Chickpea, Potato, and Kale Curry
Wow, life around here has been crazy! I got back from Austin last Tuesday night and it took a few days to catch up on everything that I had missed while we were gone, as well as to catch up on some much needed sleep. Then we were off to Los Angeles for the weekend [...]
Veggie Shepherd’s Pie with Sweet Potato Mash
I don’t know about you, but my jeans were feeling a wee bit snug after Thanksgiving. Don’t most Americans gain something like 5 pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas? I don’t know the exact researched amount, but I just know that I don’t want to frighten children in my bathing suit when we go to Mexico [...]
Thanksgiving Dinner: Potato Puree
Last year Carlo and I went to Tom Colicchio’s Craftsteak at MGM and ordered their seasonal tasting menu. The dinner one of the best meals I’ve had in a fancy restaurant on the Strip, and what you would imagine the food would taste like if you are a big fan of Tom on Top Chef. [...]
Thanksgiving Dinner: Crunchy New Potatoes
I originally posted this incredible recipe for Crunchy New Potatoes back in April when I had a dinner party for some of my girlfriends in Austin. The potatoes were so good and easy to make that I just had to give them their own post in time for the holidays. Every time that I’ve made [...]
Thanksgiving Dinner: Scalloped Potatoes and Fennel
You can never have enough potatoes at Thanksgiving dinner. There’s the classic mashed, and all the variations upon them, roasted, gratin, scalloped — even french fries would be good. Therefore we’re bringing you three different potato recipes today, so if you’re either picky, or just a glutton for potatoes, you should be covered. First up, [...]
Turlu Turlu
We both really like middle eastern food, and one of our favorite cookbooks is from the restaurant Moro in London, which melds together Middle Eastern, Spanish and Moroccan food wonderfully. As we’ve been trying to eat more vegetables lately, I searched through it for some good, moreish veggie recipes, and found one for Turlu Turlu, [...]
Roasted Sweet Potato Salad With Black Beans and Chili Dressing
On Friday night, Carlo and I had a quiet night at home with a nice bottle of wine and we spent the evening cooking together. Our original menu included some bbq ribs, but upon defrosting the frozen ribs, they smelt a bit suspect so we quickly defrosted a pork tenderloin to grill instead. The Zatar-crusted [...]
Meatloaf
Meatloaf is one of those truly American dishes that I didn’t eat when I was growing up. In fact, the only time I ever really eat meatloaf is when we are in San Francisco and have lunch at ‘wichcraft, where I order the truly incredible meatloaf sandwich with cheddar, bacon, and tomato relish on a [...]
Vichyssoise
It kind of pains me to be making a chilled soup in September, but it feels like the heat will be staying with us in Vegas for a few weeks longer. Of course, this is only made worse by all of the smoke in the air from the fires in California. Vichyssoise is a classic [...]
Zucchini and Potato Tortilla
I officially banned myself from going to the Farmers’ Market for the last couple of weeks. The stands are suffering from that in-between season lull, and it seems like the only thing that has been looking good lately is zucchini, and I think I might have zucchini-ed us out this summer! I found this Zucchini [...]
