AWE = Art, Wellbeing and Edibles.
I recently made this dish for a wedding I catered, and as I have been known to do I included something on a menu that I hadn’t exactly done before but it sounded like a good combination of ingredients. Fortunately for everyone this assumption …
Years ago we used to organize an all-day street festival called Live on Winnebago, and one of my roles was to feed the numerous bands that were playing during the day and night. Many of them were on tour across the country or world, and that …
. The idea is not to just find ways to substitute dairy, but to have a dish be whole and delicious on its own. To make good food. The role of ricotta in lasagna is to give some creaminess, some protein, and a mild …
I used to cook with tofu like I might cook a fish. Tofu is somewhat bland and fleshy but with a delicate texture…so I started using it as a blank slate for other flavors. This concoction became a Deli sandwich, served with a Lemon …
Last fall we bought an extra turkey —we love turkey and can’t figure out why we don’t eat it all year round. This week we cooked it because it’s been so cold and rainy that the idea of a warm oven and turkey aromas …
My sister made this dish for our sister’s weekend and we devoured it—she said that even her finicky teenage boys love it. The chicken makes it a meal but I’ve also made it without the chicken and it was scrumptious. When my sister started …
I know I keep saying this…but this soup really truly was one of the favorites at the Deli. The silky broth texture was such a treat. My friend Kristen shared many a great recipe with the Deli and Hmong Market Soup was no …
Here is the second part to the GF Samosa post I did last year after the Edible Alien Theatre performance: “In Profundus“. The first post was the vegetarian version and here is the beef option we served on these awesome Rorschach inkblot triangular plates that …
. How else other than combining it with the sequel to the story would I get you to look at a post about Liver and Onions?? . The final morning at the Sandstone cabin arrived so we packed up our supplies and readied them to …
We’ve been preparing for our annual North Woods trip, making lists and checking them twice, scurrying around doing last minute tasks. We’ve also been doing snow dances every day…and with this dry weather it looks like more dancing is in order if we hope …
. Party treats! Tasty tidbits with the bonus of striking colors —-Red, Green and White—-these could be perfect for an end-of-December Holiday party, or for celebrating the colors of the flags from Italy, Belarus, Algeria, Burundi, Madagascar, Mexico, Lebanon, Iran, Oman, Hungary or Bulgaria! …
. Again I bring you an idea that is not new but is always worth revisiting. This is a great fall dish and could be an alternative side at the Thanksgiving table—sweet and savory, hearty and warming, I think you’ll enjoy it. Wild …
. This is an incredible time of year. The nights are cool enough for sleeping, the mornings are crisp then give way to a warmth that does not bake my brain but makes me actually want to soak up the sun. The Farmers Markets overflow …
. . Smoked tofu?!? Remember one of my rules of thumb…”If there is a technique that works for one thing, it might work on other things.” If you can smoke salmon then you can smoke tofu, yes? Yes. The idea of smoking tofu was first …
Lettuce wraps have given me such relief in the summer months—I can eat cold meals, gluten free. Lettuce is a vehicle, an edible cupping tool that gets the filling from the plate into my mouth, without bread. I have also tried other fillings like …
I often am stumped about what to eat for breakfast. Though it is easy and I have it sometimes, cereal is not my cup of tea…I crave that dose of protein and oil to get me through until lunch without a blood sugar crash. …
I love Fried Rice because Fried Rice loves miscellaneous veggies. Cleaning out your refrigerator? Perfect. Leftover rice? Perfect. I used to make my Fried Rice with San-J Teriyaki Sauce, San-J Szechuan Sauce, and Tamari. Then came the day when gluten was no longer …
Today there has been very little physical activity as I begin the process of recovering from the marathon flurry of scrambling to prepare for our Edible Alien Theatre show “In Profundus”. It is incredible what can happen when there are deadlines, especially when …
Too many times I have suggested to a client an interesting idea, and as it is leaving my mouth my brain is shouting, “Stop, you crazy woman! You don’t know how to do that!!” For example: My Mouth “‘Oh yes, we could serve …
If you live in an area where winters are chilly and you have access to local produce, then you know that Spring = Eggs and Greens. (In some circles Spring also means Maibock Beer, but that’s another story…) . So if Spring …
