swimming RAMA.
There is a place called Jai Thai in the Fremont and Capital Hill neighborhoods of Seattle; almost every time I go, I order the Swimming Rama. Chicken smothered in coconut-laced peanut sauce, swimming on a bed of fresh spinach? Sign me up. Besides, then I don’t feel over-full from eating piles of carbs.
This is as good a time as any to insert this chicken recipe onto our… [more]
Mario Batali's Chicken with Cooked Wine
Actually, I prefer the Italian name: Pollo al Vin Cotto.
Mario Batali’s cookbook, Molto Italiano, has been the perfect resource for me while holed away in my little Florentine apartment. I am devouring all the Italian references and seasonal nuances, loving everything from the Italian subtitles to the descriptions of pasta and types of Italian flour (I use “00″ flour when I make focaccia).
I understand his affection for… [more]
my fashion faux pas meal
As in: no white shoes before Easter, loose the leg warmers and satin is out.
This meal is all wrong. I learned in cooking school that it is important to consider the combination of foods on a given plate. In other words, what are the varying textures? Are the colors contrasting? Do you have a protein, vegetable and starch? Have you styled it and stacked it? Are you presenting… [more]
I can do it in 3 ingredients…
I didn’t want to cook tonight. I had gone on an interview, cleaned the house, plugged away on the computer, hit the grocer, enjoyed the Florentine sunshine… and it was just ‘one of those nights.’
I am finding my rhythm includes one night a week where I like to pull a kitchen trump card. As in: tonight I want off. And here in Florence that usually means ‘lets get… [more]
my entree is glowing! (recipe: Coq Au Vin)
I had to giggle when I peeked at the photos of my latest entree. The sauce is so rich, so bright I thought it just might glow in the dark!
My primary goal in preparing dish after dish is, of course, producing glowing smiles and receiving glowing reviews. I came across this particular dish in Martha Stewart’s latest magazine (OCT 2007). I have been craving the opportunity to try… [more]
Peanut Saucied Chicken
Chicken should be so lucky.
This chicken is a GREAT meal to serve when you are looking for an alternative to the summer hamburger a la BBQ. If I invite a family over for dinner, kids and adults alike will rave about this sauce, giving erstwhile glances around the table before they scoop a much-too-large pile into their mouths.
You marinate the chicken, then grill it to perfection. I… [more]
buttermilk parmesan chicken tenders
So easy! And when the brain is going on fumes in deciding ‘what’s for dinner,’ this round of chicken is the perfect answer. In fact, as I write this, my 11 year old son is in the kitchen making this.
There are days… and sometimes weeks, where my kitchen repertoire and responsibilities go on autopilot. This is when I reach for my list of tried-and-true, never-be-blue dishes.

Chickens & Goats
…helped make this meal. Well, they did: chicken tenders are browned until golden, then goat cheese is rolled into pecan-laced balls to make this fine meal that graces our table. Hats off to the animals that feed us, directly or indirectly, meal after meal (this is where my wonderfully conscientious vegan friends cringe: love you guys!).
My mom and husband gave this entree a substantial nod, so it comes to… [more]
