Rustic, but not simple, as it gets and so very satisfying. The combination of tender polenta and some sort of saucy meat is a classic. This one, based on a recipe from the book Hello! My Name is Tasty (I’m loving this book and I wrote about it previously here), is an excellent example of…… Continue reading Sugo and Polenta with Over- Easy Egg

Lardo Tipico
Man is this good. Like very very good. It’s another one of those posts here that did not start as a planned blog post, hence the no preparation pictures. I wish I had taken some. Oh well, maybe next time since I am sure there will be a next time. After months in the cure,…… Continue reading Lardo Tipico
Thai Green Curry with Apple Eggplants, Tofu and Chicken – Cucumber and Cabbage Salad
It’s Thai dinner night again and I love it. The rest of the family, especially the kiddos, not so much. No matter, I’m craving a rich spicy coconut based curry with tons of flavor and that’s what I made. A refreshing crunchy tart Thai salad is always a must to balance the meal. Making the…… Continue reading Thai Green Curry with Apple Eggplants, Tofu and Chicken – Cucumber and Cabbage Salad
Boneless Stuffed Chicken Wings with Black Bean Sauce
Superbowl and wings are perfect party companions. I made wings this Superbowl Sunday but I did not just fry some wings and toss them in hot sauce (as delicious as that is). These are boneless wings stuffed with zippy pork dumpling filling and tossed in a fermented black bean sauce. Boneless chicken “wings” have been…… Continue reading Boneless Stuffed Chicken Wings with Black Bean Sauce
Chicken, Preserved Lemon and Freekeh

I love his recipe for this dish but it certainly it does not come off as Lebanese to me, more North African maybe. Either way it is delicious. The…… Continue reading Chicken, Preserved Lemon and Freekeh
Chicken, White Wine and Porcini Fricassee, Simple Risotto with Verjus
I cooked this when mom mom was visiting recently. I’m glad she loves Italian food as much as I do and especially risotto, pesto sauces and any form of pasta. Really, who doesn’t? I have a nice pasta dish coming up soon but for now it’s a soul satisfying dish from one of my go-to…… Continue reading Chicken, White Wine and Porcini Fricassee, Simple Risotto with Verjus
Chicken Roulade, Tomato Gravy and Crispy Roast Potatoes
Free range chicken like the ones I get from Yonder Way are delicious. These are birds that were never caged and are free to roam around and be as active as they like. The result is tasty chicken but not one as tender as the fryers you can get from the grocery store. These are…… Continue reading Chicken Roulade, Tomato Gravy and Crispy Roast Potatoes
Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Lemon and Eggs
One of the most lovely looking dishes I made from a Paula Wolfert recipe. This amazing stew was the first time I use an actual clay tagine. This specific Tagine (which is the name of the pot and the dish made in it) is an inexpensive glazed clay one I bought from Sur La Table. It’s…… Continue reading Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Lemon and Eggs
