I really enjoy participating in the Daring Bakers because A) I get to try out recipes that I might not normally be drawn to and B) my skills as a home cook are challenged. Some challenges are easy for me, and others make me want to run and hide. I must admit that this month’s […]

Balsamic and Thyme Chickpea with Chorizo
Stephanie’s blog made me hungry. I made myself nuts by not having an precise recipe. A couple of divers made a website that helped me out. The result is lip-smackingly delicious — sweet, tart, acidic, smoky and all-around fabulous. Sop up all the extra balsamic and chorizo oil that finds its way to the bottom […]
Chickpea Ratatouille
From Dreena Burton’s Vive le Vegan! is a hearty, filling, economical and, most importantly, delicious chickpea ratatouille. If I were Cathy at Not Eating Out In New York I could even figure out the cost of the meal but I’m not, and I’m bad at math to boot. I adapted it slightly, using honey versus […]
So close, Michelle. And yet…
There’s an article in today’s New York Times about Michelle Obama’s vocal support of eating fresh, organic foods . “You know, we want to make sure our guests here [at Miriam’s Kitchen] and across the nation are eating nutritious items,” said Mrs. Obama, who served lunch to several homeless men and women and delivered eight […]
Pan de Sal
A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from Dorothy, a blog reader, asking me to test out a recipe for Pan de Sal. Pan de Sal is a traditional Filipino roll, usually eaten for breakfast and, despite its name, is on the sweet side. I’ve never made these before, so I wasn’t quite […]
Chocolate Valentino with Blackberry Coulis: Celebrating The Blog’s Birthday with the Daring Bakers
Guess what? This blog was born 3 years ago today! Where did the time go? How many calories were consumed? Why has my photography only marginally improved? In any event, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with the Daring Bakers; today’s our posting date! The February 2009 challenge is hosted by […]
Cinnamon Raisin Twists
When I lived on the Upper East Side, each morning I’d stop by the old Lexington Ave. location of Amy’s Bread on the way to work. A tiny shop, it was filled with all sorts of goodies. Breads of course — baguettes, whole wheat, sourdoughs, semolinas — but what really lured me were the sweeter […]
Pork Chops with Orange & Fennel Salad
Where have I been? Not dead, just busy. So it’s especially nice to find a recipe that comes together easy and is delicious. The pork here is juicy, tender, and flavorful; with it’s sprinkling of fennel seeds, it’s reminiscent of a good pork sausage. It’s made even better with the sweetness of oranges and the […]
Sautéed Tilapia with Lemon-Caper Sauce
I know I’m not the only one who’s been craving lighter, brighter flavors lately. Eggnog, cookies, cheeses, meats, sauces, pies, cakes, and all those wonderful holiday foods are terrific, but after eating them for awhile, it’s nice to enjoy something a little different. Not only does this tilapia give your palate a break, but as […]
