I have a real fondness for fusion-esque twists on midwestern comfort food. Maybe it is my way of satisfying both my midwestern, traditional upbringing and my completely international adult palette. Or maybe I just like the unexpectedness of it. Truth be told, this particular dish is not shockingly unexpected to me given that I grew…
Lap Nuea Kai Nguang – but You Might Know It As Larb Gai
Guys! I have been holding out on you. I have made this dish, a family favorite, a billion times–but it is so easy and so fast that is often gets made on nights when I don’t have the time or inclination to take pictures. I have always loved ordering larb gai (sometimes spelled lap kai,…
Indian Inspired Braised Beef Curry
I am riding an insane high as I type this. Now if you hate basketball, college sports, or just plain sports, feel free to skip to the recipe (don’t skip that–it’s outstanding). I was the class of ’95 at the University of Michigan. For those of you not keeping track, that is the same class…
Turkish Ground Beef and Pasta: Review of Bruce Aidell’s Great Meat Cookbook
The Good Cook had one of their bundle sales recently. I am hopeless in the face of a good cookbook bundle sale. All it takes is at least 2 or 3 books that I know I want, and I start searching for other books that I think are worth checking out at such fantastic prices. This time,…
Tortilla Casserole with Braised Beef in Beer and Salsa Verde
Tortilla Casserole with Braised Beef in Beer and Salsa Verde tastes like it takes a lot more work than it does. Simple to make, especially if you have access to good salsa verde, it is a reliably delicious one pot meal. I have made it many times over the last fifteen (!) years, enough so…

Kozani Braised Beef with Grape Molasses
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!! I apologize for having dropped off the planet. I got strep throat and an ear infection for the second time in 2 weeks (both!!), and between that and last minute holiday stuff, the blog just took a backseat for a while.
Middle Eastern Scrambled Eggs with Meat and Onion: Review of An Edible Mosaic
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…
