Salsa is a terrific snack. Its primary components are vegetables and its acidity, heat, and natural sweetness satisfy in a guilt-free way. It is no wonder that every grocery store sells so many varieties of salsa. We can walk down the condiment aisle and expect to be able to choose from a variety of roasted, [...]
This was my favorite mezze from Oleana in Cambridge, MA the first time I visited, and to say the least I’ve been back a few times. Reason being? This is perhaps the perfect accompaniment for some delicious and soft foccacia or other warm bread. There are lots of feta dip recipes out there, but this [...]
Someone asked me the other day if I’ve had a favorite cookbook lately. After some thinking, I happened on a book that I’ve unexpectedly liked over the course of the past year – Jamie Oliver’s Jamie at Home.

I do call this recipe ‘hot sauce’, but I am not talking about the packets of orange liquid they serve along with your order at Taco Bell. This sauce is chunky and bursting with fresh pepper flavor and acidity, and can be as mild or as insanely hot as you or the crowd you are [...]
Poblanos are a wonderful introduction to the world of hot peppers. Compare them to bell peppers and they pack a punch, but next to jalapenos and serranos, they are pleasantly mild.

Living in Southern California, it’s not surprising that she has taken to this great cuisine. The Mexican culinary traditions and flavors are very evident in the [...]
The scenario: It’s been a hell of a day. The weather is somewhere between snow and rain – not bad enough to warrant a snow day, but plenty dreary to make it hard to get out of bed. You spent too many hours at work. You feel like putting on your slippers and taking a nap on the couch rather than going to the grocery store, but you are in no position to drop forty bucks on take-out that will feed you once and will only only satisfy you until twenty minutes after you begin eating, at which point you know you will feel bloated and slightly guilty for overeating.
