Kay’s Peanut Soup. The Other One.

  I’ve always been a huge fan of peanut soup, peanut sauce etcetera. Anything peanut butter is fine by me. Though the word fan is an uderstatement. Think of me as a closet peanut junkie trying to get a fix. The Chinese toko downtown—the one where they sell spicy Surinam peanut butter—is my dealer.

Twice Baked Chili Potatoes

  I keep having these cravings for starchy foods and I’m just not sure why. Is it a girl’s thing? Am I a carb junkie and are carbs really the enemy? Or maybe it’s some sort of fractious variation to the traditional girly chocolate cravings; in stead of being in touch with my feminine side I’m just in denial about it. Guess I’ve always been more of a tree-climber than…

Roasted Tomatoes & Magor Sauce

It’s not that I don’t like gazpacho, I absolutely do, but it’s just really boring to shoot a posting that everyone and their brother did as well. So…

Couscous Royale

  I’ve been getting a lot of email lately from people wanting to know what side-dish they should serve with my Moroccan Kefta.

Mezgaldi

If you thought the stuffed onions I did for PW were good, you haven’t tried these yet. These are the real deal, but so much simpler to prepare and so much better! You just have to give them a try, really, they’re fantastic! I’ve been using onions as a stand-alone vegetable a lot these days, but this took them to a whole new level. I got this recipe from my…
