>This is without doubt the easiest and most flavorful tomato sauce to make. It’s easy (did I mention that already), it only takes a few minutes, and it’s versatile. Mostly, I use this on pasta, but it goes great with fish or chicken as well (as a braising sauce or as a condiment). There areContinue reading “>20 Minute Tomato Sauce”

>Ratatouille and Pasta (sans aubergine)
>My gardens are not doing that well this year…partly because of the crazy wet summer we’ve had, but also because of my lack of weeding and trimming (not to mention what the rabbits and slugs have pilfered)…it really is out of control. At any rate, I am finally starting to get a few things, andContinue reading “>Ratatouille and Pasta (sans aubergine)”

>Invasion Of The Giant Zucchini (Courgette)
>I hadn’t been in my backyard for about a week or so, and was overwhelmed at the sheer number of large zucchini growing…it’s amazing how many vegetables two zucchini plants will produce…they are literally taking over the teeny garden (and they were so cute and small when I pushed the seedlings into the ground lastContinue reading “>Invasion Of The Giant Zucchini (Courgette)”

Beans, Greens, and Other Good Things
Well, despite the somewhat chilly summer (and untamed weeds) the garden is producing fairly well. The first photo is what I picked today in the front yard (tomatoes are still green, though). An is often the case I made a one-pot meal…with vegetables this fresh it would be more difficult not to make it delicious.Continue reading “Beans, Greens, and Other Good Things”

Pasta with Chicken and Other Good Stuff
This is what I had for dinner tonight. It is as simple as it looks, and the flavors are delicious. It’s a basic stewing concept…ingredients can easily be interchanged to create an entirely new recipe. Anyhow this is how I made it: I heated olive oil and added a diced pepper, half an onion, andContinue reading “Pasta with Chicken and Other Good Stuff”

An Omelette and a Glass of Wine
Tonight for dinner I was able to pick my first bit of food from the garden (exciting)…mostly herbs, and a few scant leaves of spinach, but food none-the-less. I chopped everything rather coarsely, then sauteed it all in olive oil with garlic…making a sort of cross between sofrito and fines herbs. Then I added theContinue reading “An Omelette and a Glass of Wine”

Ragoût de Morues et de Pois Chiche
As is often the case, when I opened my refrigerator the other day I was surprised by the somewhat odd combination of ingredients…some days I feel as if cooking in my teeny home kitchen is like an exit exam at a culinary school: being handed a basket full of ingredients and having to make somethingContinue reading “Ragoût de Morues et de Pois Chiche”

My New Yogurt Maker (and its 3 pages of warnings)
I have been interested in naturally fermented foods for about ten years…since the first time my sourdough starter seemingly and magically came to life; I was so inspired I built a small brick oven in the backyard of a previous home. Since then I’ve moved on to sauerkraut (and kim chi), pickled vegetables, and yogurt.Continue reading “My New Yogurt Maker (and its 3 pages of warnings)”
