When the weather cools…okay becomes damn cold, there’s nothing quite like a bowl of soup or chowder. This is a simple combination of leeks, salmon, fennel and three kinds of potatoes. Chowder, without heaps of freshly ground black pepper, just doesn’t cut it on The Goddess’s table…. Continue reading

Salmon, leeks and lemon are a lovely combination. I was going to make a cream-based sauce, but that just seemed too rich. I thought it would “muddy” the clean flavor of the salmon. This was light, very flavorful and rich enough. What more could a Goddess want? Continue reading

Slow-roasting salmon, is simple and allows for more margin of error. In other words, it’s much harder to overcook salmon (or any fish, for that matter). But, it really about the texture. The texture of slow-roasted salmon is silky and unctuous. It’s sexy salmon! You’re going to like this. Continue reading

Coffee is essential to the life-blood of The Goddess. If she doesn’t have a cup in her hand, she’s thinking about getting one. Coffee adds a wonderful richness to foods. And well, it just tastes so damn good. Continue reading

I’ve been thinking about Greek flavors recently. Who knows why? Maybe it’s the warm weather. Those flavors—oregano, lemon, garlic, just seem so say, “Summer is here”. And salmon is the perfect foil for these flavors. Continue reading

This is a terrific lunch or first course. I serve it as is, or smeared on crackers or toasts. It’s delicious, light, and has a lovely texture; sort of silky on the tongue. If you like sushi, you’ll love this mixture. Continue reading

Summer rolls are an absolute favorite of The Goddess and her peeps. They are the perfect summer dinner on a scorching hot day, but really I can eat these any day, any time, any season. The most difficult part is rolling them, and after about 2 or 3, you get the hang of it pretty quickly. They are fast to prepare, can be made ahead, and are delicious. The kind of thing you can whip up (or roll up) after work, in a flash. Continue reading

I love salmon. It’s pretty and pink-ish, it can take some bold flavors and it’s so quick to fix. This is an easy, mid-week dinner. It’s best if the salmon is seasoned ahead; you get a better, more robust flavor. Salmon is easy and this version is pan-fried, but you can grill it, if you prefer. We’re using our coffee rub here…it plays to the savory side of the salmon, but because of the frozen orange juice concentrate and the dulce de leche drizzle, there is balance. Balance is good.

Coffee is like a good lover; it satisfies your needs, warms you when it’s cold outside and is there any time of day. But, coffee doesn’t always belong in a cup, to give you a jolt in the morning or to end a perfect meal. Coffee, mixed with a few spices, makes a rockin’ good dry rub. Continue reading
