This is true fusions cooking. Seriously. Citrus and plums? From Persia you have cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin and oranges…and then there are those plums. Oh wait…that’s also Indian, isn’t it? Hmmm…but just to confuse things further, there’s some Sichuan pepper, allspice and hot chilies in the mix, too. Continue reading

This is perhaps one of The Goddess’s favorite recipes. She could live on this. Originally she marinated whole chickens, then she grilled them over indirect heat. It doesn’t get much better than that. Continue reading

First, let’s get something straight. The Goddess loves chicken salad. She’s never met one she didn’t like, except for that one with chocolate chips in it. It turns out that chocolate doesn’t make everything taste better! Continue reading

I just ran across a recipe for Chicken Mole Casserole on the Food & Wine website. And I do mean I “just” found it. It sounded great; I liked the idea of it. It just seemed like the perfect thing for dinner, so I made it, or rather my version of it. And it was on the table in 20 minutes! What a great weeknight or Friday-night-after-work-instead-of-pizza dinner! Continue reading

Almost every Sunday, when we lived in São Paulo, we would walk over to the bakery just down the hill from our apartment, and buy 2 chickens. Even today, I can almost smell the aroma wafting up from the bakery, more than 15 years later. They were a memory that was worth trying to recreate. Continue reading

I will tell you unabashedly, that I got the idea for this soup from the fantastic Marcus Samuelsson, chef/owner of The Red Rooster in Harlem. Watching him cook is like watching a flawless ballet performance, but with sharp knives and flames. He also happens to have spectacularly, nuanced taste buds. Continue reading

Cuban Chicken Pie is totally different from what we non-Cubans think of as chicken pie…there’s no cream, no carrots and celery and the crust is totally different, more cake-like, than short and flaky. This is for The Honorary Gal-Pal and did I mention that it’s delicioso? Continue reading

This is it! The chicken you won’t be able to stop eating. You may abandon supermarket-roasted chickens forever! The flavors are very similar to Lechon Asado from a much earlier post, but it’s the Honey-Lime Drizzle that will make you weak in knees. Continue reading

This is a lovely entrée for family or a dinner party. I’ve haven’t done this in years and decided it was thyme…er…time. The thigh-drumstick combo can be stuffed with a bread stuffing, but I’m using ground chicken with herbs and other good things. Continue reading

You realize that The Goddess thinks about food and food preparation all the time. It’s sort of an obsession. She’s not normal, I tell ya’. She’s always pondering about the “what if’s” and the “why for’s”, the culinary road less, or not at all traveled! Recently, Chinese food has been on her mind; she was thinking about Kung Pao Chicken. That’s what prompted this culinary adventure. Continue reading
