Impromptu Dinner Party Recipe: Crab Cakes with Spicy Remoulade

August 14, 2011

I am not an easy person to cook for. It isn’t because I am picky, because I have dietary restrictions or because I’m a food snob. It’s because when you’re cooking for me, my requirement is that I be able to put the recipe on my blog (assuming, of course, that said recipe will be [...]

If you’re like me and you can’t afford to travel to exotic foreign countries like Italy, Greece and Spain, you can do what I do: channel the culture in your own living room by preparing cuisine inspired from the country that you hope to someday visit.

Worknight Dinner Recipe: Fish Tacos

May 13, 2011

Two weeks ago I met my friend Laura for a casual dinner on a Saturday night. We met up without any clear idea of where we would go and a few minutes into our contemplation, Laura informed me that her birthday was Monday. She wanted margaritas. Who was I to argue with an impromptu birthday [...]

Salmon with Strawberry Salsa

April 2, 2011

I like salmon and I like strawberries but the two together are not a combination I would have conjured on my own. Creative and delicious, I simply would not have thought to create a fresh, delicious salsa with red, ripe strawberries and turn them in to a salmon dinner. That’s not to say I wouldn’t [...]

Kung Pao Shrimp [and a lesson about capsaicin]

March 31, 2011

Before we talk about the Kung Pao Shrimp recipe that I wrote for Craftzine, let’s talk about capsaicin. Capsaicin is the active ingredient in chili peppers.

Make This in 2010: Puff Pastry Rounds with Crab and Chives

December 22, 2010

I know what you’re doing today. And no, I’m not clairvoyant nor have I been stalking you. I just know that you’re staring into your refrigerator or freezer and your eyes are darting nervously, back and forth to your dining room, kitchen table or wherever you plan on doing your holiday entertaining. You’re thinking: I [...]

Too Hot to Cook: Shrimp Salad with Dill & Cucumber

September 5, 2010

If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound? If you cook without turning on the oven, does it count as cooking? Well, I’m going to go ahead and say yes, yes it does, because with the exception of a purple potato pizza here and a plum crumble there, my oven has [...]

Worknight Dinner Recipe: Shrimp, Kale and Avocado Quesadillas

March 22, 2010

Though kale somewhat resembles spinach, it’s actually a member of the cruciferous vegetable family, a distant relative to cabbage and Brussels sprouts. When I [...]
