I kept staring at the beautiful Flameware skillet up on the… |

The Raw And The Uncooked, A Meatless Monday SpecialI'm loving this whole meatless Monday business. It's great to take a break from the same old same old. One of my food blogger friends Jeroxie at Addictive and Consuming, had a post up last night where she was describing some simply divine potato and pea samosas made with filo dough. I had no business reading it at that hour as I was… |

Talk To Me Cupcake! Tasty Bites, Gluten Free!I love cup cakes. They're so innocent. begging me to eat them. I especially love mini cup cakes, mini anything actually. To me mini = guilt free. I know in the "reality based community", this is a bunch of horse pucky, but one can dream. The last time I made Gujarati steamed chickpea bread I wondered since it's so good savory, how… |

Got Carrot Salad? Got 20 Minutes?I love stuff that's fast and easy. These are the recipes that are lifesavers especially when "stuff" happens, for lack of a better word. Dishes that are versatile, and inexpensive to prepare and can be prepared ahead of time are even better. I was looking for that sort of thing this week, after the whole Film Festival craziness and… |

I mangiafagioli: Lovers of Tuscan…
Did you know that Tuscans are sometimes nicknamed "mangiafagioli" or "bean eaters"? Indeed, there are many wonderful Tuscan bean dishes like fagioli al fiasco, fagioli all'uccelletto, fagioli e tonno, not to mention those wonderful hearty soups like ribollita. But as we all know, Tuscan cooking has much, much more to offer: pappa al pomodoro, pappardelle sulla lepre, la bistecca alla fiorentina, cacciucco, fettunta, crostini, panzanella... the list is practically endless.
