Tuna and Apple Tartare with Fresh Wasabi and Apple Chips

November 22, 2010

The first time I really took an interest in wasabi I was 23 and in Tokyo for the first (and sadly to date only) time. My days mostly consisted of wandering around the city’s various interesting neighborhoods, snapping photos and observing. Most of my afternoons were filled with blind exploration, but I did do the [...]

Cheese Steak Egg Rolls

October 27, 2010

If you’ve read my blog for awhile then you may remember that a little over a year ago I confessed to being a hoarder.  I’ve moved up significantly in the square footage department since then – from exactly 642 square feet in Boston to roughly double in Chicago – but the problem still remains.  I’m [...]

Fromage Friday: Recipes for National Goat Cheese Month

August 6, 2010

Did you know that August is National Goat Cheese Month?  I sure didn’t and it’s practically my signature ingredient.  I guess it shouldn’t suprise me since it seems like there is a national day or month for EVERYTHING.  But since I do love goat cheese, I’m more than happy to celebrate by eating a little extra.

Plant. Water. Eat. Repeat. – Adventures in Urban Gardening & a Recipe Featuring Tomatoes

August 4, 2010

Meatless Monday: Eggplant and Goat Cheese Dip

August 2, 2010

How much should you miss a city you lived in for 8+ years?  It’s something I’ve been thinking about lately as today is my five month anniversary of leaving Boston and  living in Chicago.   Hard to believe it’s been that long since I announced on my birthday I was moving. And left behind the [...]

Ruby Sensation Potato Pancakes with Apple-Bacon Chutney

July 23, 2010

It’s amazing to me how many of my current favorite foods and beverages I didn’t discover until adulthood.  Before college I’d never eaten Pad Thai and hadn’t yet discovered my love of tofu.  And if you’d asked me on my First Communion I’d have told you I’d NEVER like wine.  Boy how times – and [...]

Easy Caramelized Onion & Blue Cheese Dip

July 20, 2010

I will admit that when it comes to cooking I have a penchant for the challenging and difficult. I welcome long ingredient lists, techniques that push me outside of my comfort zone and marathon bouts of preparation. But then occasionally there are recipes that remind me that food doesn’t have to be complicated to be [...]

Tempura Battered Zucchini Blossoms

July 14, 2010

If you’re anything like me you receive a fair number of e-mail chain letters from time to time, promising you everything from a stake in a Nigerian inheritance to a Best Buy gift card to undying love from the man of your dreams, all from forwarding an email to x number of people in your [...]

Gougeres with Honey

May 11, 2010

I think we all have those recipes we intend to make, but never get around to.  They hide in the back of recipe boxes, or in the Internet-age, our bookmark list.  We frequently overlook them in favor of whatever is dazzling us at the moment.  And then if we’re lucky, when the time is finally [...]
