kale with black olives, raw cashews and anchovy

November 22, 2011

Steven and I have been enjoying recipes from David Rocco’s new cookbook, Made in Italy. Many of them seem very simple to make and look tasty from pics in the book.

marzipan cashew butter almond cookies

November 30, 2009

This cookie is inspired by a recipe we made back in May for our Roman holiday party. Originally it’s from Martha Stewart’s site and calls for almond paste and pine nuts.

I get tired of regular peanut butter sometimes. Fortunately, Trader Joe’s sells many different types of nut butters other than peanut. Their variety is so large that you can go weeks without repeating the same butter: almond, cashew, macadamia, soy, sunflower seed, peanut and then back to the first. One difficulty with TJ’s is that [...]

banana bread with brazil nuts, cashews and pepitas

July 3, 2009

Steven liked my banana picture displayed here in this post. He says it reminds him of Andy Warhol’s famous banana painting that’s featured on the album cover by Velvet Underground. I like Warhol’s pop art in general including the aforementioned banana. I haven’t been to the Warhol museum in Pittsburgh yet, which I’ve heard is [...]
