We’re coming up on a long holiday with back-to-back meals and I’m about the repurposing! Leftover chicken soup becomes chicken pot pie, leftover meat or poultry gets loaded into a ramen bowl or spread over tacos. I love that it reduces waste and keeps things fun and inventive. Pulled beef focaccia or flatbread is another favorite way that I love ..read more

Believe it or not, I used to be that person who only ordered vegetables rolls at sushi spots, which eventually gave way to tempura rolls, but I was NOT into raw fish. It wasn’t the idea of it, more the texture for me – and I credit ceviche for being my gateway to loving sashimi! The beauty of ceviche is ..read more

Let’s not forget my Bubby’s cabbage soup, one of my favorites! I always have a head of cabbage in the fridge – and I don’t discriminate between red and green! The humble ..read more

I’ll always be a tuna girl, I can eat it every day of the week (and I would if not for mercury!). I’m always dressing it up different ways – but the key is really to add all the fixings! Too many people just stir in mayo and it needs more! Something crunchy, something oniony, something creamy, something spicy and ..read more

Caponata is a traditional Sicilian eggplant dish that is similar to ratatouille, except it that it’s sweeter and more sour (thanks to vinegar and sugar!). I first tried caponata at Ruth’s kosher restaurant in Florence last summer and I fell in love. Here I made a lighter zucchini version with summer squash, to make the most of it as summer ..read more

Growing up with many Jamaican neighbors, surrounded by the smells of Jerk chicken and BBQ, I always wanted to learn to make it! When I saw @davedreifuscooks grilling some up on his stories, I asked him to teach me, and boy am I glad that I did! The marinade was everything I dreamed of and more! Sweet, spicy, sour, fruity…. You ..read more
