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.

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, [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
