Episodes » Episode 36: Allie's Summertime Pasta
If you're like me and you live in a small,
air-conditionless apartment in the sweltering inferno
that is Brooklyn in the summertime, then you'll
appreciate how difficult it is to cook in June, July
and August. That said, I cook for a living (OK, as a
hobby) so I have to find a way to make it work.
Today's method: showcasing a dish that involves little
to no ACTUAL cooking: my signature Summertime Pasta

Episodes » Episode 35: Enchiladas VerdesSummer is the season of the tomato and I am a tomato-aholic! I can eat fresh tomato salsa by the pound (ask the boyfriend, he's seen me do it). Today's recipe hilights one of my favorite tomato types: the Tomatillo!
The Tomatillo is a small, green fellow. He is essential to Mexican cuisine and he's the star ingredient in today's dish: Enchiladas Verdes.

Episodes » Episode 33: Chana MasalaEpisode 33 is our first jump into Indian food. My recipe for Chana Masala came from weeks of experimenting with this basic recipe. I tried it once verbatim...and it was just OK. 2nd time I played with the spices and it was better, but still not fabulous. 3rd time I added chicken broth and BAM - the wow factor! Just WAIT until you taste this!!
