I am always so impressed by blogs that are devoted to one thing. Baking, bread, curries, sandwiches, etc. It is my understanding from speaking to a publicist that this kind of blog is more likely to be chosen to write a cookbook, as it has a niche, but I am boggled by these writers’ ability…
Curried Beef in Yogurt and Toasted Spices
This post has been a loooong time coming. To start with, I made this curry what feels like eons ago, in August. And then there is the fact that I spent the last week flat on by back, having been whacked by the virus from hell.
Bobotie (South African Curried Beef Casserole)
Have you ever found a cookbook that nobody has ever heard of by an author no one has ever heard of and it turns out to be one of your most reliable, successful cookbooks? I’ve written about this book before, but I just have to reiterate it again: David Ricketts’ Home Cooking Around The World…
Cincinnati Chili
2 years before starting this blog, I began keeping a journal of the food I made. I included brief recipes written in shorthand along with sources for the recipes and our impressions. Basically I was working my way up to being brave enough to start this blog.
Steak Fajitas

Argentinean Inspired Chili with Peaches
Have you ever noticed how often in cooking a great idea is the addition of 1 or 2 simple yet unexpected ingredients? In this case it was balsamic vinegar and peaches, 2 ingredients which made this “chili” vibrant and delicious. The kids were drinking their bowls and John sighed happily and repeatedly while he ate…
Comfort Kheema
First, some housekeeping: last winter I was contacted by a representative from Meijer about trying some of their products. Meijer at the time was my favorite local grocery store–ever since the Kroger’s has been renovated, I would call Meijer the most economical and the best one stop shopping, but the renovated Kroger’s outshines it some…
Thai Stir Fried Chopped Beef With Basil
Thai basil might be one of the top 5 smells in the world for me. Spicier and mintier than Italian basil, with anise undertones, it is heady and intoxicating. It is crucial to the success of many red curries and takes on a starring role in a family of stir fries. In Thailand, many of…
