I set off the fire alarm making this. It’s not as bad as it sound though, if the fire department had been summoned it might have been. You see this is not your run of the mill tomato based Gazpacho, but a tangier Tomatillo-Pepita Gazpacho and it’s green! As you might have guessed the vibrant […]

Asian Steak and Spinach Salad
Today’s recipe comes from Chef Extraordinaire Cat Cora. I waxed poetically about my adoration for Cat’s creations in a previous post , and after making this salad I am ready to hijack a radiostation and broadcast my love for her recipes through the medium of syndicated sound. Lucky for folks who don’t like talking about food […]
Grilled Merguez Sandwich
Generally I am not a big fan of lamb, and when a recipe calls for it I usually sub in beef, but when it comes to sausage lamb is the only way to go. I am of course talking of Merguez Sausage a North African specialty that in my opinion is the pinnacle of ground […]
Do you like Sriracha?
The May issue of Bon Appetite was a bit of a let down after April’s Italian issue (LOVE at first sight), and I initially found the recipes a tad on the dull side. However I could not have been more wrong in my initial assessment, and I’m happy that my habit of opening a BA whenever i’m […]
Mushroom and Spinach Risotto
Hi lovely leggycooks followers, and apologies for my somewhat drawn-out absence. I have been up to my eyeballs in CV’s and resumes, but I realized that despite my ever growing determination for a new work space I can’t ignore the other things in my life that enhance my daily existence. So I’m back to ruminate on the wonderfulness of […]
Lasagna!
I LOVE lasagna. Tender lasagna noodles layered with a homemade sauce, creamy ricotta, and finished with a sprinkling of Mozzarella and Parmesan oh so good! I can’t imagine a much better combination of textures and flavors. I have several other lasagna recipes and even a tortilla lasagna which are all tummy rubbing good, but this […]
North African Chicken Stew
Hello and Happy 2011 (16 days late)! Today, in the New Years tradition of eating right and getting back into shape I’m starting off the year with a delicious and nutritious African Stew. I was SO excited to make this for several reasons; chief among them that I got to break in my brand spanking […]
Salmon-Topped Hash
Hello all! Sorry for my unannounced leave of absence over the latter half of September. Life got exponentially more hectic in the last two weeks, and I didn’t spend much time engaging in many of the activities that I normally do. While things are not completely back to normal I am happy to report that […]
Bulgur Wheat and Italian Sausage Stuffing
Now I know the above photo does not paint the most impressive picture but holy cow this was good! I initially made this Bulgur Wheat and Sausage Stuffing as a filling for cabbage rolls, but peeling cabbage leaves off whole is far easier said than done so we tossed the rabbit food aside and just […]
Pollo Adobado Con Guacamole y Salsa Fresca
INCREDIBLE or more appropriately ¡increíble! This dish was soooo good that I’m getting hungry just writing this post. What prompted this meal was a trip to the Yucatan Peninsula about two months ago that I took along with Brian, his brother David, and his brothers girlfriend Jamie. While we were there we had some yummy […]
