Couscous with Parsley Yogurt Sauce, Spicy Acorn Squash, Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpeas

This dish is my entry in Savvy Savorer’s recipe contest using Greek God’s Yogurt. I really do love the Greek God’s products. They are a small company based in Seattle, started by three young guys who wanted to bring the true …

Well, sorry about the cell phone pic folks. My Dad is in town, and we were wandering around the wilds of Ballard when he declared his hunger. Immediately my mental food tracking GPS went in to gear, and said "Senor Moose!! I haven’t been to Senor Moose in far too long!"

The Moose is one of …

Chef Janine over at Cafe Flora showed me the other day how to cut sections of citrus fruit properly. Technically these are called "supremes" as in in "we need to cut grapefruit supremes". I’ve tried to do them before and always had a lot of trouble, with bits of pith leftover and broken segments and …

I've been hearing for awhile about this product called isomalt, which is a modified sugar. It has the interesting property that it can melt and form into thin sheets like caramel without turning brown.

This simple sauce is similar to a vegetarian version of Vietnamese nuoc cham, suitable for serving with spring rolls or or pouring over a rice bowl. I’ve been wanting to find a good way to get a strong flavor of kaffir lime leaf, and this really worked out great.

Supposedly they have a lot more taste buds than the rest of us, and therefore can both appreciate some foods more but also may find other strong tastes unbearable. Anyhow, I remember reading that there was now an over-the-counter …

Just a quick note – Keren over at Savvy Savorer put up videos of everyone at the last Seattle blogger brunch talking about their dishes. Thanks Keren! While I’m babbling about white beans (did I really say something about Moorish influence?) you can hear my daughter repeatedly asking for water. Bad daddy.

Lemony White Beans With Grilled Onions

I made this for a Seattle food blogger brunch put together by the Keren Brown, aka The Savvy Savorer. She told me her husband was making his lachooch (a delicious, slightly spongy Yemenite flatbread that reminded me a lot of Ethiopian injera, only thicker). I can’t find anything about it …

Farro with Collard Greens and Bacon Salt

Yep, you heard me right. Bacon Salt. It has been all over the blogosphere lately, but I had no idea it was vegetarian until Keren brought some to give away to our last food blogger get together. I shouldn’t have been surprised, as processed bacon bits are a soy …

I’ve been promising a better picture of the winter green dumplings, and the review in the Seattle paper finally got me to drag the good camera in and do it. Our sous chef, Lisa, stood the chives up in it to make it "3D"! She’s right, it helped the picture a lot.
