Potatoes "au Gratin" With Onions
When I first got back from my vacation I was jet-lagged, very relaxed, my mind was still on a beach in Greece and mentally I was nowhere near thinking of how to satisfy my hunger and ultimately, share my food with you. Fast forward to a month from returning from Europe and I now have […]
The Rest Of the Thanksgiving Table
As tasty as the turkey was and as much as I’d love to be solely eating turkey, we also had “fixins” at the table. I made garlic-mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce and roasted brussel sprouts. I’m not trying to be fancy here and show you something new flavour combo…it was Thanksgiving and you want […]
Snacking….Greek Stylez!
When one visits Greece, one drinks. When one drinks in Greece….one eats! Almost always, when out for a drink, the server will provide you and your friends with something to nibble on. It could be nuts, veggies, cold cuts or potato chips. The Greeks have their own tastes and this is even evident with their […]
Bringing the ‘Barbie Back Indoors
Have I mentioned that I love BBQ and outdoor grilling? I love it so much that even in the midst of winter, with a strong cold wind, blowing snow and nostril-freezing temperatures…I will grill a steak! During the fall months one feels the temperature change more and until I get used to the cooler weather, […]
Potato Tortilla
This classic apparently is found at many a Tapas bar in Spain. ‘Tis a dense and satisfying large cake, or a frittata or omelet? Call it what you want but it’s delicious, easy to make and certainly another way to eat spuds. Potato Tortilla 1 lb of small potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly with a […]
Scalloped Potato Salad
This recipe comes courtesy of some leftover potatoes I had from a barbecue recently. I’m using potatoes that were sliced thinly with a mandoline and tossed in Montreal Steak Spice and you see the my original recipe here. I’m adapting this recipe as if you were boiling potatoes to make this salad from scratch. You […]
Whipped Potatoes Souffle
This recipe is made with leftover mashed potatoes but you could also make this as a “make ahead” dish – they will turn out beautiful and delicious! You could also serve these individually – just grease the ramekins and dust with breadcrumbs to offer a golden crust. Whipped Potatoes Souffle (serves 4-6) 3 cups of […]
Feta Frites
I’m still relatively new to the blogosphere but I’ve found the community to be very friendly, helpful and exhilarating with all the new recipes I’ve been discovering on people’s sites. Among the first new friends I have is Nicole of Pinch My Salt. This gal is very lucky to be currently living in Sicily and […]
Warm Potato Salad
In my opinion, since the Grande Dame herself, Julia Child passed on…I think “da man” in the food world is Jacques Pepin. He has an impressive bio and I encourage you to have a peek. This recipe is his, from the book, “The Short-Cut Cook” which is a paperback with lots of quick meal ideas. […]
Provencal Potato Salad
One of my favourite food personalities has to be Ina Garten aka The Barefoot Contessa. I’ve always liked the casual manner of the show, the relative simplicity of the food and her knack for offering recipes that work in practice and deliver with taste! In my quest to eat healthier, I looked for a potato […]
