How making baklava is like life

January 15, 2016 By Carol Cassara 23 Comments

"Easy baklava recipe" was the headline. It looked delicious. I'd never made it before.  We were having dinner with our Palestinian neighbor and I wanted to bring something from his side of the world. Of course, he'd lived here for many decades and is an American citizen, but still. Why not give it . . .

Hey, I know. You're dieting and you're hungry. You want some flavor and you want some crunch. Oh, how well I know it.  You simply can not face another salad, though. You want something new. Snacky.

"I had an organic box delivered one year and kept forgetting to use the vegetables, so I wasted much of it." This might be you, right? Because I have heard this--or the fear of it--from friends. And in fact, this used to be me.  Until I discovered how to make the most of my weekly organic produce . . .

Brussels-sprouts-recipe

"Eat your vegetables," Mom always said. Ok. Not my mom. But fictional moms said this, for sure, right? Anyway, if this Brussels sprouts recipe had been served at family dinner tables, I guarantee you no one at all would need urging. Because it is absolutely scrumptious.  Pretty easy, too. So, I . . .

Orange cauliflower?

December 9, 2015 By Carol Cassara 46 Comments

orange-cauliflower

No, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just got loads of beta-carotene: 25 percent more Vitamin A than other our familiar white cauliflower. It was originally a mutant, discovered in 1970 and bred with its white cousins. The result can be any shade of yellow or orange--as you can see, the one that . . .

I'd moved to the San Francisco Bay area just the year before when a guy I'd met took me out on the town. It was a cold, wintry night in San Francisco, so we stopped in late at the Buena Vista to warm up with an Irish coffee. Maybe you didn't know that Irish coffee was invented in San Francisco at . . .

chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe

I've tasted a chocolate chip cookie or two in my time--they're my all-time favorite cookie, but only home made. No question that Toll-House has a very good chocolate chip cookie recipe and I thought it was the best chocolate chip recipe ever. That is, until sister-in-love brought us some Neiman . . .
