black olives, feta cheese, herbs, olive oil, seasoning, zucchini
This is one of those quick little recipes that packs a wallop of flavor! It’s wonderful in summer, but even in the dead of winter, supermarket zucchini will take you back to the lazy days of summer. Serve it with Greek-Style Roasted Potatoes and a supermarket broasted chicken and you’re all set. Continue reading

This should probably be called a salsa. But then most people conjure up a flavor profile of tomatoes, onions, peppers, with maybe a bit of fruit tossed in. That’s not this…at all. I’m serving this with very simply prepared fish, but it’s all about the fruit mixture. I could seriously eat the whole bowl. Just standing there, leaning up against the cupboard…it’s that good. Continue reading

Aïoli is the quintessential sauce to serve with patatas bravas, the famous fried potato tapa. Actually, aïoli is the perfect sauce for anything fried. Okay. It may be the perfect sauce. Period. It offers you a completely flexible base for any number of wonderful options and is the absolute best dip for French fries. Or shrimp. Or chicken fingers…well, you get the idea! Continue reading

We had a lovely meal at the Peruvian restaurant, Para Dos, in Coral Gables. It was delicious, but the highlight was the Papas a la Huancaína. When I tell you this sauce is to die for, I’m not kidding. You’ll want to eat this by the bowlful, keeping it all for yourself. Continue reading

This is one of those salads that just goes together by itself. Okay, so you do have to cut things up, and stir things up, but otherwise, it’s stupid simple. This is good any time of the year, but when your garden patch is bursting with goodness, this is positively stellar. Continue reading

Fish curries don’t seem to be as popular as chicken, lamb or vegetable curries. It’s too bad, because fish curries are really good. This curry uses both fish and shrimp, which work very well together…friendly creatures of the sea, swimming together in a nice tomato-based curry sauce. Continue reading

This was a quick-fix if you happened to bring home some char siu pork or (Chinese BBQ pork) from the Asian market. And you really should do that. It’s good stuff and good to have on hand, if for no other reason than to make this wrap. It was deeeeeeeeeeelicious! Continue reading

I was reading The Wok of Life blog yesterday. Those gals (I think they’re women) have some unbelievable taste buds. They made this, but of course, The Goddess changed a few things around. Okay, she changed a lot. Either way, you’re gonna’ love this. Continue reading

Though The Goddess tends toward being heavy-handed with garnishes on curry, this chicken curry has a very subtle curry flavor. The flavors intermingle and literally “bounce” around your palate, but the “curry flavor” is a back flavor. And, this curry is fast enough for a mid-week family meal and tasty enough for company. Either way, it’s delicious. Continue reading

What? Has The Goddess been smoking herbs again? You might think that, but this came to be because she forgot to make pizza dough. And anyway, this is pretty much pizza, cooked in an oven-to-table pan, finished in the oven and served with good Italian bread to scoop up all that yumminess. So, it’s pizza, without a crust.
