Frankly, most Spaniards drizzle a little really good olive oil and a few drops of vinegar over their greens, and call it a day. They probably wouldn’t use this. But, I’m not a Spaniard and these are all flavors they tend to use, so there you have it. Anyway, it’s good! Continue reading

This General Tso’s chicken is different, not the usual take-out variety. First, the chicken isn’t diced, but left in pieces and then roasted. Secondly, this really combines General Tso’s sauce with some orange zest and juice, creating the best of both worlds, General Tso’s and Orange chicken. Both of The Goddess’s favorites, rolled into one lovely dish. Continue reading

I’ve been meaning to make pide (in case you’re wondering, it’s pronounced “PEE-day”) for quite some time. This is street food, at its very best. And this dough? It is positively fabulous and wonderful to work with. I’ve given you a couple of filling options, and then some! Continue reading

This is a great dough to work with and the fillings are really limitless. Mount Pelion, which took its name from the mythical king Peleus, father of Achilles, is considered one of the most beautiful mountains in Greece. The local cuisine specializes in charcuterie, and a hearty stew called, spentzofáï. These little breads resemble a Mount, and would be a perfect accompaniment to either the charcuterie or a stew.

I love salad dressing…period. It doesn’t matter if it’s creamy or a vinaigrette. I just love it. And I like to have a little salad with my dressing. Or to put it another way, I like to have a bowl of really delicious calories! Now, having said that, this is worth every…single…calorie! 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

This is a nice little change of pace from Not-Quite-Classic Creamy Coleslaw. But, I think you’ll find this to be a surprisingly delicious change of pace. A change of pace is good…. 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

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
