I made this yummy salad for a picnic and everybody went crazy for it. I recommend slicing the Brussels Sprouts thinly and then chopping them just a little because they are a little tough on the tooth if you get too big a piece. You can use Marcona almonds or toasted hazelnuts also work well in this recipe.

Back from Dubai
7 07 2010I know I have not posted in a few weeks. We were away in Egypt and Dubai. A great trip but I have no new culinary discoveries to report. Well actually, I found some great deals on saffron, so you can look forward to an upcoming paella recipe.
I am excited to be adding a private chef page to my website. I am offering private chef services here in the Denver area. Please check out the new page and contact me if I can be of service in some way.

Homemade Yogurt
23 05 2010
This is a really simple recipe for homemade yogurt. You can use any type of milk you like. The taste of this yogurt is far superior to any you can buy in the store. You can keep this in your refrigerator for a couple weeks. If you have any left at the end, use a little bit of this homemade yogurt as the starter for your next batch.

Crazy Mixed Up Pesto Sauce
18 05 2010This recipe is a crazy twist to a classic sauce. Fabulous and versatile, you’ll find that you will want to slather this sauce on everything from fish to pizza to pasta. Keeps well in the freezer too. You can also try many variations of this recipe. Try using toasted pine nuts instead of cashews or varying the proportion of herbs. You can omit the shallots and use garlic instead or omit the cilantro, mint and chili peppers and use a cup of marinated sundried tomatoes instead.
