The Tuscans have their Ribollita. The Galicians have their Caldo Gallego. The Lisbonites have their Caldo Verde. And we, have this “Souppa”. Most cultures have some similar soup, a simple, nutritious, inexpensive and delicious soup or stew, using what’s on hand. This is peasant food, at its very best. Continue reading

Yesterday The Goddess very pointedly told you not to use oily fish for ceviche. Clearly, she’s not to be trusted. Because today, here she is, using tuna in ceviche. So, it turns out that tuna (and I have used salmon—horrors!) is really quite lovely in ceviche. Continue reading

With the heat of summer around the corner, and sort of already here in South Florida, (though it is raining today) I decided it was time to make ceviche. Ceviche is probably the quintessential summer (read “hot weather”) dish. But, the thing is, it is barely springtime, so I thought some spring fruit might be a nice addition. Maybe even some diced sugar snap peas or asparagus…. Continue reading

This is a fun little breakfast or supper dish. I got this from the folks over at Serious Eats. Those people are geniuses. This is a slightly different way of folding the crêpe than we normally see. But, delicious these are. Continue reading

This is a savory option for our crêpes. It’s pretty much a chicken enchilada, but with crêpes, duh. The sauce is lovely and loaded with flavor. Even though it has heavy cream, using broth lightens the sauce. Continue reading

It’s almost strawberry season. I’m impatient. So, I purchase supermarket strawberries, just to get myself in the mood. They are almost always a disappointment, but oddly enough, even those work reasonably well with this lovely springtime dessert. Continue reading

Crêpes are wonderfully flexible, but not eaten nearly enough. They seem to have become passé. They’re no longer as exotic or sexy, as they once were. And, it’s a damn shame, I tell you. So let’s bring them back. Continue reading

Chimichurri is a great sauce for both steak and seafood. Actually, this version, would make a chunk of wood palatable! It’s pretty decent on almost anything, like potatoes (either sweet or regular), roasted parsnips, carrots or cauliflower…like I said, almost anything. Continue reading

This is a nice mélange of vegetables. And it is the perfect choice to serve with Meatloaf Romana. The flavors played off of each other very nicely. And not only is this a colorful mixture, it has a wonderfully rich flavor. Continue reading

I forget about meatloaf and I don’t know why. We love it. It’s goes together quickly. It practically bakes itself and damn, it’s just so delicious. And best of all, it makes great sandwiches. I’ve already given you Roadhouse Meatloaf, but you should have this one, too. Continue reading
