On The Town: Berlin Eats

On August 16, 2011 · 4 Comments

My recent European jaunt included a 3-day stint in Berlin.  I went to Berlin knowing pretty much nothing about the city. Sure, I knew there was a wall that came down in the 90s and that they probably had some good sausage and beer but that was about it.  Before the [...]

Chorizo, Potato, and Mushroom Tacos

On May 24, 2011 · 2 Comments

Last month’s Charcutepalooza Challenge was all about making sausages (sans casings). I decided to make chorizo because I love to get my Mexican cooking on. Of course when I think of Mexican food I think of Rick Bayless so I turned to him for some inspiration.

I kind of [...]

Moosewood’s Potato Florentine Soup

On February 6, 2011 · 6 Comments

Soup is definitely key to my winter survival.  It’s generally easy to make, makes A LOT and warms me up from the inside out.  Plus soup is usually pretty inexpensive to make and is a good way to sneak in all sorts of veg.

One of my goals this winter is to [...]

My dear friend Shea posted this recipe for Oven Fries on her fabulous blog, Hungry in Brooklyn that I couldn’t resist trying.  I mean I love fries (I always have a bag of frozen ones in the freezer, guilty pleasure) and never feel like heating up oil to fry [...]

Irene’s Salmon Casserole

On November 30, 2009 · 3 Comments

A few months ago I was in Ikea and bought Ikea’s Real Swedish Food Book on my way out. I haven’t made a ton of stuff from the book yet but I’ve been meaning to.

In the book this salmon casserole looks pretty attractive.  It’s more the uniqueness of the dish that [...]

Julia Child’s Poulet en Cocotte Bonne Femme or Chicken with Bacon, Onions and Potatoes

On October 7, 2009 · 8 Comments

For the past maybe 5 or 6 years I’ve put Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking Vol. 1 on my Christmas wish list. For some reason no one has EVER bought it for me.  I was ordering books from Amazon a few weeks ago and decided to finally make my own [...]

Roasted Baby Potatoes with Capers and Rosemary

On December 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The other day I bought a few fillets of sole and wanted some a bit different as a side.  As I was pushing my shopping cart through Loblaws I came across a display of all sorts of baby potatoes.  Now, I don’t usually buy baby potatoes because they always seem like such a [...]

An Easter Feaster

On March 26, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Well somehow I managed to survive 40 days and 40 nights of being a vegan. Well, actually it was more than 40 days and 40 nights. For some reason during Lent you don’t count the Sundays between Ash Wednesday and Holy Saturday. But that’s getting too technical.

Being a vegan really wasn’t [...]

Curried Spinach and Pea Soup

On November 1, 2007 · Leave a Comment

The best part about the weather getting colder is the chance to eat soup for the next… 5 or 6 months. Sure you can eat soup in the summer, but that’s just a waste of fresh and wonderful produce.

I was browsing through the Moosewood cookbook and came [...]
