I hate to burst your bubble but Major Grey probably ranks up there with Santy Claus and the Easter Bunny for real characters. Sorry Virgina, there is no Major Grey it's a made up name that's been around for years and is sort of synonymous with mango chutney.… |

Fast and Hot ,The Seeni Sambol StoryOk, I'm back to sambols again. Seeing as how we're in the final stages of this re-write we're doing and since we're going to Los Angeles on a business trip next week, cooking is down to bare bones quickness. However, since we eat our main meal at mid day which is also in the middle of our working day I still want something, even the… |

Hot n' Sizzling Baby Eggplants!As you may have gathered earlier, I love eggplants. There are so many varieties, shapes, sizes and colors when encountering them I can never resist. Yesterday, at the Farmers Market here in Sonoma one of our booths had the most beautiful long slender Japanese eggplants. In my early days of Indian cooking, since I was a vegetarian I… |

Gluten Free Dumpling Delights! Sweets Without The Wheat!Almost everybody loves desserts, however not everybody loves what desserts do to them. I'm not talking here about the amazing expanding waistline, larger pants size problem. I talking about gluten intolerance. There are a lot of desserts that involve wheat flour and there's the rub.

Little Lamb Korma Who Made Thee....I love lamb. That wasn't always the case. I went from eating lots of lamb as a kid, usually roasted in the Italian style with garlic and rosemary. Also usually roasted in my mothers' style until it was a uniform drab overcooked grey. I won't even go into the vegetables that came along with this dish. Many years passed where I didn't… |

Beet It!Yesterday I was over the moon that I'd found a new South Asian Market here in Sonoma county. As I think I'd mentioned before we have only ONE Indian market in the entire county and they're not always the best stocked. It's the thing I do miss about Los Angeles.
