Fish & Shrimp in Tomato Curry SauceFish 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 →

I don’t know about you, but The Latin Lover and The Goddess seem to like to begin their weekend with pizza.  Sure, we can get take-out.  It’s good.  Sometimes it’s even great pizza, but you can make your own and it isn’t that difficult.  Really.  It isn’t.  Continue reading →

Lentils with Onion, Bell Peppers, Garlic and HerbsLentils make a nice “bed” for some lovely roasted chicken.  Or a piece of grilled fish or pork chop.  Think lentils, instead of rice, pasta or potatoes.  And lentils offer some terrific vitamins and minerals, too.  Oh yes, did I mention they are also delicious?  Continue reading →

Garlic, herbs, lemon juice, olive oil, Spices, toasted almonds

I’ve been culling.  I get too many magazines, though I’ve cut back hugely, but now and again, a person has to cull.  So I was reading back issues of Fine Cooking, which I must say is the one magazine I find really difficulty to part with.  So, so many delicious recipes, not mention good, solid cooking information.  And lo and behold, I ran across Turkish Tarator Sauce.  Continue reading →

You know I adore eggplant.  I don’t think I’ve ever met an eggplant dish I didn’t love.  I’ve been thinking about stuffed eggplant, so I decided that today was the day.  I was heading down the vegetarian path, adding lentils to give us that meaty texture.  Then, I took another path….

Pizza “Fondue”

bell peppers, cheese, Garlic, herbs, Italian bread, Mushrooms, Onions, pepperoni, shredded cheese, tomato sauce

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.  Continue reading →

cilantro, Garlic, lime juice, milk, oil

As I may have mentioned a couple of times, The Goddess loves, loves, loves garlic.  Is there such a thing as too much garlic?  She thinks not.  If garlic isn’t your thing, you need to stop reading right now.  Go do something else and wait for the next post.  But, if garlic is your thing, then read on, my friend, read on.   Continue reading →

Onions, Apple and Mushroom Compote (for Pork)The mixture of onions, apples and mushrooms is a winning combination.  I love this combination with pork or roasted chicken.  This is particularly nice, because you can make it ahead and reheat it.  I think it’s even better reheated, making it perfect for company.  And, this compote positively screams autumn!  Continue reading →
