Wild Mushroom Pate
15 08 2010
I was catering a party last week and served this Wild Mushroom Pate. It was a huge hit. It looked so much like real pate that I had to convince the guests that it was truly vegetarian. A little goes a long way.

Indonesian Coleslaw
4 08 2010
My mother sent me home with shredded cabbage from her garden and the ingredients to make this coleslaw. It turned out beautifully. I served it with Thai Tuna Burgers and the partnership was perfect. This coleslaw reminds me of the Indonesian salad called Gado Gado.

Summer Squash Orange Muffins
4 08 2010
Guess what? More summer squash from my Mom’s garden. Not only did she send me with the squash but also with this recipe to try. It was a big hit. Kids eating squash – can’t get any better than that. It makes about 16 muffins

Yellow Summer Squash and Corn Bisque
2 08 2010
Oh, the fun of using up random summer vegetables from a garden. I found myself with the dilemma of lots of yellow summer squash which normally does not appeal to two teenage boys. I have found a trick though in disguising vegetables. If you puree them, nobody knows what they are. So my son who swears he hates zucchini and squash ate a big bowl of this soup before I announced the main ingredient was squash. This soup is tasty and easy to make.

Broccoli, Mushroom, Cheddar Quiche
21 07 2010
I got some broccoli out of my Mom’s garden and was inspired to make a quiche for my family. I am going away for a few days and I knew this would be a great surprise to find in the refrigerator and would last them for dinner and probably a lunch. I must admit, this quiche looks extraordinary.
Please use your favorite savory pie crust. I have a great recipe from my time in Paris but it is hard to describe in a recipe. Good pie crust is all about the technique and lots of Beurre (butter) as the French say. I have made mine a little healthier by substituting some whole wheat pastry flour for the white flour. Come take a pie making class with me and I will teach you all the tricks.

Zucchini Bran Muffins

My Mom presented me with a huge zucchini from her garden so I knew it was muffin making time. These muffins turned out great and they are healthy and kids will like them. You can substitute oil for the butter.

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.

Perfect Pesto
7 07 2010
I was able to coax this recipe out of an Italian friend of mine. It is a great pesto recipe. Use it on its own or dilute with warm cream to make a creamy pesto. This is perfect to make during the summer and then freeze to have all winter long.
