MUSTARD CHICKEN WITH RADISHE If you have half an hour to spend on dinner, this is a brilliant way to use the time. A new take on a chicken dinner is always welcome, and I love how spicy and clever this dish is. The combination of mustard and radishes will wake up your tastebuds, though I love radishes in any and all forms. (My personal favorite is radishes with butter and sea salt on toasted brioche – heaven!) And how […]
BLUEBERRY GRAPEFRUIT MUFFINS These muffins have a lot going on – blueberries, grapefruit juice (with a little pulp thrown in for texture), poppy seeds, and yogurt. I was feeling experimental, and this is one of those recipes that makes me think I should follow my instincts more often. It’s breakfast in a muffin tin: juice, fruit, and carbs, and there’s no need for butter because they already have so much flavor. These were gone in a few seconds, though I […]

I love both of these sandwiches: they have such a rich variety of ingredients that you are never left feeling as if you […]

It’s easy to get tired of salmon unless you keep changing up the accompanying flavors that enhance it. A little miso and soy sauce, a big squeeze of lime juice – or, in this case, a splash of whiskey – takes the most ordinary slab of fish and turns it into a delicacy […]
HONEY BLONDIES If you follow this blog regularly you know there are some foods I can never get enough of – ginger, blackberries, meringue, chocolate – and honey. Hmm…that could be a really interesting recipe, with just those ingredients. Somehow I’ve never made a blondie recipe for a post, and I love this one because the honey adds such depth of flavor to what can be a bit of a blah vanilla brownie (if a brownie can be vanilla). Honey […]
