Charles Feldman. I mean you can’t go to any sports event, … Continue reading
Normally, it’s a turkey or a black bean burger for me and I rarely have a beef burger but I did enjoy these two different beef burgers with kimchi added. Just a few ingredients and you have a delicious, juicy burger with a little heat. The first one I made the kimchi is mixed in … Continue reading
TikTok is a video-sharing social networking app that allows users to create and share short form videos on any topic. It is the international version of China’s Douyin. To be honest I first heard about TikTok when Trump threatened to ban it in the United States – not sure why. I did however love this … Continue reading
