Fennel and fish are terrific together. The sweetness that develops when you sauté fennel is a beautiful thing. And it just works so well with fish…this one is a corvina fillet. The Goddess just had to add a bit of orange zest; you know how she is. Continue reading

This is a chunky soup. It’s full of good vegetables and morsels of meat and like all good soups, it’s adaptable. Use what you have on hand, but today’s version worked out so well, The Goddess, being the benevolent deity that she is, decided to share, because the weather could turn at any moment!

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

We had leftover Pork with Salsa Verde, “Almost”. You may remember Plan B? That’s right, it’s leftovers, again! It turns out The Latin Lover loved this more than the original, so The Goddess will go directly to leftovers. Hmmmm, leftovers from scratch. Now there’s a concept! Continue reading

As you can see, there isn’t too much that’s green about this sauce, except the cilantro in the “red onion salsa”. There was a plan, but then I browned the meat, and it left behind a great fond, so what’s a Goddess to do? She goes to plan B, of course. And this is Plan B…Pork with Sweet Potatoes and Green Chiles!

Last year I shared my recipe for one of The Spicy Honey’s favorite dish, Boliche, the Cuban version of pot roast, with cubes of good things stuffed in the middle of it. This isn’t that. Boliche is wonderfully tasty; it is using the eye of the round. But, I have a chuck roast. So why, The Goddess asked herself, not make pot roast, using the same ingredients, just not stuffed into the hunk of meat? Continue reading

When The Progeny return from their far-flung places, The Goddess likes to try to prepare the foods they feel are special. The Eldest One arrives tomorrow, and I must say, tapioca pudding is high on his list of favorites… 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

KayJay, the love of The Eldest One’s life, is a treasure. And on top of that, she makes some of the best salads you will ever care to eat. They are works of art, I tell ‘ya, and this one is no different. The salad is excellent, but the Dijon-Tarragon Vinaigrette is spectacularly good. Continue reading

This is The Goddess’s first posting from rainy South Florida, and what better meal than red snapper and shrimp with a great sauce? (Did I mention, it’s all about the sauce? I did…oh, okay!) I had forgotten how often it rains here, but that did not dampen our dinner, the first one together in our little furnished apartment…it’s like we’re newlyweds again! Continue reading
