Slow Cooked Bangla Beef In Clay

Slow Cooked Bangla Beef In Clay by kathy gori

I cook 7 days a week. I cook because I love it. I cook because with my writing I work out of my house. There was one brief period when we decided to have an office at a studio. We were working at Warner Bros and they said, "you guys want an office?" so we said, "sure". Well, having an office meant actually having to put pants on…

Baccalà alla vicentina

Baccalà alla vicentina by Frank Fariello

Baccalà, or dried salt cod, is a favorite meal around our house, even if it only appears occasionally on the dinner table. One of the most delicious ways to make baccalà has got to be in the style of Vicenza, alla vicentina: slowly braised in milk flavored with a savory soffritto of garlic, onions and anchovies.

Coniglio alla cacciatora (Hunter-style Rabbit)

Coniglio alla cacciatora (Hunter-style Rabbit) by Frank Fariello

Rabbit is a wonderful meat, leaner but yet tastier than most chicken you'll find in these days of industrial agriculture. Many people (at least in the US) have an aversion to eating rabbit, but it is quite popular in Italy, Spain, France and elsewhere in Europe. And why not? Those furry creatures make great eating. One of my…

Hyderabadi Rice Pilaf Cooked In Clay

Hyderabadi Rice Pilaf Cooked In Clay by kathy gori

When planning a company dinner I always like to go all out. I also like to have some dishes on the table that are relatively easy to set up and prepare. It's important to have a variety of tastes, textures and colors on the table in an Indian meal. My favorites are the ones that get off the stove top and tuck themselves into the oven…

Pasta with Garlic Breadcrumbs (Pasta con pangrattato)

Pasta with Garlic Breadcrumbs (Pasta con pangrattato) by kathy vegas

This thrifty pasta dish is from an era when clever home cooks had to feed large families and meat and cheese was too expensive and often hard to come by. Bread was always on hand and stale bread was never wasted. Stale bread shows up in many classic Italian soups, pastas and even deserts. Crisp, savory breadcrumbs are the star in this…

Ginger Prawns highlights what marinating can do for flavors

Ginger Prawns highlights what marinating can do for flavors by Nick Roche

One of the wonderful things that we can do in the kitchen that always enhances the flavors of various foods is to marinate. You can take meats for instance and marinating will take a lesser cut to a whole new level, thus saving you money. Indeed it's a very inexpensive way of elevating the taste barometer. What's so wonderful about…

Maltese Stuffed Marrows

Maltese Stuffed Marrows by louise

Very common in the Maltese household, these stuffed marrows are just as good cold. Other recipes use rikotta for the filling but I prefer the traditional way.

Gratineed Ox Tongue in Mushoom Cream Sauce

Gratineed Ox Tongue in Mushoom Cream Sauce by Frank Fariello

Although classified as an organ meat, tongue doesn't taste 'organ-y' at all. Rather it tastes like a richest, most unctuous cut of beef you have ever had. If you haven't tried tongue, you owe it to yourself to do so, at least once.
