Case in point, this cilantro lime shrimp. If you have shrimp fresh and ready to go, it takes 10 or 15 minutes to cook, tops. If you are starting with frozen shrimp, maybe you have to add another 10 minutes to defrost it. Cilantro and lime are one of those master combinations, which works well with steak, chicken, fish, and especially shrimp. Start with few slices of serrano chiles and garlic in a little oil in a hot pan. Toss in the shrimp, stir a little, cook a little, and when the shrimp are pink, turn off the heat and add the cilantro and lime. That's it! Couldn't be easier, and now you have a perfect little light meal. I like to wrap mine in a heated tortilla. So good!

If I'm not mistaken it was one of the usual dressings for a typical California salad with mixed greens, alfalfa sprouts and sunflower seeds, that one could order at the aptly named Good Earth restaurant in Palo Alto. It sounds like a dressing right out of Marin Country central casting, but apparently it was invented in the 20s, by the chef at the Palace Hotel (beautiful hotel, still there) in San Francisco, to commemorate the actor George Arliss and his play, The Green Goddess. Pre-Internet, not knowing the provenance of this dressing, all I cared about was that it tasted good, good enough to mask the taste of alfalfa sprouts which thankfully people don't eat much of any more, and it was called "green" and "goddess" which appealed to this Birkenstock-wearing hippie wanna-be.

Fioritura al Piano Grande 2012 Asparagus, Cherry Tomato & Mozzarella Salad Buffalo Mozzarella With Oven Roasted Tomatoes & Peppers Mussels In White Wine With Sopressata & Sun-Dried Tomatoes Search Italian Food Forever Fioritura al Piano Grande 2012 It has been so warm hot here in Umbria recently that we are doing everything we can do cool down, including taking a quick trip to one of my favorite places in the mountains, Castelluccio. One of the most famous centerpieces of the area is the Piano Grande, a huge 16 square kilometer plain surrounded by the barren Sibillini mountain range that once was a glacier lake. This entire area falls in the Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini, one of the most recently established Italian national parks,...

When it is this warm, I find it difficult to spend too much time in the kitchen, and usually prefer to grill outdoors, or to do much of my meal preparation in the morning before the day gets too hot. I love vegetable salads in the summer on very warm days as they are not too heavy, and yet are very satisfying. On a recent trip to the grocery store, I spied bunches...

We do a lot of entertaining here in Umbria, and along with the meals I prepare for guests upon request, I like to have a number of “go to” dishes that I know I can pull together easily without a lot of fuss and that everyone will love. This dish is a recent invention that basically came...

After my first taste of this dish in a seaside restaurant along the coast of Italy, I knew I had to learn to make it myself at home. I have made this dish often ever since as it is such an easy dish to make, and mussels are very inexpensive compared to many other types of seafood. We make steamed mussels sometimes in tomato sauce, and sometimes in... Read the whole entry » • Email to a friend • Article Search •
