This recipe is adapted from a winery we are club members with. Jacuzzi Family Vineyards has some great Italian wines that are reasonably priced. The original used Barbara which I changed to Monepulciano. I also added shallots, mushrooms and roasted…

Salmon Saltimbocca

Salmon Saltimbocca by Bob Vincent

This is a wide left turn on Saltimbocca ala Romano normally made with Veal Scaloppine. I used salmon instead. Saltimbocca translates into "Jump-In-The-Mouth." Though I didn't make a sauce for the dish you certainly could if you want. A butter, garlic, white wine, shallot and sage sauce would work. I served the dish with lemon…

Gujarati Vegetables With Lime And Cilantro!

Gujarati Vegetables With Lime And Cilantro! by kathy gori

Ever since Paula Wolfert gave me a Clay Coyote Flameware skillet the other day, I've been jonesing to use it. However, at the same time I got the skillet, I also got all inspired to fix some meatless Indian raw salads that I'd learned of from a cookbook she'd also given me. I kept staring at the beautiful Flameware skillet up on the…

Fun With Favas!!

Fun With Favas!! by kathy gori

One of the things I like the best about this time of year are all the vegetables that are suddenly available. One of my favorites is the Fava bean. Favas are a big part of Italian cooking, especially in Tuscany where my family is from. When I see those big old bean pods sitting there at the farmers market I just can't help myself. The…

Beet It!

Beet It! by kathy gori

Yesterday I was over the moon that I'd found a new South Asian Market here in Sonoma county. As I think I'd mentioned before we have only ONE Indian market in the entire county and they're not always the best stocked. It's the thing I do miss about Los Angeles. Ready access to good ethnic grocers. I needed to go over to Santa Rosa…

A Tale of Two Neighbors Or How Italian Peppers found Their Way Into Indian Food

A Tale of Two Neighbors Or How Italian Peppers found Their Way Into Indian Food by kathy gori

This isn't a very complicated story. It's mainly the tale of a small town (Sonoma). There are about 9,000 people in our town, pretty shocking when you've been living in LA for a loooooooong time, and were born and raised in San Francisco. Yes, quite a…

Cauliflower, Baby Potatoes, and Heirloom Tomatoes, Oh My!

Cauliflower, Baby Potatoes, and Heirloom Tomatoes, Oh My! by kathy gori

I love vegetarian meals, hell, I love almost everything except mayonnaise which fortunately doesn't figure in Indian cooking. One of the greatest compliments I can get at home is when my husband says.."I'm a carnivore, but damn this is really really good. I could just eat this stuff." Of course "this stuff" is vegetables. This is the…

How Dry I Am

How Dry I Am by kathy gori

Yesterday I posted a recipe that is considered a "wet" Vegetarian dish. So if the cauliflower is considered wet than what might you ask is "dry"? Dry is anything that has less of a liquid sauce, more of a thick sauce that clings to the vegetables, or many times spices and seasonings that roast onto them. I still had eggplants in the…

The Ones That Didn't Get Away!

The Ones That Didn't Get Away! by kathy gori

For those of you who have never experienced them, sardines don't just come in cans. I have to admit that's been my acquaintance with them for most of my life. Any Sardine that didn't have King Ottos'face on it. Never met him. So, years pass I have sardines in a Portuguese restaurant. Stupendous. A light goes on.Cook them myself…
