For all you who have been asking me for this recipe, here you are! Enjoy. Unlike many other “food bloggers” who threaten hell and damnation if you use their recipe, well they must not be professional chefs. I say this because my friends, it has all been done before! I am sure Antonin Careme or [...]

A Vegan Thanksgiving Celebration
Posted in What I am Cooking on November 22, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I will try to keep this quick and to the point. A few ‘rules’ ~ vegans do not consume dairy in any form, nor meat, nor fish. This also goes for anything containing gelatin, as it is made from animal product. Some don’t do gluten, either due to celiac disease, or just wanting to avoid [...]
A Vegans Tale ~ How it all Vegan
Posted in What I am Cooking on November 21, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This got started because of my ‘lovey”. Lauren, my daughter and a vegetarian since birth. She has never eaten meat, whole eggs, fish, poultry, not ever! As a baby she would clamp her lips shut if I so much as tried to feed her something containing meat or fish. Pasta yes, fruit yes, veggies yes. [...]

For those unfamiliar with fresh water fish you are missing out on one of life’s most delicious treats. I am talking about fresh water Pike.

Okay, been thinking about Que, no not as in a pool queue, or lining up for a concert in London. Me thinks about Barbeque. Ya know, lick your fingers clean type thing. NOT your buddy, hubby, local carnivore lover firing up his grill. That is not BBQ it’s grilling. Sorry to all you dudes but [...]

This will be more of a recipe type post, instead of my usuall wanderings, stories and food burbling’s that generally emanate from the recesses of my culinary mind. Just remember, I am a classically trained french chef and pastry chef (yes I do both exceedingly well) Think of it as a “guideline” as in the [...]

Ah, the humble sea bug. So sweet, so tasty, so freaking cheap right now it’s crazy! $3.99 a pound is like giving them away. After years of Lobster men taking a beating and the price being in the stratosphere, they are now here for the taking for those willing to put in a little effort. [...]
