I mentioned a while back that I have joined Kitchen Play’s new program: Cookbook Tour. It is an innovation program aimed at both supporting food blogging cookbook authors and exploring the idea that food bloggers are crucial in promoting cookbooks through reviews and social media. You guys know how I feel about that–I’ve been reviewing…
Saffron Rice with Meatballs; Quick Spiced Potatoes and Cauliflower with Baby Shrimp: A Review of The Bengali Five Spice Chronicles
One of the big perks of blogging is being given cookbooks to review (I know you are shocked to hear me say that!). I try to only accept books that I would be interested in at least some of the dishes. You can imagine that I often get offered baking books that I am super…
Greens in Kheema
I’ve mentioned before that I am continually waging a war to get my entire family–myself included–to like cooked greens. There have been a few successes, but more thumbs down than up. Recently I got quite excited about a wonderful looking recipe using Christmas Lima beans and greens. John and I liked it ok, but the…
Uncle Chris’s “Fist Sized Meatballs”
In case you are wondering, Alex named the meatballs. She has a sense for the literal, my kid. I was leaning toward “Man Sized Meatballs.”
Tortilla and Cheddar Topped Beef, Bean and Bacon Casserole
Like many parents, I am always on the lookout for ways to help out at my kids’ school, without, well, doing things that I hate the idea of doing. For example, some parents don’t mind working with accounting, and they end up holding the position of treasurer in their PTG or PTO. Bless those people…

Given that many people think of vegetarian food when they think of India, it may surprise you to hear me say that I think ground beef (or any ground meat, your choice) reaches new heights in Indian cuisine. In my own personal repertoire of ground meat dishes, only chili comes close to as many exciting…
Sweet and Salty Beef and Farro Stew with Sweet Potatoes and Coconut Milk
As I sit here staring at a blank screen, I realize I have done it again. I have left writing about this recipe long enough that I do not remember all of my adjustments. On the one hand, I am frustrated. We loved this dish and would consider it a repeater. On the other hand,…
Ground Beef Tortilla Casserole Verde: Cooking on the Fly
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…
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…
