While reading Too Many Cooks by Emily Franklin I saw the recipe for Crackling Shrimp with Coconut Lime Noodles and craved it immediately. With the time change and spring teasing us, it seemed like the perfect dish. Her book is a wonderful account of a year in the life of her family and the…
Where we came from often influences the food we make. In many cultures recipes are passed down from generation to generation. When they are in the right mood kids love to hear bits and pieces of family history and they have already chosen family favorites that they love us to make. Recipes are such a…
Each month a group of my friends have been gathering to talk about social media. Each of us has projects we are working on. One designs clothes, another designs invitations, a few of us blog and one is in real estate. It has turned into a rich evening of sharing with friends. We hold each…

I love potatoes. Baked, mashed, gratin, fried, they are all good. Last year I saw a recipe from Cooking Light for a Baked Potato Soup. After a crazy few weeks today seemed like the perfect day for a comforting bowl of soup. The soup tastes so good you will assume it is rich and bad…
I have wanted to try one of the “fool” recipes I keep seeing in magazines and on other blogs. Tonight I finally took action. It is a very simple dessert taking less than ten minutes to whip up. It is related to trifles and tiramisu, a combination of pureed blackberries and whipped cream. I cut…
If you are wondering why it has been so quiet here at Adventures in the Kitchen it is because my computer crashed and died. Not just once, but three times in the last month. It has now checked into the Apple repair, after a brief stay at another tech room and I hope to pick…
Last week we had a day after the 4th barbecue with friends. It was a bit of a potluck so I brought my Summer Fiesta Salad. When I was here a few weeks ago each room had a small plate of Ojai Pixie Tangerines. They were so delicious that I took the rest home. I had…
This Cherry, Jalapeno Relish recipe was inspired by the amazing cherries that are in season right now. I have been exploring the farmers markets in Orange County for a new project. We are fortunate to have one in many of our cities. Almost every day there is a farmers market you could visit. This year…
Seo Tools I made this Arugula Salad with Tangerines and Carmelized Fennel last weekend. It was so good I could have licked the plate clean. I didn’t, but I could have. The combination of the fennel, arugula and tangerines accompanied by a sweet yet tart White Balsamic Vinaigrette was refreshing on a summer day. You…
Summer entertaining is here. Since I am not a meat eater, I am always looking for new ways to cook chicken. This Hoisin BBQ chicken with Tropical Salsa is one of the new ways I am cooking it this summer. The hoisin sauce is sweet yet spicy. The salsa has pineapple, mango, strawberries and red…
I have been on a bit of a cookie roll lately. Peanut butter and chocolate are such a tasty combination. I loved Reese’s Peanut Butter cups as a kids. I saw a recipe for flowerless Peanut Butter Cookies and decided to give them a try. I made more than a few adaptations but these were…
