A diary of recipes from the time I've spent in my home kitchen over the past several years. Sunday, December 1, 2013. Sirloin Steak with Onions and Peppers. This is a very quick and easy dish to make although it took me a couple of practice runs on it to get it to what I considered to be perfect - 'perfect' being an approximation of the steak-pepper-onion grinders I remember from Boston in the '70s. We had this with brown rice and a salad although it would be fantastic on a roll with condiments. We just ...

A diary of recipes from the time I've spent in my home kitchen over the past several years. Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Yeah it's been a while, I know. I've been busy working on the website for the cooking classes I'm planning to resume later this year. Meanwhile, this soup was such a hit over the holidays I had to post it immediately so that friends would have a chance to try it themselves. Simmering the soaked chickpeas. Garlic and rosemary to flavor the cooking oil. So the the resulting broth is clear.

A diary of recipes from the time I've spent in my home kitchen over the past several years. Monday, March 3, 2014. Roasted Sardines with Herbs. Fresh-caught sardines from Monterey Bay were in the market this week so I just had to get some for a dinner. This dish is based on one I found online from Chris Cosentino (owner of the San Francisco restaurant Incanto. The published recipe uses the sardines as part of a larger dish but I extracted them out to stand alone and changed it up a bit to my own taste.

A diary of recipes from the time I've spent in my home kitchen over the past several years. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Chicken Livers with Onion and Sage. This recipe is based on a dish from The Country Cooking of Italy. By Coleman Andrews, a very intriguing cookbook I came across on a recent visit to Powell's Books. In Portland, OR that I am slowly but surely working through. The original recipe uses the dish as a topping for bruschetta but this take uses it as a sauce for spaghetti. Timing is a little tri...

A diary of recipes from the time I've spent in my home kitchen over the past several years. Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Pezzetti di Cavalfiore (batter-fried cauliflower). And was excited to try it as apparently it is a very typical Roman dish. Spoiler alert - it came out beautifully with an amazingly addictive flavor. Water added to the yolks. First phase of the batter after the water was added. Whites folded into the batter. Heating the fry oil. 2 eggs, separated. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Add the wa...

Among the multitude of pecan pie recipes, I decided to go with one from John Besh. 3 eggs, beaten.
