Cuttlefish & Clam Fra DiavoloFra diavolo meaning "brother devil" describes this peppery Italian red sauce which originated in the northeastern United States by Italian immigrants I am told. The sauce can be used with most anything: seafood, poultry, beef all work, just use the appropriate broth type. I used cuttlefish fillets and Manila clams. Calamari… |

Sunday Sugo Rosso (Red Sauce)This recipe is adapted from one in Jeff Smith's book The Frugal Gourmet Cooks Three Ancient Cuisines published in 1989.

Lime, more coconut, lamb, whatever. I love my coconut. Maybe it was a lack of Peter Paul Mounds growing up as a kid. My mother doesn't like coconut, therefore none of us liked it either. That's… |

Light and Creamy Apple Kheer, The Queen of Puddings!Ok, so maybe it's not the Queen of Puddings, but it sounded really good to me. Especially since I cooked it yesterday while waiting for the new Queen of the Ice Yu-Nah Kim to win Olympic gold. I must confess, I love watching the Winter Olympics. The Summer Games aren't as interesting to me, mainly because I have actually… |
