Okay. Right off I want you to know that The Goddess is misleading you. Yup. She’s leading you down the culinary garden path. She broiled the corn; she has no grill. And creamy? There is no cream, either. But, I’m here to tell you. This is truly delicious! Continue reading

With flu season upon us with a vengeance, I thought this was a good time of year to make a brothy, vegetable soup. There are a few beans tossed in, but they were more of an afterthought. This soup is all about vegetables, is slightly salty and will warm you to your bones. 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…. Continue reading

It’s always good to eradicate a bad childhood food memory and create a new, all-gown-up food memory! I think this soup may have done it! Continue reading

When the weather cools…okay becomes damn cold, there’s nothing quite like a bowl of soup or chowder. This is a simple combination of leeks, salmon, fennel and three kinds of potatoes.

Salmon, 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
