I noticed something weird this week: just about everything I ate tasted odd. No matter what it was, from bland rice cakes to strong, dark coffee, a few minutes after I ate or drank it, there was an odd, bitter flavor lingering in my mouth

Photo from Philipson & Söderberg I’m waiting impatiently for spring but the whole garden is still completely covered in snow. However last week I got a taste of summer as I got to try the new (for Sweden) sparkling wine Fresita . It’s a lovely sparkling wine with fresh strawberries and it’s all natural without any artificial colourings or flavourings

Passover is right around the corner – which means the Matzo Balls are not far behind.  Matzo Ball Soup is a Passover tradition in many households. Their salty, dough texture makes for the perfect comfort food and well worth the wait after a long seder

  By guest blogger Sharon Halkovics Where does one begin when you’ve just experienced an eight course meal prepared with a rainbow of animal organs?  I can confidently say that the dining experience I’m referring to was one of the most adventurous and memorable I’ve consumed to date.  What was this all about and why?  The Denver Adventurous Eater Club and Parallel 17 teamed up to co-host a dinner.  The challenge for P17’s chef Mary Nguyen, was to assemble the most one-of-a-kind offal eating experience imaginable to present to a group of 50 adventurous diners. First, let’s quickly define offal for those who are not familiar with the term: “Offal is a culinary term used to refer to the entrails and internal organs of a butchered animal. The word does not refer to a particular list of organs, but includes most internal organs other than muscles or bones

One thing I’ve learned in France, is that if someone who’s an expert tells you to eat something—you should eat it. (Except squid, of course.) When I lead tours , right before I place their hand on the bible, I make guests promise that if I tell them they have to try something, they will. It’s not that I’m on commission, it’s just I’ve sifted through a lot of stuff and it’s not worth filling up on the bland when the extraordinary is within equidistant tasting distance.

My recent banana windfall gave me the chance to play around a bit with various banana ice cream combinations. Although I loved the taste of this one, frankly, I wasn’t sure I should post the recipe. Since bananas are such a natural partner for coconut, I reasoned, “Why use milk or cream when there’s coconut milk

By guest blogger Sharon Halkovics ‘Mon petit chou’ is a French term of endearment that translates to ‘my little cabbage’.  I use this playful term when expressing my long-term affection for the humble, cruciferous cabbage.  I honestly believe (and sometimes rant) that it is one of the most overlooked, under-utilized vegetables readily available in markets.   Sturdy, abundant, and inexpensive, cabbage is a longstanding dietary staple throughout the world and stores so well that it is available throughout the year.  Although, it is at its best during the late fall and winter months when it is in season.
