Cauliflower & Potatoes ~ Indian style

Cauliflower & Potatoes ~ Indian style by Amos Miller

I 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…

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…

MY Rogan Josh

MY Rogan Josh by Amos Miller

A 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…

Light and Creamy Apple Kheer, The Queen of Puddings!

Light and Creamy Apple Kheer, The Queen of Puddings! by kathy gori

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…

Gajjar ke Halva (carrot halva)

Gajjar ke Halva (carrot halva) by Claudine Jarrett

This wonderfully aromatic halva is more of a very thick pudding than the squares of halva bought in stores. It is delicious as dessert & also great at breakfast-time, witha little toast. I've made fancy party desserts by putting a spoon of it on phyllo dough , folding dough into triangles & baking light golden brown.

You Put The Lamb In the Coconut And Stir It All Up!

You Put The Lamb In the Coconut And Stir It All Up! by kathy gori

Remember that old song lyric by Nilsson, "the lime in the coconut"??? In my opinion, there is nothing that doesn't go better with coconut. 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…

Little Lamb Korma Who Made Thee....

Little Lamb Korma Who Made Thee.... by kathy gori

I love lamb. That wasn't always the case. I went from eating lots of lamb as a kid, usually roasted in the Italian style with garlic and rosemary. Also usually roasted in my mothers' style until it was a uniform drab overcooked grey. I won't even go into the vegetables that came along with this dish. Many years passed where I didn't…
