Arroz con Pollo - Yellow Rice and Chicken by Salad Foodie

Spanish, Cuban, South American - a traditional and popular ethnic dish, this ranks among my all time favorites and is comfort food at its best! Most often accompanied by black beans (see link) and green peas. Rice takes on a yellow cast from that most expensive of all herbs - saffron. My mom-in-law used a flavoring packet called Vigo…

VICHYSSOISE, CLASSIC -- NOT REALLY by Cecelia Heer

The last time I made vichyssoise was about 14 years ago. It was one of the (very) few dishes I made that was unacceptable to me at the time. I haven't thought about it or revisited it since...until recently. My local farmer's market had beautiful leeks available for $2.00 a bunch. How could I pass them up? Although I didn't need…

Italian Flag Roasted Chicken by Smokinhotchef

This is another wonderful roasted chicken with a myriad of delectables stuffed under the skin and inside the bird itself. The name comes from the red sundried tomatoes, the white garlic and the choice selection of fresh green herbs blended with butter and distributed underneath the skin in delicious complex harmony. This is a quicker…
