Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Gulaschsuppe (German Goulash Soup) is a rich beef soup that’s spiced with paprika and seasoned with thyme, caraway, marjoram, onion, and garlic.
Ithaca, NY, which is located on the southern end of Cayuga Lake in New York’s Finger Lake region, is one of the quaintest little towns I know of.…
This Glazed King Oyster Mushroom recipe enhances the mushrooms’ umami savory flavor and balances it with sweet, salty, sour, and spicy ingredients. Don’t be intimidated if you’ve never cooked these mushrooms before; it’s as easy as slicing, marinating, and pan-searing them! Sometimes when I have a dish at a restaurant or during my travels, it resonates with me for a while. That was the case a couple years ago. I was visiting a friend in Chicago and we were eating dinner at a local restaurant in the suburbs....
This Borani Banjan recipe (Afghan Eggplant with Garlic Yogurt Sauce) is a richly spiced stewed eggplant dish that’s served with tangy garlicky yogurt on top. When I lived in the DC area, there was an Afghani restaurant about 5 minutes away that had the best eggplant. It was a simple side dish, often overlooked by the more popular sides like bread and rice....
This satisfying Chicken Panang Curry Recipe has a creamy coconut milk base and a delicately balanced flavor profile, and comes together in just 30 minutes! I am a curry lover of all kinds. The crazy thing is, I really don’t handle super spicy food very well! If I can handle this recipe, you definitely can....
This Chinese Garlic Green Beans Recipe is packed with sweet, salty, and savory flavor! The green beans are flash-fried so they’re slightly caramelized, crisp, and golden outside but soft and tender inside. This recipe has all the flavor of the classic take-out dish, but you get to control the amount of sugar and salt that goes in. Most people look at me like I have three heads when I tell them I don’t eat Chinese food....
Toum (Middle Eastern Garlic Sauce Recipe) is the perfect balance between light and fluffy + rich and creamy with tons of garlic flavor! You can use it as a dip for vegetables, flatbread, or grilled chicken, or as a condiment for just about any sandwich. The first time I had Toum was in Damascus, Syria and it was served for dipping along with Shish Tawook. The creamy lightness of Garlic Sauce is the perfect accompaniment to juicy marinated grilled chicken!...
This flavorful and juicy Jamaican Jerk Chicken Recipe is a great way to celebrate grilling season, but it’s equally delicious cooked in the oven year-round. This version is paleo, and with just 4g net carbs per serving it’s also low carb and keto! In the seemingly endless variety of ways to cook chicken, it’s fun to take a little global inspiration. With a complex blend of savory spices, a touch of heat, depth from soy sauce, and the freshness of lime, Jamaican Jerk Chicken is a hard dish to pass up....
This classic Beef Brisket recipe is slow cooked in the oven until it’s tender enough to fall apart. I also give easy instructions on how to make it in a slow cooker so you can prep it in the morning and come home to dinner. It makes a great Sunday supper and it’s kosher for Passover! I grew up with pot roast as part of our regular dinner rotation. It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s that I first had brisket!...
This Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe is loaded with nutrition and has all the flavor of Stuffed Cabbage Rolls, but comes together in just 30 minutes and has much fewer carbs! For the longest time, cabbage just wasn’t my thing. And to be honest, I think it was mostly because of the smell. Growing up, if coleslaw was a side option I’d opt for anything else....
This easy-to-make recipe for the Best Paleo Bread slices well and has great texture and flavor. Use it to make sandwiches or toast it for breakfast! I know the title of this bread sounds a bit presumptuous, but I promise I don’t mean it that way. I have to be honest…...
