Hi everyone. I am alive and well and only slightly frazzled with everything going on. This is the week of Thanksgiving in America so for the next few days we’re going to be talking about how to make Thanksgiving feasts. And then we’ll follow that up with how to turn Thanksgiving feasts into awesome Thanksgiving leftovers. […]

Spice Week: Saffron
I’m just mad about Saffron…Saffron’s madly expensive… So, back for another edition of Spice Week, the cooking celebration of the reuniting of the Spice Girls. Yesterday, we looked at a way to make a warm herbed goat cheese with herbs de’ Provence which can be enjoyed as is. However, by using another great spice, in this […]
Spice Week: Herbs de’Provence
Welcome back to another (slightly later than I would have liked) edition of Spice Week. In celebration of the Spice Girls reuniting, this week is all about how to use spices in your cooking. And yes, I realize that herbs de’Provence are herbs and not spices, but bear with me here. They’re a handy little […]
Spice Week: Indian Spices
Due to my illness, I took the week off to recover and try to eat something other than dry pasta. I’ve been partially successful. I did want to get back on track with my calendar so I’m using this week to talk about spices. And why I am so excited about spices? That’s right you […]
Happy World Vegan Day!
That’s right, it’s back again for another crazy year. It’s World Vegan Day. I know many of you, my readers, are not vegans, which is just fine. Neither am I. However, there is nothing wrong with trying vegan recipes every now and then (like my soyrizo taquitos for instance…) I was vegan once for about […]
Food and the Family
So I’m having one of those nights where I’m sitting in front of my computer trying to figure out what recipe to share and all that came to me was “Recipe: Chocolate Chips.” 1) Drive to the store 2) Buy cookie dough 3) Drive home 4) Read instructions. And I think maybe my subconcious is telling […]
Recipe: Orange Ginger Chicken
This is another recipe I created in my quest for chicken for the next issue of BIAO Magazine. I really liked how it turned out with several different flavors going on at once: the citrus tang of orange with the spiciness of ginger and a little soy and garlic to bring it all home. 4 boneless, […]

Hi everyone, I have added an “Editorial Calendar” to the site which shows what you can expect each day from the site. If there is anything that you do not see or if you have any feedback, please email me. I am also announcing Theme Weeks. Every other week, I will be presenting four different recipes […]
Robert Irvine’s Mission Cook
Over the weekend, I picked up a copy of Robert Irvine’s Mission Cook, a biography/recipe book from the hard nosed, no-nonsense, skilled beyond measure chef from Dinner: Impossible. If you have not seen this show, it is amazing. Supposedly, Robert is given no foreknowledge of his task for the show, things like catering a governor’s inaugral […]
Recipe: Plum Chicken
In a recent article for BIAO Magazine, I was asked to put together a healthy cocktail party spread. I decided to make the centerpiece of the spread a chicken dish that would focus on that elusive combination of light and tasty. I tried several different recipes before finding the one that worked best with party concept. You […]
