Hong Shao Rou Red Braised PorkLittle known outside the Asian Community, Hong Shao Rou, (红烧肉) literally, red braised pork, is succulent morsels of pork belly simmered in an aromatic, rich soy-based broth until tender.  I first experienced this dish in Macao, where the softened, anise-infused pork was nothing short of a revelation.  Hong Shao Rou belongs to a class of very traditional Asian dishes known as red cooking,...

 I started about 2 years ago learning about raw foods. These became my favorite snack crackers. I made with my favorite seeds and spices. Flax seed is high in most of the B vitamins, magnesium, and manganese, but this little seed is just getting started. There are three additional nutrient groups which flax seed has in abundance, and each has many benefits.Flax Seed is Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids...

I’m not exactly sure how it became such a staple of Western New York’s regional cuisine, but every Friday night, all over this part of the Empire State, countless hundreds of restaurants feature what’s simply called a “fish fry.” It’s a boneless fillet of haddock, usually dipped in some type of beer batter and served humbly with tartar sauce, fries, baked potato, or as you see here, mashed potatoes. I enjoyed this fine example...

Most of my friends when we were kids ate spinach only because of Popeye. I did not. I ate spinach because my mom made delicious spinach and I never understood how spinach that comes out of a can could be tasty or powerful, especially without yogurt. Heres my moms recipe; almost her recipe, because I made a few moderations in years.1 1/2 pound (app. 700 gr.) spinach, fresh or frozen - baby spinach would be good, too!1 big onion,...

This was a great simple recipe with lots of flavor.  I think stuffed bell peppers are fun, and luckily my kids thought so too!  This recipe has a lot of great southwestern flavors - cilantro, jalapeno, tomatoes, chili powder, etc.  These are meatless, but you could easily add some cooked ground beef or turkey to the mix if you prefer.  I fancied these up a bit this week by carving little jack-o-lantern faces...

Panko (breading) crumbs are the absolute best for many, many recipes. I recently used them to turn "ho-hum" shrimp into "Wow, these are GREAT" shrimp.  Ive heard of people using Panko in meatloaf and meatballs (I havent tried that yet) as well as a ton of other recipes.My biggest problem with panko bread crumbs is that they can be expensive AND they are NOT something I routinely keep in my pantry. ...

Years ago, my mom went to Adana--one of the "kebap" capitals of Turkey--to visit her cousins. In stead of kebap, she brought back this eggplant + zucchini dolma recipe. In Adana, they usually use sundried eggplants and zucchinis; however, in the northwestern part of Turkey its not easy to sundry vegetables as it is in the southeastern part, so we modified the recipe by replacing sundried vegetables with fresh ones.With the following...
