Behold the recipe of the future. By future I mean future me. The me that will soon be over pasta every other day-or-some-kind-of-refined-carbs-to-get-me-through-the-day. Who am I kidding, I’m never going to be that person; but in the meantime it’s nice to know I can take a break from pasta and couscous sometimes, to focus on […]
How are you holding on with the whole detox-diet-new year’s resolution scheme? Yeah, me neither. I keep giving you fairly healthy recipes, but really in between I eat A LOT of butter and sugar. Not just like that, more like hidden into perfectly delicious little treats. I’ll show them to you sometime. This soup though, […]
This is just so good there are no words. It’s exactly what a perfect recipe is about to me: a combination of strong yet not overwhelming flavors, which blend harmoniously on your palate, like they never have before.

I keep hearing people say “You know, ratatouille is much harder to make than it seems.” It’s true, I *have* heard several people say […]
I saw these beautiful looking eggplants at a Chinese grocery store the other day, and they were labeled as, guess what, “Chinese eggplant.” I got even more intrigued. I remembered eating a finger-licking Asian eggplant dish a while ago, so I wondered if I could recreate it. I couldn’t. But I did something pretty good […]
Delicioso. Yeah… I tried. This is like eating lasagna, only without the guilt of having only carbs and fat in every bite. I wouldn’t say it’s particularly healthy, but it’s clearly not particularly unhealthy, which is what I strive for on most days. And yet it’s so tasty and melty and colorful and comforting, it’s […]
