Last week, my husband (Richard) and I found ourselves on West 25th Street at an opening for a South African sculptor. How being on West 25th Street led Richard to suggest calling Reserve Cut on Broad Street (way East), I’ll never know. Anyway, we asked if we could arrive in […]

Chicken Tacos
I was inspired to make Chicken Tacos when I received a totally unexpected delivery of fresh and delicious tortillas and tostadas from Del Campo. Each bite tastes of pure corn. I happily munched on the tostadas while I made chicken tacos. I let the Del Campo company know how much […]
Tomato Salsa
Tomato Salsa is one of those products that is easily bought at the grocery store. You can buy really tasty mild, medium or sharp salsa and everyone will be very happy. I definitely recommend that route during the Winter. When it’s Summer and tomatoes are at their most flavorful, I […]
Salmon Wellington
The idea for Salmon Wellington popped into my mind when I was sent some Black Truffle Paté and Truffle Oil by Crafted Kosher- a company that is no longer in business. The term “Wellington” usually connotes tournedos covered with liver paté and puff pastry. I replaced the beef and liver […]
Chicken, Pineapple and Snow Pea Kebobs
This recipe for Chicken, Pineapple and Snow Pea Kebobs was born out out of my frustration over not having an outdoor barbecue. For years, I’ve watched my friends grill outside. My husband and I are sort of “vetted and bonded” professional guests. We don’t have a summer house. Many of […]
Cranberry Chicken
Cranberry Chicken is an easy recipe that is completely made on your stove top! You can use any canned cranberry sauce. Personally, I prefer Gefen because it has no extra ingredients-just cranberries, cane sugar and water. I also use Bartenura Balsamic Vinegar. Full disclosure, I was using these products before […]
Repurposing Leftovers
Sometimes you try a recipe and guess what-it doesn’t work. Or, it does work; but nobody likes it. Your dilemma is- what do you do with the leftovers? I’m not prone to throwing out food. My Friday night chicken with orzo- a one pot meal- was not a success with […]
Turkey Scaloppine with Lemon and Capers
I came up with the idea of turning Veal Piccata into Turkey Scaloppine with Lemon and Capers when a friend of ours decided that white meat turkey was the only meat he would eat. It turns out that the mild flavor of turkey is the perfect foil for the mixture […]
Mike’s Bistro
Last week, my husband and I made a last minute reservation at Mike’s Bistro located at 127 East 54th Street (between Park and Lexington) in New York City- 212-799-3911. It was our first time; but definitely won’t be our last! We walked into a lovely warm room with exposed brick […]
Passover Link List
It’s hard to believe that Passover is almost upon us. People who are staying home have begun their cleaning so that they can be ready to cook for the holidays. Everyone who observes is beginning to eat from their cupboards thereby reducing the amount of Chametz they have to throw […]
