My Mini Onigiri Garden
I was in some Onigiri freaky mood lately, making these Japanese Rice Balls non-stop. I’ve been getting lots of “orders” for this popular Japanese dish. This is another addition to my Onigiri collection, for a group of my students this time. In my garden, there’re Salmon Wasabi, Spicy Shrimp (hay bee hiam), Green Tea with Plum & Cherry Tomato with Sweet Prune.
Bewitching Strawberries Salad
Besides the bright red colour, I like Strawberries for their amazing nutritional facts; their antioxidants, vitamins & minerals help fight diseases. Most of all, they’ve anti-aging properties :) My Garden Glory consists of: Red & Green Oak leaves, Red Coral, Coriander, Parsley, Dill & Baby Chard. I’ve also added Sun Flower Seeds for some crunch.
Cilantro Pesto
Cilantro Pesto is for all of us in the Cilantro Lovers Club! I am dolloping this on everything that won’t move. From the original site: Once you make this herby deliciousness, what should you do with it? Here are some ideas: boil or roast some new potatoes and then toss some of this pesto with them spoon a bit on top of some creamy polenta slather a bit on a toasted piece of Bruschetta stir some into cooked r…
Fresh Corn Salad with Spicy Shrimp and Tomatoes
This stunning salad is so summer. Made with fresh tomatoes, corn and bell pepper, it almost made me forget that it’s 99 degrees outside today. I love the bright colors. My grandmother always said that you should try to always make sure your table is multi-colored – never put out a meal that is monochromatic! It’s dressed with a zesty mixture of lime juice, vinegar, olive oil and chile pep…
Poulet Vol-au-Vent
The other evening Filippo and I dined at a marvelous new restaurant in downtown Sarasota, Brasserie Belge. The evening was marvelous from start to finish; starters were champagne and lobster croquettes, main was muscles for Filippo while I chose Vol-au-Vent and we finished with a shared Dame Blanche! I got to thinking ahead to dinner parties we have scheduled and wondered if the Vol-auVent would be some…
Frozen Crescent Rolls
This is one of my favorite bread recipes because it can be made in bulk and weeks ahead of time. It’s especially nice for the holidays when your schedule is so busy – simply make these rolls when you have time and stick them in the freezer until the big day! It can also be split into multiple freezer bags to be used for different occasions. They are so soft and buttery that people just can’t hel…
Roasted Butternut Squash
Roasting vegetables brings out great flavor in them… They are a great, simple side dish, too. For things like this squash, I like to roast it ahead of time, then use it in salads or broil with brown sugar on top for a quick side dish. You can do the same thing with sweet potatoes, or other winter squash. 1 large butternut squash (or similar winter squash) Salt/Pepper/Olive Oil Optional spices: cumin…
How to peel ginger root
If you ever cook with ginger, you know how much of a difference it can make to use fresh ginger root instead of that dried powder stuff. The tricky part about using fresh ginger, though, is peeling it. It’s so bumpy and irregular that if you try to use a knife to cut away the skin and knobs, you’ll end up left with a small rectangle of gingery goodness and a lot of waste on the cutting board. That is, of c…
