Eggplant Encounters
Julie | August 29, 2010
Garlicky baby eggplants steamed and stir-fried with intense Chinese flavors for a meal that increased my confidence in my ability to eat eggplant.
Anglo-Indian Leftovers
Julie | August 22, 2010
Leftover milk-braised chicken and rice makes an easy transition to chicken biryani, accompanied by a sauté of onions and baby okra. This is a pretty fussy-friendly main dish, though the side of okra might give some pause.
Check That One Off the List
Julie | August 18, 2010
Barbecue beef sandwiches with my homemade sauce and sandwich rolls, and coleslaw with a dressing made from homemade mayonnaise and yogurt—self-sufficiency can be a beautiful thing.
Kale Slaw

Spins on two Italian-American chicken classics—slow-braised cacciatore and breaded chicken parm—with a side of raw kale slaw with apples and sunflower seeds in a sweet, tangy dressing.
Thai Stuffed Zucchinis

A twist on the standard stuffed zucchini, this dish takes flavor inspiration from a Thai stir-fry of pork and basil, topped off with a fried egg.

A one-pot meal of dark-meat chicken braised on a creamy bed of coconut milk, tomato, rice and black-eyed peas.
Baghali Polo

Now That’s a Mouthful
Julie | July 14, 2010
Loukoumathes are tasty little Greek doughnuts drenched in honey and cinnamon, and much easier to make than one might think.
Great Gallopin’ Grapevines, Batman!
Julie | July 13, 2010
Dolmades two ways: an impromptu riff with collard greens and leftover bulgar pilaf, and a more traditional version with fresh grape leaves and a vegetarian filling.
Clucks and Tostones
Julie | July 9, 2010
A meal inspired by Puerto Rico: simply stewed chicken, yellow rice and beans, and the pièce de résistance, crisp salty tostones (fried plantains).
