Quick Shrimp-Tomato and Herb SauceAn unknown, but clearly intelligent and resourceful person, once said, “necessity is the mother of invention”.  I think this is particularly true when it comes to the culinary world.  Many of what are now famous dishes, Spanish tortilla, Italian frittata, stir-fry’s, anything that’s a one-dish dinner, spring from necessity.  And, this is just such a recipe.  Continue reading →

This is a throw-back to my childhood.  On hot summer days (we didn’t have air-condition!), when my mother didn’t want to heat up the kitchen, she would make this in the morning, and put it in the fridge.  At dinner time, she would add it to chopped iceberg lettuce, along with thawed frozen peas.  It was so very good, at the end of a hot day.  Continue reading →

This is a “meal” soup.  I fixed this for a special someone who had just driven for about nine hours.  After that grueling ordeal, you don’t want something too heavy.  You want comfort food.  You don’t want to be stuffed, but you’re hungry.  This soup is the perfect solution for that dilemma.

Almost Marcella's Tomato Sauce with ButterMarcella Hazan was to Italian cuisine, what Julia Child was to American gastronomy.  They were both geniuses.  Both were practical, too.  They reveled in peasant food, and the clear flavors of simple ingredients.  This is based Marcella’s simple, tomato sauce…with a couple of small changes, of course!  Continue reading →

Salmon-Leek-Meyer Lemon SauceSalmon, leeks and lemon are a lovely combination.  I was going to make a cream-based sauce, but that just seemed too rich.  I thought it would “muddy” the clean flavor of the salmon.  This was light, very flavorful and rich enough.  What more could a Goddess want?  Continue reading →
