Happy Halloween to Mid City New Orleans—where the porches are well-stocked, the costumed are dedicated, and the spirit of celebration buzzes like hummingbird moths in the open mouths of butterfly ginger blossoms. So many smells, so much joy. We had our annual fete, this year a masquerade ball in the theme of Phantom of the […]

Baby Quinoa Cakes and Almond Crust Quiche ala Pereg
Standing in three feet of water on Saturday had me pondering apocalypse. Here in New Orleans, inexplicably, several pumps were out of order and then a cloud parked over the city and brought us 8 inches of rain in two hours.

Meanwhile, enjoy this happy commercial for easy quinoa bread. Quinoa Bread Adapted from Five Minutes a Day Artisan Bread 3 cups whole wheat flour 3 […]

She deserves credit not only for being a phenomenal cook but also for agreeing to babysit my sourdough starter for the next two weeks while KP and I are in England. My future bread depends on her!

Southwest Quinoa
While the Oscars rolled out the red carpet, KP and I rolled out the red table cloth. I’ll be posting all week from the Academy Award Party feast. To start, as it is the International Year of Quinoa (I love making the proclamation over and over), make this tonight and it will last all week. […]

Quinoa and Black Beans
Tonight is a beer brewing night (a red ale and cappuccino stout!), which I figured counted enough toward yeast work that I could skip bread making for today. Instead, I’ll share a lovely gluten-free recipe I have grown quite fond of and made for a friend of mine yesterday: Quinoa and Black Beans Recipe adapted […]
