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…
Indian Style Wok Cooked Shrimp Curry (Kadhai Jhinga)
I hope I translated the name of this dish accurately! It is from a pretty intimidating cookbook that John got me, called Prashad-Cooking with Indian Masters, by J Inder Singh Kalra, who is (was?) an Indian food writer. First published in 1986, the book is intended for an international audience, but either because it is…
Kefta Tagine Bil Beid (Moroccan Meatball Tagine With Tomato & Eggs)
I was so excited to eat this meal that I forgot to take pictures before serving it. So picture an entire round skillet with more meatballs and eggs! This recipe is from a cookbook I got for Christmas from my parents, Food of Morocco, a gift which turned out to be auspicious, because I have…
African Peanut Chicken Stew
African Peanut Chicken Stew is a delicious and comforting one pot meal that is easily made year round with canned tomatoes. I loved this dish so much that I have made it several times, and in February 2016 I updated the photographs, although I left one of the originals for posterity’s sake. Happy New Year!…
Hunter Chicken Stew
It’s that time of year again, when packages of canned tomatoes start showing up at my door. I love my job as a blogger! This year I actually got packages from 2 companies, Muir Glen and Red Gold. I am excited to try the Red Gold, a regional canned tomato company, but I started with…
Argentinean Inspired Chili with Peaches
Have you ever noticed how often in cooking a great idea is the addition of 1 or 2 simple yet unexpected ingredients? In this case it was balsamic vinegar and peaches, 2 ingredients which made this “chili” vibrant and delicious. The kids were drinking their bowls and John sighed happily and repeatedly while he ate…
Pastitsio
Pastitsio is Greek comfort food–a cheesy, meaty pasta casserole redolent of cinnamon and oregano. I have lightened it a bit by using cauliflower and mushrooms (or zucchini!) in place of some of the pasta! The entire family adores this one! What do you do in the middle of the night when you cannot sleep? I…
Gobi Taka Tak (Cauliflower Sauteed with Peppers, Tomato & Yogurt) Served Over A Lentil Pilaf
Gobi Taka Tak, or Indian Sautéed Cauliflower with Peppers, Tomatoes and Yogurt is an easy, fast and delicious vegetable side dish for any curry, pilaf or main meat! This dish has proved to be a keeper, as I have made it many times since it was originally featured on this post. In November 2015 I…
JambaKinda: Simplified Weeknight Jambalaya
Jambakinda is my simplified weeknight jambalaya, not strictly authentic but definitely strictly delicious–and super easy! Jambakinda… too cheesy? Yes? Well, at any rate I would like to make clear that this is no way is supposed to be a real jambalaya–but it is supposed to emulate the flavors and textures of one. And I actually…
