Seared Alaskan Cod With Green Gazpacho Sauce

April 12, 2010 By Laura 4 Comments

I was perusing back in my blog for some reason the other day–I forget why–when I came across Global Kitchen‘s Seared Mahi Mahi, featured in one of my early To Try Tuesdays (and yes I keep meaning to re-start them, but honestly it’s been a while since I have had a chance to leisurely peruse…

(Rustic) Provençal Lemon Cake With Lemon Curd & Whipped Cream

April 11, 2010 By Laura 17 Comments

I experienced some important baking lessons when making this cake–stuff I already knew and yet stuff that it was good to be reminded of. First, tiny changes really do make a difference in baking. I was forced to use the wrong size pan and wrong flour for this cake and poof! the cake sunk way…

Those of you who know me in real life know that I have (now inactive) epilepsy and that I had a (“benign,” haha) tumor removed from my temporal lobe some years back, in addition to various medical emergencies subsequent to the tumor and epilepsy.

April 6, 2010 By Laura 5 Comments

To think that 3 years ago this week the Cleveland Indians’ home opener was canceled for snow–as were the subsequent 3 games. Not this opening day– the Midwest is experiencing shockingly wonderful early April weather. The last week has seen more hot days than we had in all of July last year (I exaggerate but…

Haroset With Dijon Mustard On Hard Boiled Eggs Sprinkled With Sea Salt

April 5, 2010 By Laura 15 Comments

I am not a particularly religious person; nor do I stand on much ceremony. When religion and/or ceremony has been a part of my life, my 2 primary concerns have been that guests be made to feel welcome and that nothing be too long. I come from a family that is more comfortable telling a…

Shrimp & Scallops Tossed with Capellini, Spinach, Tomatoes & Bacon

April 2, 2010 By Laura 15 Comments

Affiliate links are used in this post to link to items I am discussing. A few years back my brother Chris went on one of his hunting trips in Louisiana and he brought back some books for my sister and me. I think he was late on our birthdays. At any rate, while I loved…

Hi! I’m Laura and I am a recovering history major who has re-channeled all of my passion for learning about the history of different countries to learning about their food culture. That doesn’t mean every dish on here is strictly authentic, but it does mean that even my adaptations are not undertaken lightly. My goal is to show you–by doing–that these dishes are possible in your kitchen. Including desserts because I have quite the sweet tooth! Read More…
