Although I chose to call this “Lamb and Eggplant Casserole”, I’m not sure it really qualifies as a casserole, since it was neither cooked in the oven nor slowly, the way a good casserole should be. Rather,...
Today I give you a super quick and simple, yet unbelievably elegant and sophisticated looking side dish recipe. We’re talking Pan Seared Belgian Endives and Radicchio with a beautiful Maple Pecan and Bacon Crumble. Indeed, this dish...
A while ago, I read an article in a magazine that highlighted interesting flavor combinations, from the classic and well-known matches like Banana and Chocolate, to the notorious opposites that attract like magnets and work magically well when paired together,...
I’ve a confession to make. I hope you won’t think any less of me… but for the first time ever, I gave up on a challenge that I’d set up for myself: I decided...
Do you miss pasta or think there’s no way that you could ever live without it? Well I’ve got just the thing for you… Now that we’ve made a huge batch of Italian Sausage and...
It had been ages since I’d last made Spaghetti Sauce. After all, what good is spaghetti sauce when you don’t even eat spaghetti? But then I got this crazy craving for a dish that...
