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.

Egg Roll SoupI was thinking of Chinese food.  Truth be told, I’m usually thinking about food, and many times it leans Chinese.  I love egg rolls or spring rolls.  I was thinking about egg rolls.  Dreaming, really.  So with the winter chill, I was thinking about tossing together a soup of some sort.  And with the Asian New Year around the corner, light bulb moment!!!  Why not combine the two?  Continue reading →

A Pair of Celery Salads

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Gluten Free, Salads

≈ 1 Comment

Tags

avocado, Celery, lemon juice, pineapple, red pepper flakes, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds

Asian-Flavored Celery SaladCelery is an underrated vegetable.  We haul it out when we diet and when we have Buffalo wings (who knew buffalo could fly!) or we make soup, but otherwise it tends to languish in the crisper drawer, until you’re pulling out a bag of slime and looking for the garbage can.  This has happened to you and you know it.  No more, I tell you.  Celery is a great vegetable, not to be ignored.  It can be a star and salads are a great place to start.  Continue reading →
