Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & HerbsEggplant has nothing to do with eggs - unless you dip and bread them. This sauce is a knockout! We grow 'Casper', an heirloom small, long white eggplant. It's mild in flavor and perfectly suited to thick, rich vegetable sauces. When cut into dime-to-quarter-sized disks, I have found Casper to be a perfect addition to other late… |

Pear & Fig ChutneyI still had a few pears from the orchard and the figs are almost finished. Why not a Pear & Fig chutney? Easily done! This is everything a chutney should be. The flavors of the pears, combined with the figs' texture and sweetness, the plump raisins and blend of vinegars easily marry to the aromatic spices. And a quality cracked… |

Cauliflower & Potatoes ~ Indian styleI have never been a really big fan of cauliflower, but I love potatoes and spices. This dish, known as 'Alu Ghobi', has long been a favorite vegetable side dish in my kitchen. It is simple, easy to make and very healthy for you. One seldom finds a cauliflower dish on the average restaurant menu. But you need not be a… |

Texas Chuck Wagon Pinto BeansThis dish is all about FLAVOR. San Antonio and Ft. Worth are my two favorite places to be when in Texas. This recipe was inspired by some dining experiences there and, to my palate, is as Texas as bluebonnets in Spring. Sweet and spicy, richly textured, these beans cry out for anything BBQ'd, grilled or broiled. Corn on the cob,… |

Hannah's Sweet & Sour Cabbage SoupHumble, yet exhilarating, this delicious borscht is a perfect winter soup - inexpensive, perfect with bread and butter, it will warm and comfort you. I have used this recipe for the past 45 years without changing a thing (!) because it is untweakable and too simple to goof up. It is purely vegetarian, it is kosher, it can be… |

I prefer to use all fresh ingredients and bring dried beans to life, but you can pick up all these ingredients at your market. So let me give you the best recipe I have for a tasty, nourishing and economical soup - and who doesn't want that these days! And… |

Venison Roast with Cranberry SauceVenison is lean, healthy meat, and, as most hunters know, can be comparable in flavor and texture to the finest Angus beef - if processed properly in the field, after harvest, and then processed properly into various meat products. Following is a favorite roast recipe - which you can do in your crockpot - that slow cooking will… |

E-Z TX BBQMy friend, maribeth, wants to surprise Joe with a barbeque this weekend and asked if I had a simple, really tasty recipe to share. OK. This is a Texas recipe that I have pulled out of my Wranger PBRs on many occasions and produced on relatively short notice - and there is usually absolutely none left by party's end. This is not… |

Asian-inspired Mini-MeatballsA perfect appetizer, great hot or cold, and can be easily made the day before the party in a large crock pot. All you’ll need is toothpicks and tiny plates! I’ve built upon an interesting recipe I found for meatballs with a teriyaki sauce and the inclusion of, yes, dried cranberries. This was so tasty when I first made my… |

MY Rogan JoshA long-time favorite of mine, and very popular in the UK, is this exquisite dish from Kashmir, northern India. Meat-eater or vegetarian, your palate will sing the praises of Rogan Josh! I first enjoyed the dish in 1968, when a very good friend introduced me to it in New York city. I've been hooked ever since. Unlike the dishes… |
