Tropical SlawThink of this cole slaw as a “monsoon” of tropical flavors…pineapple, mango, orange…need I say more?  Okay, maybe I do, but you’re going to want to slap this on some fish tacos or anything seafood-y.  Or just have it for breakfast.  Continue reading →

Croatian Braised Beef (Dalmatinska Pašticada)I was reading a blog the other day, and I ran across something called Pašticada.  So, what’s this about?  Not being Croatian, this was new to me, but from what I was reading, this dish is a pretty big deal.  For the non-Croatian palate, this may seem like an odd combination of flavors to use with beef—lemons, nutmeg, cloves, prunes and other dried fruit—all braised slowly in red wine and plum brandy.  Continue reading →
