Wednesday night and time to get dinner on the table. A simple little pasta, 45 minutes, start to finish: mushrooms, zucchini and cherry tomatoes in a light cream sauce topped with prosciutto and your choice of pasta. Cream makes everything better.
Last weekend we hosted a little foodie-fondue-winey-cheesy soiree. Started with a sexy grilled sandwich, then dipped into a cheesy fondue and ended on a sugar high with a Chipotle Chocolate Soufflé. This is our pimped fondue, super easy, super cheesy and budget friendly.
The Smoked Gouda Duck Confit Grilled Cheese is a standard casual entertaining food around here. One of Chef B’s little treasures; it’s savory and smoky with just a hint of salty, buttery toasted-ness, and always a big hit. Now it can be a big hit in your house.
The Pulled Pork Po Boy is like spicy, saucy bacon-y goodness on a nice chunk of French bread. In Louisiana, Po Boy sandwiches come in a couple different flavours; there’s fried, featuring battered shrimp, crawfish or oysters and then there’s pulled, featuring pork, cooked low, slow and saucy.
Cold rice vermicelli salad with bright fresh veg, dressed in a lime, rice wine vinaigrette, (totally delish) chicken satay, finished with peanut sauce. Authenticity and intensity. Eat goooooood.
Take a buttermilk waffle and make it into a Buttermilk Black Pepper Bacon Waffle, coat it with butter, melt a half cup of cheese between two slabs of bacon-y divoted goodness… that my friends is a Bacon Waffle Grilled Cheese Sammich.
Wild chanterelle mushroom soup; dried chanterelle mushrooms in a roasted vegetable broth and finished with truffle oil. Dark, sweet, lusty and… unrestrained.
Enoki Phở – in a chanterelle enriched, clear vegetable broth. Delicate, Asian, light.
It’s cold and flu season; sniffles and sore throats and sick days. Some nasty little bug bit me hard this weekend which meant cough syrup and pajama time. Nothing quite so sexy as a fever. Oh yea, I’m hot Baby! *cough, cough, cough* Time for a big bowl of nature’s remedy… chicken soup.
Recipe by reader request. The fruit of the sea… coconut-ed. So easy. Try it at home. Compliments of The Thirsty Turtle, Bananarama Dive’s Eco Friendly Resort – West Bay Beach, Roatan Honduras.
