This is some of the best chicken I've ever eaten - grilled, roasted, baked, whatever. Juicy, spicy, tender, lipsmackin' good. Here's the deal, there are two ways to make this recipe. One way entails making your own red chile sauce from scratch, using dried ancho and guajillo chiles that you can usually only find at a specialty Mexican market. Even our local Whole Foods doesn't carry these dried ch
This week Brian Yarvin, author of Cucina Piemontese, explores the wonderful cooking from the Piemonte region, located in the northeast corner of Italy, on Hippocrene Cooks. Summer in my native Piedmont can be hot, even in the mountains where my family and I spent July and August every year. One dish that never failed to appear at the dinner table in the summer was "zucchini in carpione", a re
This meal could have also been called 'Really Simple Food That Speaks For Itself'. I am always amazed at how good veggies are when roasted. They don't need anything, just a bit of salt. They have enough of their own flavor. I was looking for a simple, yet tasty and healthy dinner the other night, and I think I found the perfect meal! Brett and I raved about this and were also happy with how good s
I've been on a slight marinating kick lately - especially marinating mushrooms and veggies for Mexican-ish food. This time I decided to highlight the portobello mushroom in a marinated fajita as, well, they are one of both Brett and my favorite mushrooms.This is another spicy dish, for less fire, omit some of the hot peppers from the 'veggie mix' in the fajitas.Since Brett and I aren't eating avoc

Here is a quick picture I snapped of our dinner Tuesday night. On Monday I opened two packages of E-Z Peel raw shrimp, rinsed and placed in a container and then opened my cupboards to throw a bunch of random ingredients on to marinade. I then chopped up red and green peppers and 1 1/2 onions into large chunks and added them. On Tuesday I removed the container from the refrigerator and cleaned the shrimp, threaded them onto skewers and we grilled a yummy, healthy and very 'springy' meal for dinner. It's actually one of our favorites and my husband has already requested grilled shrimp ka-bobs weekly all summer long. LOL.Amounts. I know you want amounts. But what I want you to do is to have 'fun' with cooking and not treat it like a science experiment. Don't be scared of your food. A

By: stephenstewart Quite often when you research information into the various cultures and cuisines that make up countries it is quite possible to find a common theme common name for the food of that country. Such as Chinese Food, Thai Food etc but to be honest it could be argued that with regards to Spain there is no such thing as “Spanish” food as with the make up and historical heritage of Spain it is not quite that simple.The Political and historical make up of Spain with the unification of its particular regions and collective cultural identities make it perfectly reasonable and logical to argue that there is no such thing really as overall Spanish cooking. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features. The relative number of autonomous regions that combine to form modern day Spain is 17 and in the main, they all have their own language variants (if not separate

I'm entertaining the idea of giving the South Beach Diet another go, and because of that, I picked up the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer cookbook, and I think its wonderful!! The first time we did south beach, we only had the very basic first book to go off of, and those recipes are...well... a little boring. Since then, we've gotten the SB Quick and Easy book and now this Taste of Summer book.
Summer being the Season of the Grill I'm posting my favorite marinade. Good on chicken or kabobs it's got a great blend of chili, cumin, garlic, cilantro and lime while keeping the chicken moist and tender.And as an added bonus, I'll often save some of the marinade and use it to cook a side of risotto--pictured here with a sprinkling of feta on top--to give the rice a nice kick.1 tablespoon mild chili powder1 tablespoon paprika2 teaspoons ground cuminjuice and zest from one orange (though I'll use other juices in a pinch, such as passion-orange-guava or mango)juice from three limespinch of sugar8-10 garlic cloves, minced1 bunch of cilantro, coarsely chopped3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil4 tablespoons of pineapple juice (optional)salt and freshly ground pepper to taste6 boneless skinless chicken breastsMix up all the ingredients for the marinade (everything but the chicken) in a large plastic Ziploc freezer bag then add the chicken and shake to coat.

How do you marinate meat? Marinating is for sure one of the best ways to give meat more flavor and to tenderize it at the same time. Typically, we marinate meats for 6 to 24 hours before we finish them on the grill. Sometimes, I prefer to marinate meat over night after cooking it when I need to make-ahead meals.INGREDIENTS:Serves 6* 800 g beef, thick flank or similarMARINADE:* 1 dl (100 ml) Kikkoman Japanese Soy* pinch of sesame seeds* pinch of thyme* pinch of basil* 1 tablespoon orange juice* 1 teaspoon fresh chili pepper, choppedMETHOD:1.
