This is a recipe I’ve had for years, and know I made it at least twice. Making a recipe more than once for me is a rarity, even more so in the early cooking years because there was always another recipe to make, another technique to learn. And more to taste. We loved this dish,

The other day I read an email from New York Times Cooking, What to Cook this Weekend, by Sam Sifton, that I only occasionally read. I say occasionally, because I dislike the format of the highly-packed food and cooking info in the emails. But a photo caught my eye so I read on. I’m probably
A while back I saw a recipe for lamb meatballs, cooked in a red sauce. It really appealed to me because I love lamb. And, I think I could eat shoe soles cooked in red sauce. But did I print this recipe? Or even take notes as to where I found it? Stupidly no, although
It still confounds me what pops up on the internet when I least expect it. I’m talking recipes of course. With all of the cooking I’ve done for almost 40 years (yikes!) I just love it when something unique shows itself. Case in point, a Bon Appetit recipe called Fall-Apart Caramelized Cabbage. It wasn’t the
The whole name of this recipe is Kefta Meatball Tagine in Tomato Sauce with Eggs. It’s from the cookbook Morocco, written by Jeff Koehler, published in 2012.

The story behind my discovery of Pipián Rojo is an interesting one, because my husband told me about it.

In any case,
We’ve all made a red sauce or marinara, sometimes even referred to as spaghetti sauce. But to me there is another, equally important red sauce in my life, and today I’m sharing it with you. It’s not for pasta, but instead, it is a sauce for meats – grilled meat, barbecued meat, smoked meat, and
When I first met Stéphane, it was April of 2014. My daughter and I visited him for an action-packed four days in southwestern France. If you’re not familiar with Stéphane Gabart, he is the author of My French Heaven, the beautiful blog that emanates his love for all things food, wine, and France. You immediately
My enchilada sauce is a simple red sauce that is enriched with ancho chile paste and Mexican seasonings. It is a rich and hearty sauce that I make to top black bean enchiladas, or just about any kind of enchiladas or burritos. It’s also good on meat, from chicken to ribs. There are many authentic
Many years ago I came across a recipe for grits with eggs and a red sauce. It was similar to shakshuska, a Middle Eastern dish of baked eggs in red sauce, shown below, but with grits! I never had grits until my husband and I visited Charleston, South Carolina, for business a long time ago.
