September 30, 2008 By Laura 6 Comments

I meant to participate in Zlamushka’s Tried and Tasted last month, but with the surgery it just never happened. This month I am sliding in at the last moment with a recipe from this month’s T&T blog, Monsoon Spice. Speaking of being busy, before I proceed with the recipe and post, let me share a…

Taste & Create: Aparna’s Manipuri Khichdi

July 24, 2008 By Laura 4 Comments

So I am sliding in at the end of the Taste & Create deadline–which really bugs me and I am sorry I took so long. Basically I had chosen this yogurt chickpea dish to make a week or so ago, and when I realized I got paired with Aparna, of My Diverse Kitchen (who is…

A Garden In A Bowl: West African Peanut Stew with Chicken, Spinach & Sweet Potatoes

May 14, 2008 By Laura 8 Comments

Sooksan Wan Gerd!: A Thai Birthday Feast with Tish’s Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cloud Pie for Dessert

February 24, 2008 By Laura 7 Comments

John’s favorite cuisine is Thai. He never gets sick of it. I sometimes need a break from what we think of as the entrée dishes, although I rarely tire of the salads. Despite the fact that at the end of the day Mexican is my favorite cuisine, the one that I never get tired of,…

Weeknight Wild Game Jambalaya

January 27, 2008 By Laura 1 Comment

The men in my family have always been hunters.I can remember back in high school and college having to defend hunting to a lot of meat-eating people, but nowadays people seem to understand that when done correctly (i.e., soberly and eating what you kill), hunting is actually a quite responsible, humane way of putting meat…

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…
