Book Recommendation: Anne Willan's One Souffle at a Time & A Recipe for Count Rocco's Minestrone

Last month I received a preview copy of Anne Willan's One Souffle at a Time. I have to admit that I had no clue who Anne is, but was interested in finding out. After all, there are very few books that tell a real person's story and include recipes that I will say no to....well, I could not really get into Dearie, but that's another story.

I absolutely loved Anne's memoir. I would

The Can't Cook Book Giveaway: Roasted Lemon-Thyme Portobello Mushrooms

A few weeks ago I received a copy of Jessica Seinfeld's The Can't Cook Book. Although the book looks great and has a variety of easy to make recipes, I decided it's a little bit too simple for me. Don't hate!!! This means YOU WIN because I'm hosting a giveaway: one of you will win this book, and I will ship it directly to you.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Kimchi and Apples: You Will LOVE This Recipe

When I received a preview copy of Joe Yonan's latest cookbook, Eat Your Vegetables, I knew I would have to make his kimchi recipe. And I did. As soon, that is, as my friend Cecilia generously shared with me her stash of Korean red chile flakes. The recipe worked great, and I will share it with you next week.

Warm Citrus-Scented Olives with Ricotta Salata: The Glorious Vegetables of Italy

I'm back from a magical vacation in Greece. I loved both the relaxing island of Kea and the bustling Athens. The food was great, the people were welcoming and lovely, and it was a great first time traveling together with my friend Cecilia.

I should have stayed longer since I came back to the government shutdown. Sure, it's great to have a day off to recover from the jet lag, edit a zillion

I hate, hate, hate, HATE the word veggies. I mean, for god's sakes, vegetables, doesn't take that much longer to say. Even I can pronounce that word..and English isn't my native language.

Ok. I feel better.

Although I hate the word veggies, I love vegetables. Salads, soups, sides, and appetizers can be made with a wide variety of vegetables, and although tomatoes are technically fruit, I can

Spicy Eggplant Tofu from Banh Mi Cookbook by Jacqueline Pham

Earlier this month I received a preview copy of Jacquelin Pham's Banh Mi cookbook. The book has a lot to offer: everything from breakfast to dessert and seafood, meat and vegetarian selections. There is even a glossary of Vietnamese cooking terms.

What to do with White Beans? Ina to the Rescue (Ina Garten That Is)

This is for now the last post I write about cooking from Barefoot Contessa's Foolproof. I can't believe I've made FIVE recipes from it already: not surprisingly, all turned out great!

I decided to make Ina's recipe for white beans to go along with the Four Hour Lamb. Ina said to use dry French flageolet beans, but I did not find them at my grocery store and used regular white beans, which had

What to do with a Boneless Leg of Lamb? Ina to the rescue.

A few weekends ago I was invited to attend a super fun event hosted by the American Lamb Board and Craig Rogers of Border Springs Farm. Together with the other bloggers, writers and photographers, I visited four DC restaurants and tried out different lamb dishes they had on their menus. This was such a delicious and boozy afternoon.

Love Chickpeas But Tired of Hummus? Ina Garten Can Help!

Let's play a little game of word association. If I say chickpeas, what's the first thing you think of? I bet a lot of you would say hummus. And yes, chickpeas are awesome for making hummus such as this Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus or this Zesty Spicy Hummus. But chickpeas are great in so many other dishes as well!

Think Roasted Tomatoes, Chickpeas & Feta Salad or Roasted Indian Chickpeas or

Burnt Eggplant with Tahini: Recipe from Plenty Cookbook

This Burnt Eggplant with Tahini is the second recipe I've made from Plenty Cookbook {the first one was Two-Potato Vindaloo}.

Growing up in Russia, I ate eggplant plenty {ha, ha, ha}. My parents and grandparents often made an eggplant dish in which eggplant was either burned directly on top of the gas stove or roasted in the oven and then finely chopped and mixed together with home made

Two-Potato Vindaloo Recipe: Cooking from Plenty

A few months ago, my friend Julia asked if I'd like to take a cooking class at Sur La Table to learn how to make a few recipes from the Plenty cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi. After my twin said that's a silly idea, Julia suggested we just buy the book ourselves and have a dinner party recreating some of the recipes!

I very rarely buy cookbooks: many of the ones I have, I've received as preview
