We traveled from Spain to Morocco a couple of years ago and I fell in love with the rich flavors and exotic spices used in cooking traditional Moroccan food. I’ve tried a few different recipes and even made up my own, but this recipe for Moroccan Lamb Tagine from allrecipes.com is one of the best Tagines […]
I read the Wall Street Journal every weekend and there’s always an amazing recipe just calling my name. Ed chose this one, and we decided I had to make it today. The perfect Sunday supper. Grilled Shrimp with Watermelon, Basil, Corn and Burrata. This recipe is from Chef Joseph Lenn at The Barn at […]
Got home at 5:45 which is late for me. [spoiled] I had taken out 3 beautiful boneless, skinless chicken breasts with no plan of what to do with them. So in my typical fashion, I scavenged through the fridge to see what I could create, and I found the Harissa, a traditional Moroccan red pepper […]
My sister Sandy lives near Orlando and is a wonderful cook. She made this beautiful antipasto for her guests tonight. We’re ready when you are Bobby Flay.
Dear Mr. Bobby Flay: This is our submission for your new show, Bobby’s Best Home Cook. My sister and I will be submitting from Dallas – well…really Fort Worth, but it’s all just one big place anyway – Dallas, of course, being a small suburb of Fort Worth…(wink, wink) We decided to send our submission […]
This was dinner tonight, along with a green salad with old fashioned oil & balsamic vinegar dressing. I didn’t have the Gorgonzola, so I substituted Goat Cheese. It was equally delicious I’m sure. And I used store-bought pizza dough in the canister, cooked it on my pizza stone, and it was out of this world. […]

Just had a very nice and unexpected email exchange with my new friend Richard. We were sharing culinary tidbits and places we’d both been. Seems his son used to work in Old Saybrook, CT, which is near Mystic and The Blue Squid, that I mentioned in an earlier post. Our conversation led to comments about […]
I forgot to defrost the scallops for the scallop and asparagus risotto, so I had to create something new. Went into the fridge and found stuffed picillo peppers and some spanish chorizo sausage and this recipe was born. Gotta tell ya, it was really flavorful – spicy and peppery but not too much, and very […]
Tonight’s dinner – Truffle Mac ‘n Cheese with Grilled Chicken & Apple Sausage. Just made Mac n cheese with bow tie pasta I had on hand. Blended fontina and gruyere cheeses into a standard cream sauce, but seasoned with Truffle Salt instead of plain sea salt. I always use chicken and apple sausage from central […]
