Don't worry, this isn't a recipe for how to make homemade yogurt (though I have done that before and it is tasty but to me it wasn't worth the effort). We had a big container of plain yogurt in the fridge for some Indian food we were making, and we had a lot of extra so I decided to make a ...
"Laisses Les Bon Temps Roulez" as they say in Louisiana.
Let the Good Times Roll is just what you will do when you try this savory blend of spices and roux with flavorful duck and andouille sausage. It takes time and patience but it is so worth it!
We were fortunate to live in Lafayette, in ...
I know, I know, it probably seems like Texans eat everything in tacos, but before you cast aspersions on our cuisine, let me tell you how this meal came to be. It was one of those Wednesday's, you know the ones, where you're sick and tired of figuring out what to have for dinner and there really ...
This was one of those brainstorm meals that turn out really, really good. We pretty much had scraps of this and that left over from other meals and one last package of wild pork from Texas, but they definitely exceeded the sum of their parts and became an amazing dinner. Normally we're able to ...
When we first moved to Houston, we were in search of the perfect sushi bar and for over a year we would drive the 30 minutes from our townhouse down Memorial Drive, passed Beltway 8 to Dairy Ashford and there in the corner of a strip center is Sushi Jin, a traditional sushi bar complete with ...
I've always loved pickles...the real kind, dill...not their disgusting cousins, the bread and butter. ::shudder:: When I moved to NYC, I discovered half sours and I've never looked back. I couldn't even tell you the last time I bought bottled grocery store pickles, it has certainly been years. ...
When it comes to fresh summer produce, it's less about recipes and more about letting their purest nature shine through. With these peaches from a local orchard (http://terhuneorchards.com/), the second best way to eat them (first being straight out of their brown paper bag) was drunken. No, ...

Here's another Japanese inspired salad that is too heavily influenced by the large land mass on the east side of the Pacific to be called a sunomono. Our first experience with something like this came at the hands of a Korean sushi chef on South Padre Island and we have taken ...

I came across a post by an Indian blogger,
http://brindavanrecipes.blogspot.com/2008/05/jamun-raitajava-plum-raitanerele.html
that laid out the pathway to an unusual raita that would provide cooling relief for an assortment of spice infused dishes that I had in mind. ...
Whatever your idea of healthy food is, this dish is about 180 degrees away from that. But it is also insanely delicious - a cheese lover's dream. And luckily it is so rich that you can't really eat much of it! I served this as a side at Hunter's birthday dinner. The other dishes were grilled ...
