Engrossed in all things culinary, from prep to presentation. Can't get enough...
My favorite things to cook
How much time have you got? Seafood cioppino, spinach and strawberry salad to name a few...
My favorite family cooking traditions
Broth making, ingredient pairing, role of herbs, freshness of ingredients, mingling of flavors. All of them with far-reaching effects from my childhood.
My cooking triumphs
My baklava kicks a**!
My cooking tragedies
Too many to name. Gotta roll with the licks, know what I mean?

Whole Wheat Banana Nut Bread
Excellent bread -- moist, yummy, and best of all... healthy! I followed the recipe exactly as written. Just the right amount of sweetness. Will try with applesauce instead of oil next time.

Mexican Corn on the Cob (Elote)
You can't go wrong with this recipe! After grilling to a light/medium char: I omitted the butter, brushed on some low fat mayo, rolled it in grated pecorino romano cheese (nice and tangy), dashed some chili powder on it and finished it with a squeeze of lime. SO GOOD! This will definitely be on my 'Last Supper' menu...LOL

Spinach and Strawberry Salad
DELICIOUS! It is difficult to get wrong, even if you don't have all the ingredients. To cut down on time I used store-bought Strawberry Balsamic dressing. Didn't have poppy seeds (5 bucks and change for a little bottle, no thanks), just threw some sesame seeds and honey roasted almond slivers on fresh (MUST BE FRESH) strawberries and spinach and the results were soooooo good. My husband and I had 2nds. A definite keeper!
