As I mentioned in my last post, Brazilian Black Bean Soup is one of my favorite recipes from Mollie Katzen’s Moosewood Cookbook. It’s hearty and filling; served with a salad and a nice, crusty bit of bread, it makes a satisfying meal. But the best thing about it is the unexpected secret ingredient – orange [...]

Last week I bumped into a friend at the Borders Food aisle. I was picking up the Best Food Writing of 2009; his arms were weighed down with a stack of the latest cookbooks. As we browsed the culinary eye candy, talk turned to cookbooks that look great as opposed to those that actually are [...]

When I made a batch of preserved lemons a while back, this dish is where I envisioned using the first of them. I was introduced to the tagine concept after receiving a beautifully painted Tunisian pot as a wedding gift from our friends Melissa and Matt. The pot is called a tagine and is used [...]

Over the past several winters one of my go-to recipes has been Julia Child’s classic Boeuf Bourguignon. It’s classic for good reason.

As a naturally curious person, trying something new is one of my favorite pastimes. And what better time to do this than at the start of a new year? Ok, I’ll concede that I’m a bit late with this, but at the beginning of January I stashed away the Oregonian Food Day feature titled “100 [...]
Indian Red Lentil Soup

When I was a student at the University of Oregon, I spent a summer waiting tables at Poppi’s Anatolia, a Eugene institution of sorts. Poppi was born in Greece and raised largely in North Africa and London. Her restaurant, which featured a combination Greek and Indian menu, reflected the diverse flavors of her upbringing. Poppi’s [...]
