Burger Meets Banh Mi, Deliciousness Ensues
At long last, we're about to have a 70+ degree weekend. And that means we're grilling for sure. Having blown through my grilling go-to's (flank steak and lamb burgers) last weekend for Memorial Day, last night I went back to a meatball experiment I did a few months ago, essentially taking the pork filling for a…
Zoku Popsicle Maker: Nutella Fudgesicles
New gadgets are fun. I was leafing through (more like studying) the latest issue of Donna Hay magazine and saw this Zoku Quick Pop Maker that makes popsicles in less than 10 minutes. It's been out for awhile and reviewed in a bunch of places -- here's theKitchn's take -- but I'd just missed it somehow. Sure, you could just use some Dixie cups and popsicle sticks, but oooh, a new gadget! Ten minutes, not two hours! And yeah, it's $50, but oooh, new gadget!
Cooking from the Pantry: Israeli Couscous
If you're not already sitting in your car on your way to your Memorial Day weekend destination, you're probably making your weekend grill plan. Usually, I'd be thinking burgers, maybe ribs, and mac salad, but not everyone around here eats mayo (I know - it erases practically an entire food group). The other night we ordered…
Spring at the Farmers Market: Onions
I’m always just a little bit jealous listening to the market report from the Wednesday Santa Monica Farmers Market on Good Food. I was a Saturday Santa Monica girl for years and when it comes to produce, that market (and California in general) can't be beat. Spring has been slow to arrive everywhere, but down…

If Americans have heard of Bill Granger, they’ve probably either been to his restaurants in Sydney (and now Japan, apparently) or possibly seen his show, “bills food” on the Cooking Channel (Sunday mornings, 9 a.m. ET -- plug plug!). Why Curtis whats-his-name is catching on Stateside and bill remains a secret, I can’t tell –…
Chilled Banana & Pistachio Rice Pudding
There’s no meal that rice is excluded from at my house – breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, appetizer, entrée, dess--errrr-–no. I’ve never been a big fan of rice for dessert. I didn’t like Botan Rice Candy growing up, but its got its own Facebook page, so apparently a lot of people do (at least 1,955 as…
Outrageous Pretzel Bars
I love chocolate covered pretzels. Earlier this week Adam Roberts, the @amateurgourmet, retweeted @JustinChapple's Outrageous Pretzel Bars in Food and Wine magazine. Cookie layer + fudge layer+ pretzels = straight into my recipe file and off to the grocery to buy 2 bags of chocolate chips. Three notes: 1. Even spreading is important for the layers. From…
