I am pretty sure that I have mentioned before that every Christmas I make a big Indian meal for my in laws. Only some dishes ever make it on here, however, because, well, it is a holiday meal with guests, so food photography is the last thing on my mind. And I really like to make…

Mixed Fish Lentil Curry with Apple Pomegranate Relish
Belated Merry Christmas! I always think maybe I should leave a message here saying Merry Christmas on the actual day, but really who is looking at my blog on Christmas day (who wants to be told Merry Christmas anyway)? You guys are all celebrating with your families. I hope. Anyway I promised you this fish…
Potato Chip Oven Brittle
I swear I meant to have a savory dish for you today. And I even do have one, a very tasty fish curry. But I am currently in Columbus celebrating Christmas with my family, and I forgot to bring the recipe I adapted from. I have my notes about my myriad changes, but no recipe…

#Bundtamonth: Double Chocolate Glazed Peppermint Bundt Cake

Orange Marshmallows
Wow this late Thanksgiving threw me for a loop. Anyone else feeling like they have no time between now and Christmas? I nearly went into panicked overdrive when I got back from my in laws’ over Thanksgiving and realized I had not yet made or mailed my Leftovers Club treats. Or my bundt cake for…
Torta Paradiso (Italian Paradise Cake)
What a week! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving–I am kind of jealous of those of you who were also celebrating Hanukkah, as I think combining those 2 culinary traditions would have made for an awesome meal. I did not cook much, as I was at my in-laws and they declined all of my…
