Sound pretty ordinary, doesn’t it? There’s nothing ordinary about this dish. It’s simplicity itself, with huge flavor. It’s a great dinner party dish, because it’s even better made ahead. Continue reading

We’re killing 2 birds with one recipe today! We’re looking at the technique of pan-roasting, which is a terrific way to prepare chicken and fish, but it works for most meats, too. Pan-roasting, to put it simply is browning the meat/fish in question in a large oven-proof pan, then sliding the pan into the oven and finishing the cooking there. And in this case, we’re going to be using the Goddess Herbes de Provence blend from the tarragon post. I love it when a plan somewhat comes together, don’t you? Continue reading

This is not-your-mother’s-chicken soup, but a Coq au Vin-ish type of soup; it’s rustic, earthy comfort food at it’s best and easiest. It takes about 30 minutes to make and with some minor changes, this can become a stew. How flexible is that? Continue reading

In my last posting, I mentioned using cinnamon in a savory manner. So here we are….
In centuries past, like a lot of spices, cinnamon was traded by the Arabs (remember the infamous spice route?). The Moors were in the Iberian peninsula for over 700 years, bringing with them many flavors and products previously unknown to that part of the world, cinnamon being one of them. Continue reading
