Lamb Stewed With Oranges, Red Wine, Chickpeas & Potatoes

October 2, 2008 By Laura 7 Comments

The minute I saw this recipe, I knew I wanted to make it. There is something about fruit–almost any fruit–and meat that is really attractive to me, which is kind of odd because otherwise I am not much of a fruit person, lemons and limes excepted. And maybe blueberries. But stick it with some salty…

Laura’s Mistaken Mulligatawny

September 18, 2008 By Laura 4 Comments

Mulligatawny is one of those recipes that is everywhere–and no 2 recipes look the same.

The Meal Before The Cupcakes: Thai Cucumber Salad & S.E. Asian Potato Salad

June 19, 2008 By Laura 2 Comments

So what did we serve at our birthday party? By Alex’s request, first and foremost, there was a lot of fruit: cantelope, watermelon, red and green grapes, and strawberries. I would have loved to have added blueberries, but I just think they taste so much better when they are local. What we did have was…

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…
