Citrus-Soy Fish with Soba Noodles I love using halibut or salmon fillets for this dish. Your timing really depends on how thick your fish is. If you are using fish 1/2" thick, you'll cook 2 minutes each side. For thicker fish, like a salmon steak, it...
Caption me! What the hell am I saying??? (no, your screen isn't dirty - I had to snag that off my TV by taking a pic of the video. The smudges? I was watching Anthony Bourdain on TV and was either practicing kissing him like a lovestruck teen or trying the new scratch...
(click photo above for the series of photos - there are about a dozen photos that didn't make the cut, leading up to the money shot) I eat most anything, and especially take a liking to items of food that normally cause a crinkly nosed "eeewwww" from most, as...
So, you curious about how I started teaching cooking classes? It wasn't that long ago, 3 years ago to be exact. While this published in my weekly food column in Tampa Tribune, I wanted to share the column with you guys here on the blog as well. The point of sharing...

Ginger, Coriander and Orange Braised Chicken Inspired by flipping through Nigel Slater's Appetite which has been sitting on my desk for the past 2 weeks because I can't stop looking at it. I love his style of cooking - "a small handful of crabmeat per person" "ginger...
I’ve never been interested in cooking traditional American BBQ, mainly because I do not like what I cannot control, and in this particular case, the BBQ grill is outside of my domain with a fat “trespassing renders marriage contract null and void“ sticker on the...
Opportunity Cost...Revised... I've written about opportunity cost of eating out last year, and re-wrote the post with a brand new recipe for my newspaper food column this week... Before we had children, my husband and I used to eat out no fewer than 3 times a week....
If there’s one thing that I absolutely cannot stand, it’s wasting vibrant, perky produce. But when a recipe calls for only 1 tbl of fresh, minced herb and the store only sells them in gargantuan bunches, my palms sweat as I begin planning my week’s menu all around...
I made Oishii Eats Vietnamese Summer Rolls (Goi Cuon) with Cashew Nut Dipping Sauce this morning on television on ABC7! They came out fantastic and the crew devoured them seconds after the camera shut off. BTW, if you happened to catch the TV segment, the host...
Chinese New Year is coming up in just a couple of weeks! It will be the Year of the Rat! I'll be sharing some of my favorite Chinese dishes with you - easy meals that you can whip up for the holiday. Chinese are big on food symbolisms - and some of the references are...

Wow, I can't believe how many of you made the No Knead Sticky Pecan Caramel Cinnamon Rolls! As promised, I'm not going to leave you hanging with extra dough in the refrigerator. Here's your recipe for No-Knead Nutella and Roasted Hazelnut Challah from the book,...
Do you know what I call smart? Taking something from "works awesome" (No-Knead Bread) to the level of "KICK-ASS." Which is exactly what authors of the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois have done. Oh yeah, and I hold them...
In response to the latest buzz about the lawsuit against Deceptively Delicious author, Jessica Seinfeld, I'm launching my own Steamy campaign against the entire concept of hiding vegetables in your kids food. But all in good humor. Seinfeld's recipes included stuff...
With a photo like that, do I really need any words?! I firmly believe that in order to start off the New Year properly, one must have chocolate. And lots of it. Janet, wonderful customer of my husband's company, brought these Chocolate & Toffee Barks...
Before we tie a big, fat bow on this year’s box of ups, down and go-arounds, I‘d like to give props to Spam, the wondrous food that started my relationship with Creative Loafing (the newspaper that I write a weekly food column for) earlier this year when I dared...
Andrew and I arrived home safely late Monday night. Our trip to Los Angeles was full of Mom's home cooking - we had Chinese hot pot, fried garlic chili crab, chicken noodle soup with rice noodles, homemade XO chili sauce, and Hainan steamed chicken. Oh it was heavenly...
Last night, I whipped up this absolutely mouth-watering Garlic Butter Shrimp recipe, and let me tell you, it was a hit! Imagine juicy shrimp bathed in a rich and flavorful mix of fresh garlic and butter, each bite a perfect harmony of taste. What makes this dish a...
When I married my husband, I knew I was also marrying into generations of family holiday traditions. In fact, I think it was written in the marriage contract, squeezed right between not touching his BBQ grill and promising to love him even when he’s 80 years old and I...
