When I’m burnt out on all the summer pastas I keep tossing together, I try to mix it up with a farmer’s market salad. I truly mean a farmer’s market salad because every ingredient is straight from my Sunday pickin’s at the Marina Farmer’s Market.
This one includes unbelieveably sweet early girl tomatoes, fresh zipped corn, mixed [...]

Except for the occasional jaunt to Whole Foods, I’ve purchased almost all of my meat from my local butcher, Marina Meats, over the past few years. I trust all of the meat sources, the staff are super friendly and – best of all – it’s right around the corner from my apartment!
Last weekend, I picked up [...]

You could say this recipe was an accident. Originally, I tried roasting the peppers to make a salsa. But honestly, it was too hot for my taste so I added a dallop (or 3!) of sour cream to mellow it out. This made for a perfect chicken marinade; the sour cream kept the chicken moist [...]

Braising is one of the easiest techniques ever to deliver tender, juicy meat (or vegetables). And the best part is you can kick back on the couch while your dish [...]

Every other Wednesday, I walk home just a step quicker because I know there is a little gift waiting outside my front door. I lug the unassuming but familiar brown box into my kitchen and pull out all of the contents. Depending upon the season, I find vibrant Satsuma mandarins, tender Spring greens, just-pulled-out-of-the-dirt potatoes, [...]

Never underestimate the power of roasting a chicken. It requires a small ingredient list and minimal prep work, fills your home with wonderful smells, and provides leftovers galore (well for us it does, party of 2). The key to a moist, juicy bird is purchasing good quality meat. On my first visit to Chez [...]

Curry Chicken Salad

Curry powder is actually the combination of several spices, including turmeric, coriander, cumin, pepper, mustard and others depending upon the type. Given all these strong ingredients, it’s no wonder that I can feel my body temperature rising when I eat it! This recipe, however, helps soften the spice with the refreshing addition of chutney and [...]

Homemade BBQ Sauce

Post image for Homemade BBQ Sauce

Up until my culinary awakening, BBQ sauce came bottled from the grocery store. But thanks to Michael Pollan I took a peak at the label of my go-to sauce and learned that the main ingredients included high fructose corn syrup and modified corn starch. Determined not to ban this staple from my kitchen, I [...]
