I mentioned in my last post that Sammy was a good sport about having a Moroccan inspired bundt cake for her birthday cake when my in laws were visiting. She and Alex are both always good sports about the birthday meals I prepare for them when my in laws are here. Because I love creating…
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…
Shrimp and Chicken Curry with Apples and Basil; Watermelon Sambhar
A lot of the furnishings in my home have been cobbled together from various hand me downs from family members. Recently, John and I decided that we needed a different approach to the girls’ bedrooms, so we made a trip to IKEA. While we were there, we also started thinking about my cookbook problem collection.
Bundh Gobhi, Palak aur Laal Aalu (Stir Fried Cabbage with Spinach and Baby Potatoes): Review of 1,000 Indian Recipes
As most of you know, I have a definite preference for one pot meals. I would not say I am incapable of multi-tasking, but when it comes to making dinner I like to avoid it when possible. Because we love homey, rustic cooking like stews, curries and casseroles, I am often able to convert my…
Aloo Chana Saag Chicken Curry
Indian curries are rapidly becoming my favorite go-to meal. In addition to their ease of preparation (as a one pot meal), healthiness, and general tastiness, they are also endlessly flexible and adaptable to the season. They can be lighter or heartier. They can be luscious with braised meat or vegetarian or even vegan (or anywhere…
Ohio-in-July Vegetable Soup, Indian Style
I try not to over-indulge in potatoes and sweet corn. They are both super starchy and they share a distinction–in my family at any rate–as rarely being the only starch on the plate (for example, if we have potatoes in a curry we often then want it on rice). And the sweetness of the…
Punjabi Rajma, Adapted (Indian Kidney Bean Stew)
I wonder what Indians in India think of those of us in America, who are so attracted to their cuisine when it is cold, blustery and snowy or rainy out? It is one of those great ironies of the culinary world (what? You didn’t know the culinary world could be ironic?), that those spices which…
Kheema with Cardamom and Curry Leaves
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…
Spice Crusted Beef Tenderloin: How to Slide a Non-Conventional Holiday Meal past Your Conventional Family
Spice Crusted Beef Tenderloin is the perfect way to jazz up a traditional holiday meal–or any formal dinner. And if you can afford beef tenderloin for an informal meal, more power to you! I updated the photos for the Spiced Crusted Beef Tenderloin in January 2017. Affiliate links have been used to link to items…
