Fish & Shrimp in Tomato Curry SauceFish curries don’t seem to be as popular as chicken, lamb or vegetable curries.  It’s too bad, because fish curries are really good.  This curry uses both fish and shrimp, which work very well together…friendly creatures of the sea, swimming together in a nice tomato-based curry sauce.  Continue reading →

From time to time, one needs to “cook the pantry/fridge”.  Things accumulate and are pushed to the back.  So being in self-isolation, now and again, one needs to look deeply into the crevices that things slide into…like that box of partially used, dry falafel mix. It’s a challenge to use things in new and creative ways.  That’s how this eggplant dish came to be.  Continue reading →
