| Rockin’ The Mexican Stove - Part One |
| 2008-06-01 20:08:39 |
I just returned from a two week trip to Mexico with David, where we visited Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Mérida and Progreso, and I have to say, it was amazing! The people were so kind and gracious, offering their hospitality as if we were family. And the food…well, the food is why I went [...]...

| Zesty Escabeche Soy Cutlets |
| 2008-04-20 14:27:48 |
I am going to start this off by saying that I have been seduced by this dish. No. ‘Seduced’ is not strong enough a word. More like ‘captured’ by the combination of flavors. The zest of the vinegar, the sweetness of those browned onions, the fragrant allspice. It’s all there. In one tantalizing bite after [...]...

| How To Compost and Save The Planet |

When I was growing up, I remember my mom would always make the comment that a little dirt was good for you. She would usually say this when something would hit the floor for a few seconds, say a hot dog in the backyard or when my brother would put some dirt in between my [...]...

About a month ago, I was sitting at the table eating my breakfast with David. He was reading the paper when he saw that a new restaurant had opened in the downtown Durham area. For those that aren’t familiar with Durham, NC let me explain that we are going through a rebirth. The downtown area [...]...

| An Easy Trip to India…Muttar Tofu |
| 2008-04-01 13:23:09 |
Whenever I make this dish, I go between feeling like I’m cheating , yet happy that it’s so easy to make. The reason, you might ask, is because I use an already pre-made spice paste. I first found these jarred spice mixtures in my local Indian market, so, I thought that if they were [...]...

| Soy Sour Cream |
| 2008-03-30 18:05:32 |
The wonderful thing about this vegan version of sour cream is that it’s so versatile. It can be used just like the dairy version, used to thicken sauces, as a base for dips or piled on top your favorite taco. Best of all, there is no fear of it “breaking” as it’s dairy cousin [...]...

| Buying Organic Eggs for Easter?…Then What About The Dye? |
| 2008-03-18 19:35:48 |
Well friends, here we are at the doorstep of Spring when colorful eggs lay hidden in yards and children run about like little freaks searching them out.
So I ask…you spend the extra cash to buy organic eggs, so why not dye them organically?
Back in the olden days of Persia, people would give each other [...]...

| Chips & Dip…Yucatan Style. |
| 2008-03-07 12:57:06 |
I love pumpkin seeds, especially ones that are already shelled, bagged and ready to eat! What could only make them better would be to take those earthy, buttery flavored seeds, toast them, grind them into a paste, then add spices and tomatoes to make a dip…a nutty salsa, if you will.
What you get [...]...

| Inside A TV Shoot In My Kitchen |
| 2008-03-02 17:36:42 |
So, people on my street wonder what the heck is going on at my house every month when they see a news truck parked in my driveway. “No,” I say to them, “you won’t be seeing me on COPS or Americas Most Wanted or anything like that.” I tell them that I cook on [...]...

Smoked Paprika Tempeh Tacos w/ Roasted Corn Salsa
