Shakshuka

Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a dish of eggs poached in a sauce of tomato, pepper, onion, and fresh herbs. It originated in northeast Africa in the time of the Ottoman empire, and has since become popular in the middle-east and really all over the world. It is 

Crepes Four Ways

Crepes Four Ways

Crepes were my father’s Sunday morning specialty. He would crank them out by the dozen, while all of us kids sat at the table, scarfing them down and battling each other to get the next one fresh out of the pan, stuffing ourselves until our stomachs hurt. Continue reading Crepes Four Ways

Green Chile Dip

Green Chile Dip

This green chile dip is the kind of appetizer that you can throw together in 5 minutes and people will rave about through the entire party–until it’s gone, at least. It is perfect as a game day snack or as part of a spread of

Biscuits with Green Chile Chorizo Gravy

For me, there is no better breakfast than a plate of hot, fresh biscuits covered in country gravy, with a couple of fried eggs on the side. It is comfort on a plate, and is also the Sunday morning special in our bus.

Watermelon Gazpacho

Watermelon Gazpacho

In the heat of summer, there is no better way to start a meal than with a nice watermelon gazpacho. A small serving of a sweet, cool soup with that incredible combination of summer flavors: watermelon and mint. This gazpacho is cool, refreshing, and screams healthy at you while you sip it–preferably with a mojito or mint julep on the side to counterbalance all those nutrients.

Tofu and Mushroom Adobo

Tofu and Mushroom Adobo

Adobo has often been argued to be the unofficial national dish of the Philippines. There are said to be as many ways to make adobo as there are Filipino households, though precious few of them are vegan. Like many coastal Asian cuisines, a large percentage
