Yup, I Grilled Cookies!

April 11, 2008

One dollar and fifty cents doesn’t buy much anymore these days, but in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, just off-campus from UCLA, a buck-fitty will get you a most wonderfully decadent classic treat: a scoop of ice cream sandwiched between two freshly-baked cookies at a place called Diddy Riese.

A Fish Meandering – Part II

February 16, 2008

The journey continues! Continuing on from Part I of this fish story, the answer finally hit me as I was strolling at a local strip mall: mango salsa! This panini recipe was lacking vibrance and what says “vibrance” in culinary speak better than mango salsa? Now, of course, that addition does start to deviate from [...]

A Fish Meandering – Part I

February 14, 2008

Oh wow. If you thought the road to my Chicken, Apple & Raspberry Panini was long and circuitous you’re not gonna believe what it took to work out my fish sandwich recipe!
