This Yogurt Mousse with Honey and Fresh Figs recipe balances a sweet and slightly tangy, airy mousse with fresh sweet figs. A while ago, a sweet friend me a copy of a book he thought I’d enjoy, called Mourad: New Moroccan by Mourad Lahlou. My friend knows me well because I swooned over this book the instant I opened it....
Broccoli-Cheddar Risotto & A Book Review
In my wildest dreams it never dawned on me that delicious dinners could be made with only five ingredients. Breakfast with five or less is easy with things like Greek yogurt topped with berries and a drizzle of honey, a bowl of oats with milk, fruit, and nuts, or a bagel with lox, cream cheese, red onion, and capers…even a veggie omelet for the most part probably has less than five ingredients, but I think dinner with five ingredients is pretty impressive. That’s why I was intrigued when I recently was offered a review copy of Robin Miller’s Robin Takes 5, which is a cookbook of 500 recipes with five […]...

Candied Grapefruit Peel — Christmas Brunch
Growing up, my family’s favorite cookbook was Betty Crocker’s Cookbook (my sister and I would get so excited when we saw my mom pull out that tattered red cookbook! We knew something delicious was not far away). Not just any Betty Crocker cookbook though, it was a 1981 edition, which of course is now considered vintage (funny how times change, isn’t it?). The thing about this cookbook is that it’s designed not only to hold recipes, but to actually teach the average modern day home cook how to cook....

Book Review & Recipe For Sardine Spread
Book Review: The Whole-Food Guide to Strong Bones: A Holistic Approach by Annemarie Colbin, Ph.D.: Recently I received a copy of this book to review. With its wonderful insight and knowledge regarding health and nutrition, this book had me hooked right from the beginning. The first paragraph of the Foreword is profoundly thought-provoking; it reads in part: Today we are faced with unprecedented challenges for the health of our bodies and of the planet. And the most powerful tool we have at our disposal to change our health, our environment, our politics, and our economics is our fork (emphasis added)…Putting six ounces of meat […]...

Giveaway, Book Review, & Mushroom & Thyme Flat Pies
Along with the ushering in of fall come so many lovely things…cooler days and nights provide a welcome relief from the heat of summer, the trees turn gorgeous shades of crimson, orange, and gold, and make for gorgeous afternoon drives through the country side, comfort foods abound, and I start to feel like the holidays are right around the corner! Another thing for me to look forward to about fall is that along with it comes my birthday. If you’re wondering how old I am, I’m older than some and younger than others…I think a lady should never have to reveal her age. ;) I […]...
