Rhubarb CompoteA compote is a stewed mixture of fruit, typically served as a dessert. Sometimes, it can function as a relish and served on the savory side. For this rhubarb compote, I added a bit of ground pepper since I chose the savory route. However, by simply omitting the pepper, you can use this recipe to make a sweet topping for vanilla ice… |

Rhubarb Oatmeal CrispLast Friday, a friend asked me if I had any recipes with rhubarb. And I did not! Somehow I had managed to ignore this wonderful spring vegetable (or fruit, as it is sometimes considered due to its primary use in desserts). And I think it is because a couple years ago, my first attempt at rhubarb crisp failed miserably. Not only was… |

Tomato JamThis was the first time that I have made jam from tomatoes, and I was pleasantly surprised. Tomato jam is probably one of the easiest condiments to make. So far, we have pasted it unto toast and used it in place of ketchup in burgers - delicious both ways. This recipe utilizes only very ripe roma tomatoes, but I don't see why you… |

Trinidad Sweet Rice (Rice Pudding)Trinidad Sweet Rice (Rice Pudding)My two sisters will be visiting us in less a week. As part of the preparation, there is a lot of discussion about food: which restaurants to try and what dishes we are going to make. Family visits are a good time to cook together, and in the past we tended to revisit many of our favorite (and… |

Scallops with Rosemary Butter SauceScallops with Rosemary Butter SauceA typical Good Friday meal back in Trinidad consisted of some sort of seafood. For my family, it was usually "carite" or "king fish", two types of white fish found just off the coast of the island. Both of these are similar to tilapia in the sense that their subtle flavor pairs well with a variety… |

Don't forgot to pick up some fresh baguette because you would need some for the broth, which just might be the best part.Clams in Saffron Broth2. Heat the oil in a large skillet.

Low Fat Spicy Sausage Corn ChowderWelcome the cold evenings with a bowl of this spicy corn chowder. To make it lighter in calories, instead of cream, I used low fat evaporated milk. In addition, I substituted chicken sausages for higher calorie pork varieties. Recently, I found these spicy chicken sausages at Trader Joe's which are good in eggs, in paella, and great… |

Mini Pumpkins with Coconut Lime CustardHave you ever had stuffed pumpkin for dessert? This first time I did, it was at a roadside food stand on a busy Bangkok street. That was on our first international trip together and we were staying at the Asia hotel, which was located somewhat on the edge of the city but in close proximity to taxi hubs, and train stops. In other… |

Butternut Squash and Leek GratinWhen it comes to butternut squash, I tend to rotate the same set of recipes. Most frequently, it's soup. No soup is as creamy, sweet and savory, all at the same time, as a homemade butternut squash soup with a dollop of sour cream, or a swirl of balsamic syrup. Next on the list is butternut squash creme brulee. And finally, butternut… |

Easy Tomato Basil SoupToday, as I sliced through our CSA microshare of roma tomatoes, their sweet and intense aroma wafting to my nose, it dawned on me that this was the first time that I actually took notice of the aroma of a roma tomato. Conventional roma tomatoes - those sold at chain grocery stores - never smell this good, or even look this vibrant -… |
