I obviously am enjoying Christopher Kimball’s new cookbook as here is another recipe from “The World in a Skillet”. One of the reasons I am drawn to certain dishes is because of the ingredients and in this case cauliflower and of course chilies and scallions add more interest. Once again a recipe ranks high with … Continue reading
There are some condiments I enjoy making from scratch and chile oil is one of them. I have been using a very simple recipe and then I ran across this recipe in “The Art of Escapism Cooking – A Survival Story, With Intensely Good Flavors” by Mandy Lee. I have all the ingredients to make … Continue reading
Normally I enjoy a stir-fry with lots of veggies but this beef recipe sounded very good and easy. Besides it had two of my favorites; tomatoes and green onions. This dish was served to the author as a young child who adapted her mother’s recipe using fresh tomatoes to a canned variety. It was very … Continue reading
I was first introduced to Art Smith, former personal chef to Oprah Winfrey, on Oprah’s show way back when. During this time I purchased two of his cookbooks, Back to the Table (2001) and Back to the Family (2007). Art was cooking for Oprah, Stedman and their many guests from around the world. His third … Continue reading
Don’t know who Pia is but this recipe comes from a favorite “Recipes from a Kitchen Garden” by Rene Shepherd and Fran Raboff. This is one of 3 cookbooks published (see below as I have all 3). Some of you gardeners/cooks know about Shepherd’s Garden Seeds which Rene founded in 1985 and ran until 1996. … Continue reading
I keep running across “kimchi” recipes and a compound butter is one of the latest. Possibilities are endless as to what you can do with it. I tried two versions on a beautiful filet mignon and broccoli – spicy and fantastic! One recipe included gochujang and the other used gochugaru (Korean red pepper powder or … Continue reading
Yes, this is how the Hawaiians spell kimchi; “Kim Chee” (I am using this spelling for this post) which is a staple in most fridges in Hawaii. I can certainly understand why as the more I read about kim chee, reading new cookbooks just with kim chee recipes, online recipes I get from sources such … Continue reading
This is another Korean side dish packed with a lot of unami. Broiling the zucchini until charred, coating it in a gochujang sauce and finishing with green onion slices and sesame seeds is a special addition to your meal. I recently purchased Christopher Kimball’s latest book “Milk Street Vegetables” (first edition October, 2021) with 250 … Continue reading
This cookbook, Milk Street Tuesday Nights Mediterranean, is a favorite as there are so many recipes I am anxious to try. This is my third recipe from Christopher Kimball’s cookbook. I already posted Harissa-Spiced Pasta and Chicken with Green Beans. Another great recipe Tomato Braised Cauliflower with Feta and Mint is a winner too! I … Continue reading
I mentioned in a previous post that I am reading some cookbooks I haven’t used in awhile. This recipe caught my eye as I still had some Kimchi in the refrigerator. I have always loved sauerkraut and use to make my own back when I had a 40×120 foot garden. I was a lot younger … Continue reading
