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. Read more about my chronicles of trips and favorite associated recipes. Browse my travel recipes...

Air-Fried Tofu & Shiitakes + an Exercise Routine
Hello friends! Please excuse dinnerFeed’s prolonged quarantine. Although, thankfully, myself and family have to date remained healthy, not so this site. But, after much rehabilitation, she’s back! Tally ho! I pray that all of you and yours are safe and well. Tally Ho! More to follow soon. Coming out of this pandemic, I wouldn’t want … Full recipe post
Turmeric Pasta with a Roasted Cauliflower-Lentil Ragu
Must pasta insist we default to basil and oregano when seasoning the accompanying sauce? Does Indian cuisine demand we pay homage to proteins with basmati rice, potatoes or Naan? Break free the chains! Particularly now since Al Dente’s latest line of Piccola Pastas have hit market shelves to switch things up. My last post, Pastazanella, was inspired by … Full recipe post
Sweet Pea-Quinoa Fritters
Last week was a mother to digest. First the beloved fashion designer Kate Spade? And what’s to become of the global food scene without Anthony Bourdin to direct traffic? The man with such caustic, biting brilliance who had such a rich appetite for life? No one could even begin to replace this most empathetic of spokespersons for the world’s people, their … Full recipe post
Curried Lentil and Whipped Potato Casserole–a healthy take on Shepherd’s Pie.
Gad! What a week. A book launch + 24 hours in planes & airports + contracting purple diabunghi (some ghastly airborne virus) before arriving in Detroit delivered a woman ready to be scraped from the runway. Shakily recovered, healthy comfort food that MUST INCORPORATE BEANS is what my body screams for. This Curried Lentil and Whipped Potato casserole fits the bill. This take on a … Full recipe post
Transitional Autumn Soups
If seasons were named a color, Autumn might be Orange. Or some variation more enticing, a Benjamin Moore tinted swatch in the Fall family you might paint your room, say, Harvest Moon, Warm Sunglow, Pumpkin Pie. I recently received a comment from a reader who’d enjoyed a carrot soup I make. Memories of the lovely flavor profile–autumnal aromatherapy–lodged … Full recipe post
Super-Simple Spinach & Jarlsberg Quiche
A trivia question: Which decade embraced glam rock fashionistas skimpily clad in crushed velour hot pants and sequined halter tops, best observed shimmering and gyrating to acid rock in the purple haze of a lava lamp? If your guess was the seventies, that outfit may well have been your fashion statement. You may also recall … Full recipe post
A Tale of Potato Salad
Some folks at Irish Hills’ Sand Lake don’t take kindly to having their potato salad usurped by another at a family reunion. Ellen Dawson found out the hard way, and recounted her story to me over a bowl of (you guessed it) potato salad at her family’s last Fourth of July picnic. While slathering on sunblock and … Full recipe post
Sweet Cherry & Quinoa Pilaf
Michigan cherries are a fixture at many locals table in July. And after last year’s catastrophic harvest, we’ve good reason to celebrate this year’s bounty with the farmers. My palate’s a bit saturated with vinaigrette-based salads, so tonight I prefer more of a warm pilaf-styled side dish for the chicken I grilled. I took liberties … Full recipe post
Tomato-Mozzarella Bruschetta
Safe to say it’s summer yet? When shopping at the Kerrytown Farmer’s Market last week, I can finally believe it. Produce stands are in full swing, with berries, squash, mushrooms, greens and tomatoes begging to be put to good use. Yesterday I purchased a 7-ounce ball of Italian-imported buffalo mozzarella from Trader Joe’s. The classic pairing of … Full recipe post
Spring Vegetable Soup with Pistou
The extreme temperatures swinging this way and that keep us on our toes. One day we’re sucking down a fruit smoothie while searching for a swim suit, the next finds us adjusting the thermostat to accommodate the 20-degree dive, scrambling for a sweater, then gobbling down favorite comfort foods. Craving hot soup when last week’s chill set … Full recipe post
Mark Bittman’s Black Bean Burgers
I’m reluctant to quote statistical data linking patronage of fast food chains to high obesity rates; so much material is circumstantial, biased, and, therefore, skewed. Except data mined from the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health. Information gleaned from their studies regarding global populations, their eating habits, and relativity of fast food consumption to obesity … Full recipe post
Grilled Vegetables with Mediterranean Breadcrumbs
By whipping up a savory mixture of panko seasoned and sautéed with sun-dried tomatoes, olives, garlic and basil, I turned a simple dish of grilled vegetables into something more substantial. I selected eggplant and zucchini, but mix and match vegetables according to what is appealing to you. Bear in mind that the topping is crumbly, so a … Full recipe post
Watercress & Edamame Salad with Quinoa
Mother’s Day is this Sunday, and if you’re a mom, what’s in it for you? I don’t have the luxury of spending Mother’s Day with my kids, enjoying their pampering and attentions; in my world, that’s a sentimental notion. But this is a holiday set aside just for us mothers, so if plans aren’t made for … Full recipe post
Chickpea & Spinach Stir-fry
Here’s a recipe perfect for April – tax season. It’s inexpensive, and loaded with the vitamins and nutrients your body will require to increase your energy, so you can work harder and more efficiently to replenish your depleted bank count. I was inspired by a recipe in the May edition of Runner’s World magazine, which … Full recipe post
Coconut-Crusted Tofu with Pineapple Salsa
In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes. Who isn’t familiar with Benjamin Franklin’s oft-quoted statement, which still holds water 224 years later? And lest you be reminded, next Monday won’t vanish from the calendar. As sure as the sun rises in the east, on April 15 Uncle Sam … Full recipe post
