I am an artist at heart so a lot of the things I love to do, I love to have a visual component that is compelling. With this soup, the black beans stand out like punctuation in the yellowish backdrop. I think it’s the sesame oil that makes this recipe pop and not...
I love to serve corn chowder with what my mother called a Famous Sandwich: toasted bread with a dab of mayo, lettuce, tomato & cucumber; you have to cut on the diagonal and if you happen to keep toothpicks with frilly tops on hand, this would be the perfect...
This is less of a recipe and more of the realistic food prep in a busy household! For the month of May, between travel and family and work commitments, I wanted to prepare a nice dinner/soup but found myself short on time. SO! I offer here instead a salad with a...
I make this one just like I make my Chicken soup, but instead of using a whole chicken or chicken legs, I use turkey legs. They are bigger in general and you do not need as many. You can also make this soup using scraps of turkey from a carved bird after Thanksgiving....

Whether you find your veggies at the store, a farmer’s market or your garden, one thing in summer abundance is cabbage. Cabbage---green or red or Chinese---is often easy to find and affordable. But what to do with all that cabbage? Here’s my favorite recipe, loaded...
