The very idea of plum ice cream makes me think of child-like optimism, dreaminess, and all things lovely, sweet and good. Plum ice cream belongs in the land where nothing bad happens, people are sweet and super friendly, and everyone eats ice cream for breakfast. The good news is that plums are “purple food”good for…

Arrosticini Abruzzesi – Skewered Marinated Lamb Tidbits
Today we visit Abruzzo, and prepare a dish the shepherd’s made on their outside campfire. Looking at the boot, Abruzzo is the lower half in central Italy. Lamb is the signature meat of this region. This is yet another simple recipe where the time is in the waiting, and the taste is in the fat…
Purple Cauliflower Parties On
As an artist I start with my eyes and then I think I have that extra sense of taste some talk about (umami), because I just seem to enjoy tasting food to such a degree that I am very picky, bordering snobby about what I eat. But take heart, I cook mostly RUSTIC food, which…
Whisk Wednesday: Bavarois â la Framboise
Bavarois â la Framboise or Bavarian Cream with Raspberry Coulis. A few weeks ago, I introduced zabaglione, an Italian dessert made with egg yolks, sugar and wine and a few months ago, sabayon, a french dessert that is the same exact thing. Today, I am talking about another dessert that depends upon whisked egg yolks…
Purple Lime-Roasted Sweet Potato Fries
How pretty are these purple fries? And, the best news aside from being on one of those healthy purple foods I talked about here, they are roasted, not fried and they are smacking good. Usually, when your health is at risk, you are told to stop eating fries. These are fries that are actually good…
Pick a Peck of Purple Foods
I started noticing how much I’m drawn to purple food when I eyed my first purple sweet potato just a few weeks ago at Whole Foods. One of my most popular purple posts is Purple Sweet Potato Fries. I then started researching purple food just because I was curious (and google makes it easy), and I…
Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Chip cookies are probably the world’s (at least America’s) favorite cookie. Everything about a chocolate chip cookie is satisfying, but there is usually this creeping guilt that follows, because it’s hard to eat just one or two or three, especially as they are coming out of the oven. Well, these cookies are actually better…
Cold Zabaglione with Red Wine with Raspberries
This site earns a small commission from Amazon Affiliate links, but does not affect price. A simple Italian dessert, cold zabaglione with red wine is an elegant use of left over egg yolks. The egg yolk is truly the gift to us from chickens. I’m happy now that I get eggs from the free-range very…
South Beach Fresh Start Brunch
I named this South Beach Fresh Start Brunch for many reasons. It could easily be a part of the famous South Beach Diet, high in fiber, protein and no bread. It has the right complex carbs that are sanctioned and approved. The black beans and the heat of the dish are also a bit reminiscent…
Zucchini Garlic Scape Pesto
I was bursting at the seams to share something that developed in my kitchen last Friday night. I meant to share this right away, but then I thought I might redo it and make it prettier. But when I had the scapes, I didn’t have the zucchini and when I finally had the zucchini I…
Skirt Steak with Chimichurri Marinade, Roasted Corn
I am a little different in that I don’t like too many marinades, at least the kind that call for soy sauce, heavy garlic, vinegar, etc. But, I saw a chimichurri marinade/sauce at a gourmet food shop, the color and beauty intrigued me. The jar proudly displayed a bright, grassy green mixture that was obviously…
Linguini with Zucchini Sauce with Garlic and Basil
Zucchini Sauce A sunny summer day awakens the anticipation of an afternoon at the pool, and not just any pool, but an olympic size pool, surrounded by a hill of trees on all sides, making a sticky, hot day livable. It is possibly the one thing I most like about our community and we can…
