Mulligatawny literally translates to "pepper water" in Tamil ( a language spoken by people from India, Sri Lanka and Singapore) and was very popular in England; and later changed. No recipe is the same - including this one! Haha. The first time I tried Mulligatawny soup was ironically at a fish restaurant I worked at in New York City called "Oceana". It was an incredibly flavorful soup laced with an exceptional curry butter. My mom AND husband aren't exactly fans of curry; so when it was my ... continue reading...
Samosa Latkes with Mango Chutney
Samosas are an Indian savory pastry that usually consists of fried dough, potatoes, peas, spices and chilies. There are many varietes, but I wanted to bring the flavor of a samosa into a latke. Since the majority of a samosa is potato based, and a latke is a fried potato pancake, whart could be bad about that!!?? Indian food is so flavorful, interesting and different and I love to mix cuisines! for example, my Brisket Pad Thai was a big hit! or Plantain Latkes with Garlic Sauce from a few ... continue reading...

I cooked professionally for 10+ years, and during ... continue reading...
Horseradish Turkey Meatloaf
This horseradish turkey meatloaf is gluten free, egg free and dairy free. Not on purpose, I just don't use those things in my meatloaf. I don't actually think it's necessary. Turkey tends to be dry, but not this loaf!! It stays moist because of the prepared horseradish with liquid, ketchup and grated onion! I also have used grated zucchini in the past and that has helped retain moisture as well. This is the type of food that doesn't usually photograph well, but you'll have to just take my ... continue reading...
Latin Inspired Brisket
Latin Inspired Brisket is really just my interpretation. In essence, this is just a traditional braise, using ingredients that are traditionally used in Latin American cooking: onions, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, cumin. You may see many of my "Latin" recipes repeat a lot of these ingredients; but it is what gives it that unique flavor! This may seem like a lot of steps, but it's WORTH IT! Please keep in mind that when the recipe (any recipe) calls for "fork tender" you literally ... continue reading...
