Flan is one of those desserts that almost everyone loves. From a hostess’s standpoint, flan is a terrific dessert, as it really needs to be done in advance. It’s also a terrific dessert, because it’s simply delicious and deliciously simple. Continue reading

When the weather cools…okay becomes damn cold, there’s nothing quite like a bowl of soup or chowder. This is a simple combination of leeks, salmon, fennel and three kinds of potatoes. Chowder, without heaps of freshly ground black pepper, just doesn’t cut it on The Goddess’s table…. Continue reading

Moment of truth? This is really a garnish. In actuality, it’s a garnish that’s a relish, but “Condimento Picado” just sounds so much better than “Minced Relish”, doesn’t it? This is a perfect, tailor-made quick garnish/relish to add a punch of flavor to almost any plain, or simply prepared, protein. Continue reading

Risotto is so good. It’s a one-pot meal, The Spicy Honey likes it and well, it seemed like just the thing for dinner tonight. At the store, the shrimp looked great, so the plan came together. Don’t you just love when that happens? Continue reading

This is a nice alternative to tartar sauce. It’s wonderful served on the side of a grilled salmon filet….mmmmm! I usually serve this with Calamari Frita or Fried Calamari Rings. It is also excellent as a marinade for chicken. Continue reading

This is a nice little sauce to have on hand. It’s positively delicious with fish of any kind, but it’s decent with chicken fingers, Fried Calamari or drizzled over pork. You can vary the fruit, but I love this combination. Continue reading

If there’s calamari on the menu, The Goddess will be ordering some. Calamari, when well prepared, is a feast to behold. Crispy on the outside, a slight sweetness and meltingly tender on the inside. Delicious. Continue reading

I was thinking about making sushi, but just didn’t get myself organized enough to manage that. This is sushi, but “unrolled” or deconstructed—layers of flavor. This is fork food. Chopsticks won’t work too well here, but the flavors are deliciously sushi. Continue reading

The weather outside is frightful! Chili is just this thing to take a bite out of the cold. I know we’ve explored Chili with all the Good Stuff! in the past. Though similar, this version is much closer to the chili my mother made, out there on the Prairie. I make us sound like the Wilder’s from “Little House on the Prairie”, don’t I? However, I don’t recall that they made chili! Continue reading

I was going to call this Autumn Hummus, but really, what does that tell you? Nada! The pumpkin and roasted peppers are there, but they are subtle. Not front flavors at all. And it’s very festive-looking. Continue reading
