Just as we all have our pet peeves, so too do most of us have our favorite things. With me, mushrooms happen to be a major fave. I am generally happy to eat them in any guise or form be it soups, salads, sauteed with onions etc., you get the picture. Happily, DH loves them […]
My next door neighbor Lisa is the kind of neighbor people dream about having. Setting aside that she is a dear, close friend, she’s the neighbor that if your alarm goes off (at outrageous hours and too often, till it was fixed) will (literally) jump over the gate with a ladder, brandishing a broom and […]
I had an overabundance of shnitzelized chicken and wanted to try chicken satay, which is a skewered chicken and decided to skewer it not in chunks but rather as a shnitzel. I researched a number of recipes and tried all different kinds and in the end, made up my own. What put me in mind […]
So in Spain and in Gibraltar and other places where tomatoes grow with wild abandon and abundance, a fave in the summertime is gazpacho. This is a dish that people practically duel over. Whenever we visit Gib, you mention gazpacho to people and they say (each and every one) ha! you’ve never tasted gazpacho till […]

[…]
This recipe originally was made with Nile perch, which is a fish which is both popular here in Israel and easily come by, and very tasty. If it’s not one you can find easily, halibut or snapper would substitute well here. The point is that they are “meaty” fish and they are filling which is […]
In 1988, I was already a foodie, although not a well known concept at the time, and I joined a fledgling online group (the internet still in its infancy) known as Homearts (long defunct) and it was a group looking for easy and simple recipes that were tasty and quick to put together as well […]
This is one of those recipes that just kinda happened. I had a bunch of wilty looking plums (they should’ve had more life to them but so it goes) and decided I needed to use them up lickety split. So, no I didn’t feel like baking with them, just because and I already had made […]
I find that DH and I like to experiment with salads of all kinds be they cooked or fresh or pickled. The delight of multi colored salads on the table, giving you choices, is a special treat every time anew. This salad is a cooked salad and again not spicy but rather spiced with flavor, […]
