Pasta E Fagioli Soup
September 7, 2011
It’s getting to be that time of year again! I love when the weather changes gets a cooler at night and a touch frosty in the morning, but still warm during the day. If we are lucky, we get that through October. Perfect season to start making soups and stews again. Here is my take […]
Naan: Indian Flat Bread
September 3, 2011
Soft, chewy, flavorful. Perfect for sopping up curries and other flavorful sauces. Not something to whip up if you need to eat in 30 minutes. But so worth it if you have the time. This is an unusual bread for many reasons. First, is rises very slowly over a long period of time. Second, you […]

Caprese Bruschetta
September 2, 2011
Bruschetta is one of those things whose name and function have been a little skewed in the US. In Italy, bruschetta is any toasted bread topped with any topping.

Be your own Pizza Kitchen

We have to admit that we occasionally crave pizza on Friday nights. Even though our kids are usually going a hundred different directions, we are sometimes all home on Friday nights. And when we are, we like to party a bit by eating pizza and watching a movie together. Since we started making pizza at […]
Green Bean & Potato Curry
August 29, 2011
This is a great summer recipe. It call all be cooked on the stove, and it uses fresh garden produce. You can pair it with a meat curry or tandoori meats. I love the textures in this dish: the creamy potatoes, tender beans, and crunch of all the seeds is a treat for the […]
Indian Food: Warmth and Spice
August 26, 2011
I absolutely adore Indian food. Unfortunately, the closest Indian Restaurant to us is a good 90 minute drive. Our favorite restaurant is nearly four hours away. So, we had to figure you how to make Indian at home. Obtaining the spices and ingredients for a lot of my recipes can be tricky. When PapaChef is […]
Home Canned Roasted Pasta Sauce
August 16, 2011
Tomatoes are on! Finally! I got this idea from my friend Blondie, and have found that the idea is quite adaptable. It makes a delicious sauce. This is what you do: Spray large baking dishes or roasting pans with Pam. Blondie uses disposable roasting pans–less mess! Drizzle in a bit of extra-virgin olive oil. Start […]

- The Power of the Pass: Paris Edition September 16, 2022I’ve been to Paris four times before. Each time, they were quick trips–less than a week. It was all about seeing as much of the major sights as possible. The days were long, we pounded the cobblestones like crazy, and we stayed in budget hotels (with the exception of our 30 year anniversary–we stayed in …Damommachef
- Abstraction as a Window to the Divine September 5, 2022Churches in Europe are part historical monument, part art, part functional worship space, and part tourist attraction. My daughter Ellie keeps saying “I’ll go into any church,” and I couldn’t agree more. If they’ll let me in, I wanna take a look. We’ve been tracking down a number of churches off the beaten path (well, …Damommachef
