I picked up a bag of broccoli slaw, when the store was out of regular slaw. I’m so glad I did. I love the stuff, but The Goddess has never met a piece of broccoli she didn’t love. There must be a little Italian blood in her veins, rather than the rumored ice water. Continue reading

What’s up using peaches in the winter? They aren’t in season, so what is The Goddess thinking? Well, she’s thinking that frozen fruit is a blessing and prolongs the seasons. What could be more surprising and delicious than peaches at Christmas? Continue reading

I was going to call this Tropical Cranberry Sauce, but that’s way too vague. And I want you to try this. It uses some of the most wonderful flavors of the Tropics, but still retains a familiarity to the more traditional version. Continue reading

‘Tis the time of year for pies and tarts. Autumn…mmmmm! Such good, rich flavors and pears and apples are always a big part of that. Apple pie is a favorite of the men in The Goddess’s life, but she’s sort of partial to a combination of pears and apples. Continue reading

September is National Papaya Month. I just found this out, but you all probably knew that. Who decides this sort of thing, I wonder? Well, if we’re going to honor the papaya, then let’s see what we can do with this lovely, velvety, rich fruit other than eat it for breakfast. Savory. That’s what I was looking for. And this sauce is savory, rich, subtly sweet and has a wonderful texture. Continue reading

Golden Berries. Have you heard of these sunny, little orbs? They are also referred to as Peruvian Grouncherries or Incan berries, and possibly more names, but these are the ones I have heard of. They are lovely. Continue reading

Is this really Sicilian? Perhaps, if The Goddess lived in a Sicilian village she would be making this dish, with many of the flavors—tomato, capers, olives, garlic, orange (there it is again!) and some fennel—that are so prevalent in Sicilian cooking. This turned out to be delicious, so she will be making this frequently. Continue reading

This is another KayJay invention. This is a nice winter salad. It’s more substantial than its leafier counterparts, can be made ahead and doesn’t go all limp and mushy. Belgian endive have a slight, but pleasant bitterness that just works with KayJay’s Dijon-Tarragon Vinaigrette. Continue reading
