garlic granules, heavy cream, lime juice, lime zest, mulling spice, Papaya, Scallions, tomato paste

PapayaSeptember is National Papaya Month.  I just found this out, but you all probably knew that.  Who decides this sort of thing, I wonder?  Well, if we’re going to honor the papaya, then let’s see what we can do with this lovely, velvety, rich fruit other than eat it for breakfast.  Savory.  That’s what I was looking for.  And this sauce is savory, rich, subtly sweet and has a wonderful texture.  Continue reading →

apricots, chile flakes, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, ginger, lime juice, onion, pineapple, salt, Spices, sugar, tomato paste

Tomato Jam with Pineapple and ApricotsAfter I made the Tomato Jam the other day, I got to thinking.  You would think this is a good thing and for others, I highly recommend it.  But, for The Goddess, it usually means she’s about to get into trouble.  This turned out to be good trouble.  Continue reading →

Pasta with Creamy Corn, Tomato and HerbsI do love to read The New York Times (NYT).  And don’t get me started on their Sunday crossword.  The Eldest Progeny and I tend to share that joy whenever he’s around, but every other Sunday, it’s mine.  All mine.  Continue reading →

cucumber, feta cheese, fresh herbs, Garlic, Greek yogurt, radishes, Spices

TzatzikiTzatziki (zat-ZEE-key) is truly summer.  Oh yeah, it’s good all year long, but it runs screaming through summer.  It’s nasty hot, isn’t it?  So it’s time to think about cool  things, like this sauce.  This is great sauce to serve with Greek Salmon. Continue reading →

balsamic vinegar, citrus zest, crostini, fruit, herbs, honey, ricotta

Crostini with Ricotta and Nectarines (or Fruit!)This is probably the perfect summer appetizer.  Okay, so it’s really good anytime of the year.  But, just in case you’ve been living in a cage, it’s officially summer, so we’re going to be making these lovelies.  We’re going to be making these a lot.  So you’re on notice.   Continue reading →

brown sugar, dried onions, mayonnaise, sesame oil, soy sauce, Spices, vinegar

Teriyaki Burger SauceBurgers….MMMMM!  The Goddess loves her burgers.  You can keep filet mignon (except for the Bordelaise sauce) or NY strip (except for the béarnaise sauce—I’m seeing a theme here!), but don’t take away her burgers.  She bites the hand that does that.  But, this is about the sauce.  Just as it should be.

chiles, cucumber, Garlic, gluten free, honey, rice wine vinegar, salt, sesame oil, Sichuan pepper

Sichuan Cucumber SaladThis is a nice little salad to have in your repertoire.  It is the perfect summer salad, but joy of joys, since good cucumbers, a.k.a. English cucumbers are available year round, it’s a non-seasonal salad or side.  It packs a nice kick of heat and garlic…Vampires beware!  Continue reading →

Baby Potatoes, cilantro, Spices

Spicy Sichuan Roasted PotatoesWe ate at “Shu” in West Hartford, CT last week.  It was mind-blowingly delicious and nary a fortune cookie in sight.  This is real Sichuan cooking.  No gloppy sauces, just complex flavors and heat.  They like to use a good amount of chiles and Sichuan (Szechuan or Szechwan) peppercorns, which works for me!  Continue reading →
