If you are one of the 38% Americans who decide to lose weight after New Year, you are probably smack in the middle of the buyer’s remorse period: the enthusiasm and hot-headedness of the first week of intense dieting and exercising had already worn off; you’ve toned down your exercise intensity, but you are still […]
LAST SEEN IN MY KITCHEN ...
Leftovers Glorified — Curried Chicken Pie
Every time I make a batch of curative chicken stock, I end up with a pile of practically inedible chicken meat. The main objective of stock making is the beautiful broth, so everything that goes into the pot becomes merely a source of the minerals and flavor. Sadly, at the end of the process all […]

Good Things Must Be Shared
Today’s post is about a recipe that I found randomly a few years ago. It was quoted from a book The New Spanish Table by Anya Von Bremsen. While I don’t own this particular book, I do own another volume by the same author, which I absolutely adore. It’s called Please To The Table, and […]
