This blog post is dedicated to a dear man who left us too soon on July 18th, 2011. Guillermo Castro, a Birmingham restauranteur and all around amazing guy changed the face of Latin cuisine in the city with the opening of his restaurant, Sol y Luna in 1998. He continued to innovate by opening Los…

Thai Corn Bisque, or Chowder…Chowisque, Bisquder?
I have a secret ingredient… Well, it surely isn’t secret to someone because it is a marketed, purchasable ingredient buuuut it is one that I had not ever heard of until that fateful day when Nigella Lawson introduced it on her show, Nigella Bites.

4th of July Recipes–An Appetizer and a Side!

The event that inspired said Googling is the memory of that slow-motion moment when Bourdain (Anthony Bourdain of No Reservations) donned a kitschy red checked bib, slipped the blistered skin from a green onion, dunked it in romesco and…
We’ve Got Fava Beans!
I’ve always thought of fava beans as an exciting ingredient. I know it may seem odd to get excited about a bean, but this particular bean was something that, for years I read about in many an Italian recipe but, for the life of me, could never find at the market. I built those recipes up…
Whole Grain Pancakes with Strawberries
I awoke Sunday morning, thinking in the brilliant hues of red. Weird, right but I assure you that there is a perfectly sound reason for the hues of fire-engine, cherry, and vermilion that blazed through my mind early this weekend day. Saturday night, my husband and I went to Paint the Town Red, an artsy fundraiser benefiting…
