Back in the day when “cracker” was something you ate with soup or put cheese or peanut butter on, my mother used to make this salad.  I had completely forgotten about it.  Of course, there was no recipe that she left behind.  I was dicing a tomato and some scallions, and the memory of it came flooding back.  Thank goodness for food memories.

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 →

Braised Beef with Orange and FigsI’ve been reading this really interesting cookbook, ****************.   Actually, it’s less of a cookbook, though they have some wonderful recipes, and more of a reference work.  At least for me it is.  The authors are a chef and a specialist in scents.  What a combination, right?  Continue reading →

Vegetable Soup with Italian FlavorsWith 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 →

This rice is along the line of the everyday rice many Mexican cooks prepare.  And it’s good.  It’s really delicious.  But, it’s so much more, because once you capture the basic, there are so many, many different flavor roads to travel down.  Think of this as just the beginning of your culinary journey.  Continue reading →
