The Spicy Honey loves Jamaican patties. They’re spicy (like him!) and just a quick, full-flavored bite, that’s perfect for lunch or a snack or dinner or breakfast. In other words, good any time, any place. Continue reading

Brussels Sprout and Fennel Chowder. Hmmmm. Intriguing, no? There’s cabbage soup, so why not Brussels sprouts, in liquid form. Well, folks, it works and it works well. This soup is vegetarian, even vegan, if you omit the cheese (but why would you?). It’s filling, without being heavy. And most importantly, it just tastes really, really delicious. Continue reading

I saw this on a Facebook page I follow. It looked so delicious and we haven’t had chicken. My version is based on a Jamie Oliver recipe, but I roamed pretty freely from his version. You know, The Goddess is a born culinary wanderer. Continue reading

It’s that time of year…the beginning of soup season. Or autumn to normal people. And as it happens, it’s also apple season. See the connection I made there? Nothing gets by The Goddess. This seemed like a marriage made in heaven. And it is! Continue reading

This is so simple. And delicious. It makes a lovely first course or an evening meal with some Spicy Peanut Noodles, Creamy Peanut Rice Noodles or some Cuban Ham Dip. It’s light, tasty and goes together quickly. It’s a perfect summer, mid-week meal. Continue reading

Okay. Right off I want you to know that The Goddess is misleading you. Yup. She’s leading you down the culinary garden path. She broiled the corn; she has no grill. And creamy? There is no cream, either. But, I’m here to tell you. This is truly delicious! Continue reading

This is a marriage made in heaven! Inspiration is a funny thing…it can come out of nowhere. It can be overheard. It can sneak up on you. Or is can simply be the unfolding of something unexplained…that’s sort what happened here. Continue reading

Spicy Peanut Noodles are great for summer, though the ingredients transcend seasons. They can be a side dish or the main course, depending on what you add. These are so much more than just noodles and I always serve them when we celebrate the Asian New Year. Continue reading

I think I’ve mentioned a couple of times (or twenty), that The Goddess has a fondness for eggplant. The season is in full swing now, so you might imagine that eggplant is finding it’s way into, onto, around, under, etc. her table. She’s been hasselbacking things recently, and why should eggplant escape her vision? Continue reading
