Spicy Tuna Tartare Salad

June 14, 2013 | Appetizers, Fish & Seafood, Salads

tuna tartare saladSometimes when I cater parties the client springs for tuna tartare for an appetizer. I usually season the raw tuna with a soy, garlic, ginger type of seasoning in that case and serve it on little porcelain Asian soup spoons like this. I also like to use sushi grade tuna with a spicy sauce when I teach kids’ sushi classes like I did this week. It’s perfect for making a spicy tuna roll and the kids seem to love the sauce and the tuna. At the end of class I had a little tuna left and a little of the spicy sauce, plus some chopped up veggies and I was inspired to make this salad – it’s perfect for lunch. Read the Rest »

Lollipop Lamb Chops for a Party

June 12, 2013 | Meat & Poultry

lamb chops grilledLollipop lamb chops – the frenched rack cut into individual chops – are perfect for a large summer party. They can be grilled ahead of time and reheated in the oven, or simply served cold. Best of all, you can grill up a large portion of the chops and because of the cleaned bones, they are easy to pick up and eat without any utensils. Believe it or not, I grilled 25 racks, which is 200 chops, last week for a party I catered. It was surprisingly easy and the guests raved about the chops. Read the Rest »

Asian Quinoa Salad

June 3, 2013 | Beans & Grains, Special, Vegetables

asian quinoa salad 1Do you ever get an order of edamame beans when you order in Chinese food? The place we love in Denver sends a HUGE order, which means there is no way we can finish them with our meal unless we want to be helplessly bloated. I created this warm Asian salad with the leftovers after our last takeout feast. Read the Rest »

Black Pearl Denver

May 31, 2013 | Restaurants

black pearl denver shrimp tacosOne of the reasons my husband and I moved into the boundaries of the city of Denver (beyond the fact that we wanted to shorten his nearly hour long commute to work from the south suburbs) was to have access to great restaurants. In the suburbs outside of Denver it seems you’re limited to family-style chain restaurants by and large, and although many of them serve perfectly edible food, it’s just not that creative from a culinary perspective. Well, Black Pearl on South Pearl Street, a short 5 minutes from our house, is just the opposite of that. Read the Rest »

Savory Vegetable Crumble

May 29, 2013 | Vegetables

savory vegetable crumbleI’ve had quite a few friends ask me what Pinterest is lately. (These are “older” friends, not the kids who have grown up with all sorts of social media.) When I try to explain it to them, I usually start by saying it’s the one social media forum that I feel actually contributes to productivity – just like old school bulletin boards in an office that allowed you to organize things, Pinterest allows you to do this digitally. I thank the folks at Pinterest for that, or I would surely have lost of the fact that I wanted to make this recipe. Read the Rest »
