stuffed sumac and mint bulgur dumplings

May 12, 2010

This recipe comes from “The Rural Taste of Lebanon: a Food Heritage Trail.” I found it appealing because I’m unfamiliar with sumac, which I’ve also seen spelled “somak,” and I wanted to see what it might taste like. The potato onion filling reminded me a lot of what you might stuff into Polish perogies. I [...]

vegan aloo mutter with okra and edamame

April 30, 2010

Aloo mutter is another dish I like for lunch at Rotee Express on Howard and Spear. I like Rotee Express though invariably, they always serve their food cold.

lemony Greek potatoes

July 18, 2009

When I invited Kevin to our recent Macedonian celebration party he immediately asked me, “Are we eating lemon potato?” I’d eaten this traditional Greek dish before but never made it. Since this was a pot-luck, he offered to make this and graciously taught me his version of this classic. It turns out that it comes [...]

a homemade Indian banquet

April 28, 2009

Have you ever wondered about cooking Indian food at home? Well it’s not as hard as you think, though it does take a little planning. At this Indian dinner, I served six traditional dishes from southern India. That probably sounds like a lot and it did take a few hours to prepare everything. Fortunately, many [...]
