Last fall we visited the Iberian peninsula. If you haven’t been to either Spain or Portugal, it should definitely be on your list, and soon. The food there is so delicious. The flavors so bright and un-muddy. This is what inspired this chicken. It took me back to Sevilla. Continue reading

This is an excellent Instant-Pot recipe. Brown it and cook it all in the same pot. To quote Ina Garten, “How easy is that?” And, it’s just so damn delicious, too! Continue reading

I had paid a visit to the local Penzey’s, where I encountered the lovely, well-informed and very interesting, Kristen. She recommended their Turkish Seasoning, and I’m so very glad she did…that was the impetus for these lovelies. Continue reading

The Goddess was out and about today in search of yarn. That’s right. She doesn’t live by cooking alone! Anyway, she was planning on have lunch at Torange. And sadness…they’ve closed. They were such lovely people and the food was wonderful. They were even nice enough to sell her sumac and barberry, which, if you aren’t familiar with either of these, you need to find them and start using them. So, in memory of Torange, she decided to make this chicken. Continue reading

Boneless chicken thighs are a natural for stuffing. The cheese-stuffed jalapeño is a perfect way to keep the cheese from oozing out of the thigh and giving the whole thing a nice little Zing!! A pan sauce, a Cuban tamale and dinner is served. Continue reading

This is true fusions cooking. Seriously. Citrus and plums? From Persia you have cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin and oranges…and then there are those plums. Oh wait…that’s also Indian, isn’t it? Hmmm…but just to confuse things further, there’s some Sichuan pepper, allspice and hot chilies in the mix, too. Continue reading

You realize that The Goddess thinks about food and food preparation all the time. It’s sort of an obsession. She’s not normal, I tell ya’. She’s always pondering about the “what if’s” and the “why for’s”, the culinary road less, or not at all traveled! Recently, Chinese food has been on her mind; she was thinking about Kung Pao Chicken. That’s what prompted this culinary adventure. Continue reading

Rosemary, ahh, I do love this herb. It has spiky, rather substantial leaves, a heady, strong, complex aroma and flavor. It’s great on lamb, pork, fish and game, rubbed into chicken or your Thanksgiving turkey or sprinkled over potatoes (or other root vegetables), that are then roasted to crispy perfection. There’s something wintry about this herb, though I use it all year-long and prime rib, wouldn’t be as good as it can be, without rosemary. Continue reading

As you may have heard, The Goddess loves citrus. Orange slice candies, you know those chewy, gelatinized candies in the shape of oranges sections; I tell ya’ they should be a food group…along with bacon. Not together, that would just be disgusting. But back to the subject at hand—Clementine or Orange Chicken. This is a relatively quick dish to prepare. I prefer to use fresh tangerine, Clementine or orange peel, instead of the usual dried tangerine peel. The chicken has a lovely carmelized quality and then the punch of orange and the Szechwan pepper. This will wake up your New Year’s celebration. Continue reading

The Goddess loves these Tuscan flavors. The Latin Lover thought this the perfect Valentine’s Day dinner for two…it’s coming up in a week, so I’m helping you plan ahead. This is good, simple peasant food. It is full-bodied and full-flavored, the perfect meal for an after-snow removal dinner, but delicious enough for lovers to share! Continue reading
