Told you I had another savory shortbread recipe in the works. Of course since I was abroad last week and apparently when I’m on vacation I go dumb, I forgot to schedule this post, even though I left feeling pretty confident everything was in order. So you’re getting this this week instead! No hard feelings. […]
This is not strictly speaking cilantro tabbouleh, it’s more like a pretty standard parsley tabbouleh with cilantro added. Get it? Good. I wouldn’t want any confusion as to the parsley to cilantro ratio, that could get awkward. It’s easy here: it’s 1:1. I’ve had a lot of pretty mediocre tabbouleh in my life, considering that […]
That’s right, not two days out of the “gluten-free week” and already back to my old habits. I guess they die hard. Carbs + red meat + melted cheese? Yes please. Oh, sorry, no, I shouldn’t, it’s not good for me. I say the hell with it: sometimes, you just need comfort food, and you’re […]
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 […]
There you go, my first batch of empanadas with the brand new version of empanada dough I’m so glad I tried. That’s what I’ve been learning with cooking you know, you should never settle for what’s good – you can always get to great. And this dough is just great. Forget about leave well alone […]
This is the real deal people. For those of you who haven’t been following the news in Europe, besides the various monetary and political crises we’ve been facing, we’re currently in the midst of a food crisis involving ground HORSE meat being used as ground beef in many, many, many prepared dishes all over the […]
It’s been a long, long week. I’m not even sure by the time this gets posted, I will still be standing. Yes, I have a penchant for drama, but I also have very low tolerance to fatigue. Which basically makes me a walking 2-year old, who needs to accomplish the daily tasks of a 20-something. […]
I’m totally in a bulgur streak these days. You’ll see what I mean by the end of the week. I don’t know much about nutrition, but I have a sneaky feeling when you’re trying to eat healthy, bulgur is the right way to go if your number one goal is to stay away from pasta. […]
I love my new tartlet pans. So far I’ve used them for two recipes, neither of which were tartlets. Can you tell I’m a rebel? I’d never made frittata, and I have to admit, they do taste much lighter than the traditional omelette, which I was never wowed by. Here it might also have to […]
So I said I would come back with fresh and healthy recipes: there you go. If you’re of the mind that salmon is best eaten plain with just a bit of pepper and olive oil, I would agree. But I’ll also tell you that this corn salsa brightened up the dish in a very simple […]
