Last fall we visited the Iberian peninsula. If you haven’t been to either Spain or Portugal, it should definitely be on your list, and soon. The food there is so delicious. The flavors so bright and un-muddy. This is what inspired this chicken. It took me back to Sevilla. Continue reading

I had paid a visit to the local Penzey’s, where I encountered the lovely, well-informed and very interesting, Kristen. She recommended their Turkish Seasoning, and I’m so very glad she did…that was the impetus for these lovelies. Continue reading

Fans are so summery, aren’t they? And eggplant fans, well, what can I say? I can make an entire meal on eggplant alone. They’re so meaty, it picks up flavors like the little sponges that it is…and are, well, just delicious. It was a Marcus Samuelsson recipe that got me thinking about this. Continue reading

I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything recently, but my trusty laptop crashed. I couldn’t believe it, but such is life. So I have a new laptop and I’m up and running again, so I promise to make it up to you. And this recipe is the perfect way to begin. The mojito is a staple Cuban libation. This sauce is a keeper, even for those that think they aren’t crazy about mint. Continue reading

I know you’re groaning about now…oh, no! More citrus…at least this time it’s lemon. And this is using my favorite, Meyer lemons. The vanilla is surprisingly good in a vinaigrette. We don’t use vanilla enough in savory things. This will change all that! Continue reading

The texture of slow-roasted salmon is silky and unctuous. It’s sexy salmon! You’re going to like this. Continue reading

This was fantastic fried chicken. Not only does this taste fantastic, but you can use up leftover pickle juice. Yeah, I know. Most people simply pour it down the sink, but The Goddess hates waste, so this was the perfect solution. And it brings back a wonderful childhood memory…my mother’s fried chicken. Continue reading
