This week's French Fridays recipe is one for a pork roast, flavored with some Pan-Asian inspired ingredients. I associate mangoes with Australia where I first tasted truly wonderfully perfumed mangoes fresh from the tree. The sauce also includes soy, honey and garlic. The original recipe also included lychees, but I wasn't at the right market … Continue reading ffwd – pork roast with mangoes

Cranberry Spice Cake
Before I'd ever really heard of Dorie Greenspan, before I had seen the cookbook Around my French Table, or been introduced to French Fridays with Dorie, there was this cake. This amazing cranberry spice cake that I found in Bon Appetit magazine and it was Dorie's recipe. Look how gorgeous the official photo looks! Well, I've been baking … Continue reading Cranberry Spice Cake
beatrix’s red kuri soup (an around my french table recipe)
Red kuri soup. Red curry soup?… actually, both sound delicious. I love, love squash soups. I have a couple that I often make during the fall and holidays, so I was excited to see one in Dorie Greenspan’s cookbook around my french table. But when I read the recipe, I was a bit disconcerted – I’d never heard of or seen a red kuri squash. It sounded great – no peeling? really? Unfortunately no picture of the squash in question either.
Fast forward a year (!), and when I was in one of our local markets – there it was! a sign for red kuri squash! But… none to be found in the bin. There’s a Whole Foods in my neighborhood, so I thought that since the squash is actually available in the US (at Bashas no less!), it’s probably there. On my trip in, I did find the…

And cooking through an entire cookbook as a project!! The following year, I started blogging myself when I … Continue reading A French Thanksgiving – 2009
CCC – October Recipes – Brussels, Beets and Beautiful Pumpkin
October is one of my favorite months - perhaps my actual favorite. Not just because it's my birthday month, but because I think it's the perfect month of the year to travel anywhere in the world, it's either spring or fall wherever you are, so it's usually beautiful and the weather is inviting. Plus the … Continue reading CCC – October Recipes – Brussels, Beets and Beautiful Pumpkin
