Miso Curried Cod with Spinach

Are you ready for a flavor-bomb of a meal?  This recipe comes from the NYT and is simply amazing. I adapted it based on comments and personal preferences and I think you will really enjoy the results.  This dish works well with salmon or any firm-fleshed fish and it also works well with rice or rice noodles. I have even substituted bok choy (as some of the commenters mentioned) for the spinach. Easy to prepare and amazingly flavorful, this dish is great for a weeknight meal. Give your taste buds a warning though as this dish will give them a wonderful jolt!

Sous vide Mahi Mahi with Ginger Scallion Sauce

Tonight’s dish is another demonstration on how cooking sous vide makes meal preparation easier and basically foolproof. Have you ever overcooked a fillet of fish in a pan?  I bet you have and I know I have. Heck, I bet that anyone who has ever cooked fish has overcooked it at least once. Well, sous vide helps you by cooking it gently in a vacuum bag within a water bath – always done and never overcooked. After the water bath soak, the easiest and most fun part is all that is left – searing to add a little color before plating. But if you thought the mahi mahi is the star of this dish, you would be incorrect. The star of this dish is the sauce…

Apple Kuchen

Recently I received a a teaser for this recipe via the New York Times Cooking section and I just had to try it. Of course, that means I needed to rework the recipe for one or two servings so I would not be eating an 8 to 12 serving kuchen by myself! So I went to work and the results were simply amazing. So amazing in fact, I just had to share them with you. This kuchen is wonderfully flavored with lemon, honey, ginger… and naturally apple. This recipe is easy to prepare as well; the toughest part is waiting for the kuchen to cool so you can enjoy it! Save Print Apple Kuchen Prep time:  45 mins Cook time:  30 mins Total time:&nbsp…

Spice Cookies

Today’s experiment was with cookies.  No, not the annoying web cookies stored in your browser, but that holiday treat everyone enjoys – at least everyone I know.  I based this recipe on a Lebkuchen recipe, making some slight adjustments. The cookie it produces is a flavor bomb – honey, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, almonds, ginger, vanilla and rum. That’s right, I wrote ‘rum’. I made a simple rum glaze for these warm spiced treats and these cookies could be called chewable Hot Buttered Rum! So preheat that oven, we have family and friends needing these delights!
