How to Make Pizza Crust and Other Pizza Ideas
We’ve been on a pizza kick all weekend. There’s no such thing as Neapolitan style thin crust pizza here in Las Vegas so Katie and I spent the weekend toying with recipes. At this point we’ve tried recipes from Mark Bittman, Giuliano Bugialli and god knows how many online recipes. I finally checked out Heston [...]
Traveling Italy (Part 3) – Modena’s Hosteria Giusti
As people who claim to know anything about Italian cooking, it is not hard to imagine how we ended up in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy on our trip after loving the food and culture in the Amalfi Coast and the Tuscan wineries and restaurants. The Emila-Romagna is an area many famous Italian chefs, including [...]
Traveling Italy (Part 2) – Chianti, Siena and Tuscany
There are not many places in the world that I’ve seen like Toscana (Tuscany to us North Americans). Especially in the summertime, when man, that Tuscan sun is intense – the movie didn’t lie about that one. So after an amazing few days down on the Amalfi Coast, Aimee and I made our way via [...]
Traveling Italy (Part 1) – The Amalfi Coast and Campania
So with a few days of married life under our belts, Aimee and I set off to Italia – a place we’ve long looked forward to traveling together for the sights, architecture, art, bot mostly the food and wine. Our first stop on the trip was the Amalfi coast, where after loads of recommendations, we decided to [...]
Eggplant and Ricotta Lasagna Recipe – Noodle Free Lasagna!
I have taken on two challenges with the invention of this recipe: the first is making a pasta-less lasagna that is hands-down delicious (you’re welcome, gluten-phobes and carb-free dieters!); the second is creating a dish that even the most critical loather of eggplant simply could not resist. Eggplant is a touchy vegetable for some people. [...]
Braised Duck Ragu Recipe with Fennel and Tagliatelle
You may think that the title of this post makes it sound like some big, heavy, complicated, difficult recipe to produce, but I want to assure you that it’s anything but. One of the beauties of rustic Italian food is that it’s all relatively simple, even for an elegant meal such as braised duck. This [...]
Italian Comfort Food: Jamie Oliver Inspired Ham and Kale Tart with Homemade Pastry Crust Recipe
This one was one of the first recipes that I noticed and wanted to try when I picked up the ‘Jaime at Home’ cookbook. It’s one of those recipes that is fairly intimidating (you have to make your own pastry crust) yet ultimately totally rewarding (because it’s so damn good). Jamie Oliver makes this with [...]
Last of the Summer Squash! Pasta Primavera with Squash, Kale, Almonds and Marscapone
Summer has come and gone and as usual, I’m wishing for more of the nice weather and great fresh, simple ingredients and recipes. Fall season is here though, and with it brings the awesome earthy, organic flavors of squash, apples and mushrooms. I gotta say, it might be my favorite season of the food calendar. [...]
Summer Spaghetti and Meatballs Part II: Turkey and Pork Meatballs
This is part 2 of a 2 part summer spaghetti and meatballs post. To check out part 1 (Simple Tomato Fennel Sauce), click here. A long time ago, I made up the decision to give up eating beef and, consequently, I didn’t eat meatballs for many years. About a year ago, I saw a woman [...]
The Cure for Pasta Withdrawal: Stuffed Portabellas with Canadian Bacon and Feta Cheese
I admit, it is a little cliche, but the New Year has brought about a good excuse for me to become more motivated to eat well and exercise. Truthfully, I am feeling quite positive about my new lifestyle, except for one thing: I know I need to cut back on my over-consumption of pasta. Pasta [...]
