This month I have two selections from Hugh Acheson’s cookbook, A New Turn in the South: Southern Flavors Reinvented for Your Kitchen (affiliate code) – Grilled Fish with Hot Sauce Buerre Blanc and Saffron Braised Celery. My husband, Paul, came back from a fishing trip in Mexico with nearly two coolers worth of California yellowtail [...]

The folks at The Wine Bar recently hired me to create a recipe inspired by their wines. I told my contact there that I love Malbecs, Zinfandels and was open to a suggestion on a white wine, since I hadn’t made up my mind to create a beef or seafood dish. Soon a package arrived [...]
Fish tacos are one of my favorite foods, which was why I was so excited that my friend and guest blogger, Holly Clegg, offered to share her recipe for Fish Tacos with Southwestern Cole Slaw. Not only is this a terrific meal for Lent, it’s great for entertaining, too. Plus, if you have picky kids [...]
It’s not often that I find a recipe on a brand’s website that I fall in love with, but this one from Hunt’s Signature Recipes – Shrimp and Rice Skillet – is certainly an exception. It reminds me a little bit of Spanish rice or a New Orleans style rice and shrimp dish. Even better, [...]
If you aren’t a fish fan because, well, it’s too fishy, you should give tilapia and this recipe from Hunt’s – Crispy Breaded Tilapia – a try. First of all, tilapia is very mild tasting and fairly inexpensive. I buy the big frozen packs of it at my local discount warehouse store at a terrific [...]
Hyman’s Seafood is THE restaurant to go to when you visit Charleston, SC according to everyone we talked to from neighbors to coworkers. It’s very family friendly. The service is terrific. The amount of food you get is enormous and delicious. And Hyman’s even has a gluten free menu (just ask)! From upper left going [...]
For those of you unfamiliar with cioppino, it’s a fish stew originating in San Francisco. Cioppino has its roots in Portuguese and Italian seafood stews and is considered an Italian-American dish. My husband loves ordering this when we eat out, so I decided to make a batch up for Christmas Eve since it’s a tradition [...]

That’s why I’m sharing this delicious recipe for Fish Tacos with Corn Salsa from Everyday [...]
With the summer Olympics being in London this year, my family and I have been enjoying British favorites like Shepherd’s Pie and gluten free hard cider. Unfortunately, traditional British dishes like fish and chips are very unhealthy – fried and full of unhealthy fats. Chef Jill and Chef Jet have a lot of work cut [...]
Here’s another healthy recipe from International Olive Council. This one would make a wonderful appetizer for a retro Mad Men themed party, don’t you think? (So would their Chicken Mango Skewers recipe that I posted yesterday, now that I think of it.) You can find these better-for-you recipes and many more, as well as a [...]
Seafood gumbo is yummy, but not so good for you even though it’s filled with healthy ingredients like crab, shrimp and vegetables. However, it’s the flour-based roux, dark chicken meat, sausage and rice that add on the fat and calories. In this week’s episode of Recipe Rehab, Chef Aida goes head to head with Chef [...]
Here’ a fish dish for Memorial Day that features San-J’s Orange Sauce. I love the idea of serving warm fish on a bed of orange and fennel salad, don’t you? Swordfish with Orange Fennel Salad By Carol Kicinski of Simply Gluten Free Makes 4 servings Ingredients 4 – 6 ounce swordfish fillets 1/4 cup plus [...]
It’s been over a month since I’ve been back from Hawaii. I still miss the food, especially the fish dishes. I bought two wonderful cookbooks to see if I could replicate some of the recipes, but so many Hawaiian ingredients aren’t available on the mainland or the dishes were too complicated for a quick weekday [...]
One summer bash I’ll never forget was a coworker’s crawfish boil party. Dennis and his roommates had 100 pounds of crawfish flown into Denver from Louisiana for the party and kept it in the bathroom tub on ice along with a few lobsters a few guests had brought. Each guest was asked to bring beer [...]
Earlier this month, Sea Cuisine sent me to Honolulu, Hawaii to report on the local seafood scene. You can see my reviews of local restaurants, read about my visit to the Honolulu Seafood Auction, and what I thought about a real Hawaiian luau here. I had a great time and I hope you enjoy reading [...]
