For years, I didn’t eat lettuce. Nor would I touch cinnamon or cilantro. I still don’t eat bananas, yet all of these flavors are on our three year old’s top ten list. We can hardly get a lettuce from the store to the fridge without him asking for a leaf or two. I’m not sure how or when I started to eat lettuce, but I am pretty sure my wife’s [...]

I am a little obsessed with my brand new Falcon Enamel cookware. Everything I cook in this bake set has an authentic farm-to-table feel about it that can only come from cook ware made with love. As a tribute to Falcon, shipped from London to my home in America’s Mid-West, I decided to share a traditional British dish with you today, Shepard’s pie. Thanks to the kind people at Falcon, [...]

Daylight savings time is just one of the ways I know that spring is on it’s way. Seeing artichokes and healthy asparagus in the produce section is another, and the steady stream of guests that stay with us once the threat of snow has passed is really the telling tale. I love this time of year and I love it when people come to stay. When my wife’s sorority sister [...]

The foodie community is vast. Not a week goes by without me adding another foodie to my google reader and swear to return to read each and every recipe. Sometimes, it will be weeks or months before I visit again, but I like the support and inspiration that fellow foodies feed me. Today’s recipe, Sweet Potato, Chick Pea and Spinach Curry comes from Cass of Food My Friend. More than [...]

I can get lost for hours browsing the shelves of book stores but unless I am flying alone or reading a bedtime story to our son, it’a rare that I get the chance to read, so when I find a cook book that comes to life and tells a story, as well as introducing my to a brand new world of culinary flair, I know that I have found a winning combination. [...]

I’ve been itching to cook with my ramekins ever since that little box arrived from Amazon a few months back. The chicken pot pies didn’t happen, neither did the apple pies, chocolate souffles or mac and (cashew) cheese bowels. I was starting to wonder if this impulse buy was ever going to see the inside of my oven. Tonight, when I got home from work I dozed off in front of the TV and [...]

As echoed by my WeightWatchers leader, Anne in response to my tamale pie, the benchmark of a good vegetarian (or in this case, vegan) dish is whether or not you would serve it to meat-eating guests. When I discovered The Vegan Slow Cooker by Kathy Hester, I read it cover to cover, and there is not a dish I would hesitate to serve to a starving carnivore. Not only is [...]

It’s true, I skipped a week, I’m sorry. In the midst of the preparing for our son’s second birthday I failed to blog last week. I have two wonderful guest posts lined up for you (including a long-promised Vegan Slow Cooker Giveaway) but after my hiatus, I raided the fridge last night to cook for you, and what a joy it was. In less than two hours I made strawberry [...]

Congratulations to Janet and Gina, winners of my Povitica giveaway! Thank you all for your entries! Next month I’ll be giving away a copy of The Vegan Slow Cooker. Oat Soup sounds strange to me and I can not take credit for this recipe, but while my mother visited a few months ago, we politely agreed to allow her to make this soup for dinner one night. I am glad [...]

The Jewish New Year, Rosh HaShana, has passed, and with it, the first of three multi-day eating marathons of the season been completed. You see, the Jewish New Year is not celebrated in the same way as one throws a party for New Years Eve, the two-day holiday is evenly split between praying in Synagogue, and dining with friends, family and members of the community.

The radish is a strange vegetable. Crunchy and bitter when raw, soft and sweet when baked. A great source of vitamin B6, and the one ingredient I am never sure of. For a long time, I have had a childish dislike for this miniature vegetable but recently we’ve started to see eye to eye.
