When Classics Meet Pop Culture:  My Rogan Josh

I’ve long been fascinated by the cuisines of the Middle East and India, and have had the pleasure of sampling some very good dishes over the years through pot luck lunches at the office, and in trying good restaurant recommendations from friends.

Any Day All-Occasion Snack Cake

I’m not going to tap dance around the subject of photography today.  Let’s get straight to the issue, shall we?  This blog post suffers from lack of good photography.  My usual process is to snap pictures while prepping, cooking or baking, and I then snap a few more of the finished dish, after being portioned […]

Apple Sauce Crisp

You didn’t think I’d leave you hanging, now did you?  After yesterday’s Alpen Magrone blog post praised the virtues of combining carbs, I chose to end it with a only a picture of my Apple Sauce Crisp, hinting at how glorious it was following our pasta and potato feast.     Well, dear reader, today […]
