Not-Too-Heavy Chocolate Souffles
Happy Valentine’s Day! For someone who digs the savory over the sweet, it’s not my usual to post two desserts in a row. But I couldn’t resist sharing these perfect Valentine’s Day chocolate souffles, from Alice Medrich’s marvelous chocolate cookbook BitterSweet. Despite their decadent, chocolate-y goodness, these souffles are really rather light (around 200 calories…
Trinidad Salt Cod Fritters with Pepper Sauce
Fun to make for a crowd – Super Bowl Sunday! – and utterly salty crispy addictive. Recipe for Trinidad Salt Cod Fritters at Andrew Zimmern’s Kitchen Adventures/Food & Wine Magazine.
Braised White Beans
These may look like ordinary white beans but they’re actually the cool-girl beans in town, swooned over on Twitter, gossiped about on Facebook, photographed and copied and seriously in demand. I’d love to take credit for the fabulous recipe but no, these are via Chef Adam Vickerman of Cafe Levain, who now has the lady…
French 75 (aka Mollytav Cocktail)
Happy New Year! Bubbles aren’t just for New Year’s Eve of course, in fact in my book they’re for every day (bit of an obsession), especially when topping a fabulous cocktail. When I had the idea to conjure a cocktail recipe to open 2012, I immediately tweeted my minxstress friend Molly McNeil, she of the…
Popovers
It actually hurt me a little bit to bake a pan of popovers for the photo. I don’t miss many things since giving up gluten – mostly good beer, honestly – but oh, popovers! Truly the world’s most perfect butter delivery vehicle, soft and eggy, steamy and crusty, marvelously ragged with melted-butter-pooling crevices. In college,…
Quick Pasta with Cream & Garlic
Inspired by a recent David Tanis/New York Times column about the beauty of having a quick, satisfying pasta in your repertoire, I thought I’d share my recipe – if you can even call it that – for the pasta I make for my son at least once a week. Like the Tanis recipe, this dish…
Asopao with Chicken & Shrimp
Studded with chicken, shrimp, bacon, chiles, and tomatoes, this Carribean one-pan (!) stew is spicy heaven on a cold Minnesota night. Make sure to serve with lots of fresh limes. Recipe for Asopao with Chicken & Shrimp at Food & Wine Magazine/Andrew Zimmern’s Kitchen Adventures.
Turkey a la King
Um, I’m a bit late putting this up, I’m very sorry. This dish is of course is perfect for leftover Thanksgiving turkey…perhaps you froze some? Then you’re in luck! A creamy, delicious topping for rice, or filling for a luscious pot pie. Perhaps you’re roasting a turkey for Christmas? I’m trying… Recipe for Turkey a…
Game-Day Pork & Black Bean Chili
Are you cheering for the Badgers in the Rose Bowl? I will be! Yay Bucky! Are you cheering for the Packers this weekend? Because no one is cheering for the Vikings anymore? Then make this! Thick and spicy with pork and chiles. Serve with beer and it won’t matter who wins. (Spoken like a girl…
Socca (Chickpea Flour Pancakes) with Fried Eggs & Spinach
Somehow on my trip to Provence this summer I completely missed socca, or chickpea flour pancakes. I’m a little bit obsessed with them at the moment, hot off the griddle, topped with nothing more than a grind of black pepper. That’s how they’re served in Provence, as a snack, wrapped in paper, meant to be…
