Murgh Makhani (Butter Chicken)
We love Indian food, but despite the ethnic food riches available in Las Vegas, we’ve struggled a bit to find much good Indian cooking here (though there is one new candidate). In any case, one of my favorite dishes has always been Chicken Tikka Masala. I know it’s not very “real” Indian cuisine, and it’s [...]
Turkey Leftovers: Turkey King Ranch Casserole
King Ranch Casserole is considered to be a Texan staple, and I loved going over to friends’ houses when I was growing up and eating it there since the dish wasn’t in my mum’s English recipe repertory. For those of you who have never heard of King Ranch Casserole, it is basically an enchilada-style dish, [...]
Thanksgiving Dinner: Apple Cider-Brined Turkey
Thanksgiving is next week, and we have you covered: we’ve cooked up a bunch of great recipes we’ll be sharing with you over the next several days so you’re ready for your big meal. First up: turkey! I’ve been known to spend hours making turkey. My favorite recipe is to smoke a turkey (which takes [...]
Roasted Hatch Green Chile, Black Bean, and Chicken Enchiladas
This tasty Tyler Florence recipe for Roasted Hatch Green Chile, Black Bean, and Chicken Enchiladas takes an ordinary roasted deli chicken from the supermarket and turns it into a spectacular Mexican treat. Everything else in the rest of the recipe is made from scratch, aside from the tortillas, so not having to worry about roasting [...]
Kogi BBQ Tacos
A big trend in food right now is the emergence of food carts around the country, especially in cities like Portland, San Francisco, and LA. These mobile gourmet kitchens serve street food kicked up a notch, and perhaps one of the best known food carts is the Kogi BBQ truck in LA, which uses Twitter [...]
Chicken al Mattone, or Chicken Under A Brick
What’s better than cooking with building materials? When the latest issue of Bon Appetit arrived, the chicken on the front cover looked really good. Roast chicken, simple as it is, is one of my favorite foods, and this looked like an interesting twist. Flip to the article, and the recipe lists a brick under “Special [...]
Thai Chicken, Zucchini, and Tomato Curry
Often times I crave Thai food, and I’ll either make Carlo head across town with me to our favourite Thai restaurant in Vegas, Lotus of Siam, or we will be lazy and order take out from Pin Kaow, which is no where as good as Lotus of Siam, but they deliver. However this fast and [...]
Crispy Chicken Fingers with Sweet Potato Fries
I’m finally back from a 2.5 week vacation to Texas where I got to spend lots of quality time with my family, including my sister and two little nieces who are visiting from Scotland. I had a great time with everyone, and also got to eat lots of food that you just don’t get in [...]
Publican Chicken with Grilled Bread Salad and Grilled Corn
Even though I’ve been around the grill a lot during my many years with Carlo, the extent of my grill participation has been just watching Carlo cook, or at most helping turn meat or veggies over on his request. Somehow the grill has always remained within Carlo’s domain of our cooking adventures, but I wanted [...]
Moroccan Chicken with Green Olives and Lemon
Last week when Carlo and I met his family in Carlsbad, his brother gave us some more Meyer Lemons from his garden in Tucson. Last time he gave us some, I made the delicious Lemon Curdy Pudding. However this time I wanted to make something savory with the lemons, so I made Moroccan Chicken with [...]
