As we had a ton of fresh ginger in the house and are desperately trying to use it up, and we had fish in the house, I was looking for recipes that used both and stumbled upon this light and tasty Vietnamese dish inspired by the traditional dish Cha Ca La Vong. Tumeric Fish with […]

Japan - ginger & carrot dressing

Japanese Carrot Ginger Salad Dressing – Japan

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Asian recipes, By Country, Japan, Salads, Side dishes, vegan, Vegetarian

We have been ordering fresh vegetables from Misfits Market for a while now. Basically you get organic veggies at regular prices, but the veggies are just a bit off on size or look or something like that. They have been doing this type of thing in France for years. Anyway, we ended up with a […]

Mexico! Some not so typical Mexican dishes (at least on the East Coast). Calabacitas is a mix of zucchini, corn, tomatoes onion and garlic…and hot pepper…it was delicious. In fact this meal made our top 10. According to cousins who live on the West Coast and New Mexico, this is super popular there and found […]

On Nov 9th, our culinary world tour brought us to the Bahamas. Perfect for a balmy 59 degree day picnic on the deck and right in line with the type of fresh, healthy food we tend to eat (when we are not cooking meals from around the world). We had Bahamian spiced chicken with yogurt […]

Last night was Belize! We made rice and beans with coconut milk. It was ok – glad to have tasted it, but it will probably not be on my list of things to remake. The Bengali rice was definitely superior. Recipe source: Belizian Coconut Rice and Beans

Working our way through the B’s. Today was Bosnia and Herzegovina on the Balken Peninsula. Much of the food was heavy and in phylo or with red meat (which my husband does not eat – so it makes it more challenging to find recipes sometimes…like in this case). I settled on a Kljukusa, which is […]

Canada - Nanaimo Bars

Nanaimo Bars – Canada

Posted Leave a commentPosted in By Country, Canada, Desserts, Recipes

For Canada, my Canadian friend Elaine suggested I make Nanaimo bars which are 100% Canadian and named after the city of Nanaimo, British Columbia. Learned something new – which I always love. Seems like Nanaimo bars are to Canada as chocolate chip cookies are to the US. I had never heard of them before as […]
