Tyler?s Texas Chili (recipe)
2007-08-29 06:48:00 This month’s “They Go Well Together” challenge, asked food bloggers to prepare dishes that combined meat and chocolate.

Fried Eggplant (recipe)
2007-08-28 06:25:00 You know one of the unexpected discoveries of having a food blog is realizing how much our parents keep from us about -their- culinary pasts.

Pan Fried Snapper with Tomato Salsa (recipe)
2007-08-25 06:57:00 A simple fish dish. The flavours weren’t as assertive as I would have ordinarily liked but the relative mildness means that it can be paired with bolder side dishes that may not usually see the light of day.

Chocolate Sablés (recipe)
2007-08-18 06:42:00 These sablés are dangerous! No, it’s not because of their bittersweet chocolatey goodness. And no it’s not because of the chocolate chips strewn throughout that provide bursts of sweet creaminess. And no, it’s not even their brownie-like denseness that makes me issue this indictment. No, what makes these chocolate sablés so worth of a public ... More About: Recipe , Chocolate , Chocolat , Choco , Reci

Calypso Rice (recipe)

2007-08-10 06:04:00 Ketchup. You think you know what it is, but if you haven’t tasted true homemade ketchup, well… in the words of MTV Diary, “you have no idea”.
