This weekend at Mall of America! I’m judging with WCCO’s Jason DeRusha and Le Cordon Bleu’s Chef Jason Ross! I hope that you can stop by for all sorts of competitive food fun. Here’s a Fox 9 News teaser with defending champ Chef Vincent Francoual: Local Chef Challenge Preview with M.A. Rosko: MyFoxTWINCITIES.com Yes, I…
Ham Fritters
I made the original saltcod version of these fritters via Andrew Zimmern’s Kitchen Adventures and watched my friends and family devour them. I love fritters! I love anything fried! So I created two versions – both glutenful and gluten-free – and was delighted when taste testers couldn’t tell the difference between the two. If fritters…
Fried Egg BLT with Harissa & Avocado
This sandwich is so delicious it makes even gluten-free bread seem divine. Inspired by the movie Spanglish – worth seeing for a couple of killer food scenes, thanks to consulting chef Thomas Keller – it’s basically just a glorified BLT. But I love glorified, especially when the glory is via a fried egg, and melted…
Guinness Caramel Sauce

A Chicken Soup Supper

I took her book With Bold Knife and Fork, published in 1969, with me on vacation last week and was highlighting so many passages on…

Spring is in the air! And on your plate! Tarragon-Crusted Lamb with Goat Cheese Fondue at Andrew Zimmern’s Kitchen Adventures/Food & Wine Magazine.
Red Cabbage & Squash Gratin
I made this colorful dish for Christmas dinner and am just getting around to sharing it with you now. I’d like to say that I sat down and thought about everyone’s favorite vegetables and what would be pretty with the rest of the meal but honestly…I got rushed, and behind, and realized awfully late that…
