My Travels
Taste buds prickle; wanderlust triggered. An Argentine barbecue (asado) enticed me to Patagonia. A friend gave me a vial of ground sumac berries--4 months later I was waking at dawn to the "Call To Prayer" in Turkey. Porcini to Tuscany, and so on.

Chicken Cutlets and Brussels Sprout-Chive Sauce with Al Dente Chia Fettuccini
I used no ordinary pasta to soak up the sauces of Chicken Cutlets with Brussels Sprout-Chive Sauce. I made this recipe with Al Dente’s latest creation; Bona Chia Spinach Fettuccini. According to the Al Dente pasta web site, “…chia (is) a rediscovered ancient grain and superfood. -twice the protein of any other seed or grain; -five … Full recipe post
Chicken Cutlets with Fried Capers and Tomatoes
It’s a snap making quickie meals with thin pieces of meat; a recipe for Asian Pork Cutlets with Asparagus and Turkey Cutlets with Almond Sauce are favorites. Although the following recipe is a bit more involved – more along the lines of a piccata – chicken cutlets simply sautéed with leftover veggies also makes a … Full recipe post
Proscuitto-Wrapped Chicken with Creamy Cheese & Balsamic-Date Sauce
This recipe jumped out at me; the salty chew of proscuitto combined with sweet dates, creamy cheese and chicken sounded enticing. Start to finish, the recipe suggests, should take only 30 minutes; easy elegance without much fuss. I found it in the “Everyday Easy” section of the May issue of Better Homes and Garden Magazine. I was … Full recipe post
Cheesy Chicken, Spinach and Red Onion Tortillas
Quesadillas are quick and easy to make, and are a marvelous vehicle for using up leftovers – the flat, flour or corn wraps reminding of a canvas on which to sketch a meal. Last year I made a similar recipe for Spinach, Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese quesadillas that is a bit more involved than this, but worth … Full recipe post
Clay Pot Chicken & Rice
“You call yourself a food writer and have never cooked in clay?” JC was teasing me, but I felt heat rising up my neck, and it wasn’t from a hot oven. (Which brings me to the holy grail of earthenware cookery: Never put a clay pot in a preheated oven; it may crack.) “When you’re … Full recipe post
Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore with Al Dente Pappardelle
Here’s an “I’ll taste even better tomorrow” recipe that will set your teeth on edge today. And if you pair it with Al Dente’s latest creation, their toothsome Garlic Herb wide noodle pasta, I’m guaranteeing you’ll leave the table one happy camper. A warning: Just because it’s a slow cooker recipe doesn’t mean it will only take … Full recipe post
Chicken Stir-fry with Shiitakes and Broccolini
I’m calling for a time-out. Whew. I can barely snap my jeans after the exigencies of last week. A couple of hours at the gym and a lightened up stir-fry is on the docket for today. This is a recipe drenched in flavor, not fat. It’s also a recipe that can be adapted to any … Full recipe post
Roast Turkey with Lemons and Sage Butter
Thanksgiving gets complicated when you have a large family, and all of our kids are in college or starting their own family’s. That’s why I host our Thanksgiving the weekend prior to Thanksgiving, to maximize attendance; then we have a small celebration on Thanksgiving Day proper. A favorite Thanksgiving tradition in our home is purchasing … Full recipe post
Northern India Cooking Class; Lesson 3: Chicken Biryani
Note: This is the third of seven recipe installments, which compose a classic Northern Indian Feast. Fine Indian cuisine is not noted for its brevity. The good news is that each of Achla Karnani’s recipes may be made well in advance, then reheated prior to serving. Or divide the recipes amongst your friends, staging your … Full recipe post
Turkey Cutlets with Apple Cider Sauce
Oh dear — we’re approaching the threshold of the holidays. A time of year when appetites know no boundaries and good judgment regarding fat intake is the exception, rarely the rule. Fortunately it’s also sweater season, which covers the extra inch padding my girth. So I climb into my baggy pants (which make me feel … Full recipe post
Grilled Chicken Sumac
I’m always on the lookout for interesting flavor combinations, especially if I have all the ingredients at the ready. I’ve got a spice jar with ground sumac berries I’d like to use. This is a marvelous lemony seasoning, commonly used in Turkish cuisine, but I’ve only used it when making the traditional tomato pita salad, … Full recipe post
Baked Chicken Thighs with a Crispy Anchovy Crust
Last year I made a delicious Mario Batali recipe for Grilled Chicken Thighs with a Panko-Anchovy Crust. Grilling the chicken with a loose crust was a bit cumbersome, so this year I decided to bake the chicken instead of grilling it. I’ve run out of panko and have no day-old bread to turn to crumbs … Full recipe post
Sautéed Chicken with Radishes in Mustard-Tarragon Sauce
Despite global cultivation, there is something uniquely satisfying and primal about eating foods in sync with their natural rhythm. These days it’s easier than ever to — ping — oops…excuse me… (it’s a Tweet from the Kerrytown Farmers Market). Hmm…the farmers are selling tiny strawberries, radishes, beautiful peonies and beet greens as I write these very … Full recipe post
No-Burn Barbecue Chicken
I just saw a mass of foreign matter in the sky. It was glowing, pulsating in some other-worldly shade of egg yolk yellow. A UFO? No wait…is this what they call….the sun? Perhaps it’s a dream. But I’ll buy some chicken for the grill… just in case. Barbecued chicken - my favorite kind with the skin … Full recipe post
