Spicy Turmeric Corn Chowder with Chard, Kale & Spinach

April 24, 2017 By Tracy Leave a Comment

On rainy days, sitting down in front of the fire with a bowl of thick, warm, comforting soup is such a treat.  This chowder, however, really is a meal in itself, and comes together pretty quickly.  If you want to add even more flavor, you can use fresh corn and use the cobbs to make a…

SPICY TUNA & OLIVE QUESADILLA

January 15, 2017 By Tracy Leave a Comment

This is such a yummy and quick quesadilla to make!  The crunchiness of the tortillas gives way to a sumptuous, creamy, soft and spicy filling.  Feels like it’s laden with calories, but actually is pretty lean on the calorie front.  I usually just slice it up and eat it like a pizza for lunch –…

SPICY RAINBOW SLAW

December 1, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

I just love colorful food, don’t you?  I was planning on making fish tacos, and wanted to make a spicy slaw to go with them.  I went to the local Asian supermarket, planning on buying some Chinese Leaf (Napa Cabbage).  When I got there, I just couldn’t find any.  Bummer.  So, I went to Safeway,…

Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho with fresh crab

November 20, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

This chilled summer soup is really gorgeous.  What makes it extra special is the use of heirloom tomatoes at the peak of their season.  Topping the soup with a few non-traditional ingredients will make this recipe the stunning standout at your next dinner party or special occasion meal.  Of course, any in-season variety of plump, ripe tomatoes…

MACADAMIA, PECAN & CARDAMON GRANOLA

November 17, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

I just adore homemade granola!  It is so easy to make, and much healthier and more cost-effective than anything you’ll find at the store!  There are so many different ways you can change it up, and I tend to vary the spices, nuts and sweeteners to get different textures and tastes.   Oats are so…

Marmite Cashews

November 15, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

When I return to the UK for a visit, one of the things I really love to do is to walk around the supermarkets and see what new products and flavor combinations have popped up since I was there last.  English food has a pretty bad reputation in the States – but in actual fact,…

Kerala Fish Curry

November 13, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

I was taught this curry when I did a cooking class with Manju’s Cooking Class in India.  It was a really fun day, and if you happen to find yourself in Bangalore with some free time, I highly recommend getting in touch with Manju and taking a few classes.

Best Baba Ghanoush

November 12, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

There are many different styles of Baba Ghanoush – and many different add-ins.   Levant (Eastern Mediterranean) styles often mix in diced onions or tomatoes, and Egyptian and Israeli styles include tahini, lemon and even hard-boiled egg.  Lebanese versions may include pomegranate seeds and/or syrup. Iranian styles often add cumin.  Some of the dishes are…

Making Thai Curry Pastes

October 31, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

Several years ago, my husband was lucky enough to do a 5-day cooking course in Thailand.  Although I wasn’t with him, he did impart all the paste and curry making know-how to me on his return.  Living in the Bay Area means that we have access to all the ingredients we need to continue making…

Paris

September 27, 2016 By Tracy Leave a Comment

  My daughter and I were lucky enough to snag inexpensive return flights from London to Paris on a visit to the UK recently, and after extensive research, decided we wanted to spend much of that time in Montmartre in the 18th Arrondissement.  It’s home to a  very trendy, food-oriented cafe-culture, which is exactly what we were…
