A few weeks ago, I got an email from a reader named Gabriela (love that name) asking for more recipes involving miso paste. Gabriela had made my 10 Minute Miso Soup recipe 4 months ago and still had this massive tub of miso paste in her refrigerator. By the way,...
We have a habit of publishing recipes on Steamy Kitchen that involve a boozy pan sauce. The three of us, Adam, Joanne and I all cook with a spatula in one hand and a glass of somethin' in the other, and it's just so easy to pour a little of that magic into the pan (oh...
If you've visited Midtown Manhattan, you must have seen the food carts featuring Halal-style chicken and rice. Moist, savory chicken pieces are cooked right on the cart griddle, deftly chopped with the side edge of the long, wide metal spatula. The edges of the...
Breakfast or dessert? We’re not sure, but either way this Nutella Bread pudding is delicious. It's easy to make and packed with chocolaty, nutty flavors. Perfect for Thanksgiving or any time, really! Why This Nutella Bread Pudding Is So Good Great for breakfast...
I know it's a little early to think about Thanksgiving leftovers, but believe me, time goes by so crazy fast! Once the big meal is over, even after the late-night refrigerator raid (you sneak in and pick at the turkey in the refrigerator too, right?!), we'll always...

My husband, Scott, has quite an extensive single-malt scotch collection, which normally is off-limits to me and my kitchen. According to him, scotch is to be slowly sipped and savored, not poured or glugged into a sizzling pan as a base for a sauce. Our rum stash, on...
I met my friend Lucy Lean through Diane & Todd a couple of years ago in Los Angeles. At that time, she was the Editor of Edible Los Angeles and we chatted for hours over bottles of red wine and plates of cheese and charcuterie. It turns out, Lucy has 2 kids...
This handsome man is Hari Nayak, the man responsible for getting me comfortable cooking Indian food. I think what intimidated me all these years was the long list of spices listed in most traditional Indian recipes. I remember watching a television special on...

This year, I vowed to travel a little less, do a little less to give me more time with the family and building our little farm. That sounds like a great plan UNTIL you get an offer to visit Oregon and Washington wine regions to dine, sip and savor on a press trip...
One of my very first blogging friends is Bee from Rasa Malaysia. In the early days of the blog, we used to chat on the phone after my kids went to bed about the technical side of blogging -- silly acronyms like SEO, PHP, CSS and HTML. Back then (I say "back then"...

Did you know teriyaki sauce is made of only 3 ingredients? You could always add more, like sesame seeds, a little grated ginger and garlic. But plain and simple, teriyaki sauce is equal parts sugar, sweet cooking wine (mirin) and soy sauce. In addition to the...
A boozy salad!? Welll, yes (bloody mary!) and no (there's no alcohol). Though I'm sure those who want a real boozy salad would find a way to insert a little vodka into this Flank Steak with Bloody Mary Tomato Salad recipe -- or just swing back a shot as an apertif --...
I'm currently in a room with 3,500 other women (mostly) bloggers - at the BlogHer conference in San Diego. You can imagine all the tweeting, facebooking, blogging and hugging that's going on here. If you're internet access speed at home is a little slow, blame it on...
I've had the Simply Zov Cookbook: Rustic Classics with a Mediterranean Twist for the past couple of months, right here on my desk, simply because I can't bear to retire it the bookshelf. We've made 3 of the recipes so far, and all 3 have become part of our regular...
Okay, I'll give you just one warning, so listen good. This isn't a typical Steamy Kitchen post. There are not pretty photos, no recipe and actually I didn't even do any of the cooking. This is a post about a pork roast, beginning to end. Hint: before it becomes pork,...
When I first started food blogging 4 years ago (wow, has it been that long already!?) many of us bloggers looked to slick, glossy magazines like Gourmet, Bon Appetit and Food and Wine for recipe inspiration and to get lost in the glamorous and exotic food stories....

The long, lazy, sun-soaked days of summer are the perfect opportunity to start having picnics, and there are so many great places to do so. From the park to the beach to your own backyard, a well-packed picnic basket is the only secret ingredient you need to create...
It's summer, which means it's time to lounge in your backyard, hang out for BBQs, or just find a cozy spot to chill in your air-conditioned living room. The point is... you want to relax, but you also want a great summer drink. You might think you have to jump through...
Summer is not only a season of sunshine and BBQs. It's also the time of year for fresh, vibrant veggies to add a riot of color (and nutrients!) to your dishes. What's that you say? You're a seasoned chef? Perfect. You're someone who just discovered that your stove has...
