Apple and Pomegranate Crêpes
Start with sliced apples, mix them with tangy pomegranate seeds, sauté everything with a fresh Vanilla bean and douse that with Apple Liqueur! You could eat this with a spoon or over ice cream – or better yet- use it as a filling for All-Purpose Crêpes. There is no way […]
Rice Stuffing with Pearl Onions and Dried Fruit
What a delicious alternative to bread stuffing! The caramelized onions, dried apricots and cranberries make each mouthful a treat. I use this vegan and gluten free stuffing with turkey, Cornish hens or just as a side dish with roast chicken or even fish. Not eating meat these days, then roast […]

Some of my fondest food memories are of savoring Crêpes Suzette being flamed at the table at a wonderful French restaurant. I enjoyed the elegance of the set up: the lightly cooked crêpes, the butter, the fresh orange juice, the orange zest, the sugar and the orange liqueur all lined […]

Del Campo Chicken Tacos
One day, the doorbell rang and there was a totally unexpected delivery from Del Campo– the most delicious, fresh, tortillas (large and small) and tostadas you have ever had. Each bite tastes of pure corn. I happily munched on the tostadas while I made chicken tacos. I let the Del […]
