Boyfriend Chicken | February 23, 2011

Roast chicken is classic comfort food. A side of mash potatoes, a little wine, some veggies, and a fresh baguette. Sounds pretty good, eh?

Several of my favorite chefs have variations for roast chicken, but each cook has their favorite ingredients to add or not add. But one thing’s for sure; roast chicken will please your man, or GET you a man if you don’t have one.

30-Minute Meals: Ciopino | January 17, 2011

by Vicky DeRosa

Ciopino is thought to have originated in San Francisco. It is believed that Italian immigrants from Genoa began making the stew from the catch of the day in the bay area. Ciopino is a seafood based stew made with, tomatoes, wine and fresh herbs. There are no set rules for the type of seafood to be used.

We enjoy Ciopino on Christmas Eve served over linguine. My family likes it spicy so I add a little extra crushed red pepper to give it heat. It seems to me that leftover Ciopino is … Read More »
