This condiment, Sambal Mahtah, is spectacularly delicious. It’s spicy, sweet, a little hot and just slightly crunchy. This came to my attention via Trader Joe’s™. They sell some amazingly delicious products, but they discontinued their Sambal Mahtah. Well, what’s a girl to do? She needs to come up with her own version. Continue reading

Every now and again, you happen on a dish that’s just perfect. This is that dish. It’s a positively delicious dish. It’s loaded with rich flavors and vivid colors.

As I mentioned in the recent Czech-German Sauerkraut post, I served these lovely breasts with the sauerkraut, instead of the more traditional pork. Turns out, to be rather tasty and I will make this for The Latin Lover, sans the sauerkraut. Continue reading

The Goddess is in apple pie mode these days. She likes to reduce apple cider to add to the apples to really give an apple-y blast! She’s very explosive, you know! This vinaigrette was born from that reduction. Continue reading
