Greek Fish Soup AvgolemonoThe Greeks supposedly invented fish stew and there are many versions of the dish. This version, which I adapted from a recipe in the Frugal Gourmet's Three Ancient Cuisines (a great book), is really phenomenal. We served this during a holiday party with greek salad and spanakopita. Friends of mine who have made regular chicken… |

Easy Cinnamon Apple StrudelThis is super simple and truly delicious. I made it for John's birthday dinner, since he loves cinnamon apple desserts with vanilla ice cream. It's light and flavorful without being too rich. We finished it all in one night between the six of us. Mmm! |

Cheddar scalloped POTATO gratin simile DAUPHINOISVery high in flavour...very high on calorie reduction too! I’ve been trying desperately to replicate a 'Potato Dauphinois gratin'...The king of gratinées! After having made these scalloped potatoes...I think I’ve come darn close to realizing my simile version of this great dish. If I may...I'll call her the 'Queen' to her King… |

Braised Beef & Tortellini with Marsala Wine SauceI had this same meal at Olive Garden and had to come home and find a similiar recipe- I found a recipe that was close but after making it a few times I have tweaked it and made it my own- adding a lot less of a few things and throwing in a few extra things too! Enjoy : ) |

Since then, many variations of the red velvet cake recipe from scratch have come up, but the… |

Chahohbili - Georgian Chicken StewThis is another dish that I had while in Russia, and it's popular throughout the former Soviet Union. This might be the most commonly made Georgian dish. I'm a big fan of the flavors. I served it over rice, but it would go nicely with pasta or crusty bread too. To me, this isn't as remarkable as the Georgian beef stew that I… |

NUTTY flourless cookie CRISPS < Brutti ma Buoni >Got a few egg whites left over from a recipe? Here's a super easy crispy, flourless cookie called < Brutti ma Buoni >. It's an Italian saying...loosely translated as ugly looking (not really) but yummy. Originally made with roasted hazelnuts...however, re-created to include roasted almonds instead. I also reduced much of the… |
