Chutneys are a nice finishing touch to part of an Indian meal, such as appetizers, rice dishes, roti, bread, and toppings to main Indian dishes. Tangy, sweet, or spiced, chutneys are versatile condiments to add flavor to foods. A favorite condiment in the western-Indian state of Maharashtra is called shengdaana lehsun, also known as a peanut garlic chutney. There are a few variations to this particular chutney, here is one of my favorites. Chef Ravi
Roquefort is a sheep milk cheese from Southern France, considered one of the oldest and greatest cheeses of France. The designation Roquefort is protected by French law. It has been said that it was a favorite cheese of emperor Charlemagne, and in France it is called le fromage des rois et des papes (“the cheese of kings and popes”). It is a great melting cheese to be used in tartes, over grilled steaks, hamburgers and many more dishes. Chef...
I love couscous, perhaps because it was a dish my mom would make often when we lived in North Africa. Couscous is extremely versatile and incredibly practical, in just a few minutes it can be prepared and served. I prepare it in so many ways just like I do with pasta dishes. In this recipe I am using few simple ingredients such as peas, golden raisins, and almonds for an incredibly fragrant dish. Chef Alba
Moroccan cuisine is among the ones I love the most, it is colorful, particular, and delicious. Here is a “tajine kefta", a traditional recipe that includes meatballs, tomato sauce with some spices, and lastly the eggs are nestled in with the cooked meatballs and tomato sauce. Definitely a hearty, sophisticated, yet simple dish. Chef Alba
Pâté of Green olive is rich in flavor and texture attained by the union of the best Green Olives with a high-quality extra virgin olive oil. It’s an excellent creation used as an appetizer, over a bruschetta, topped with ricotta or mozzarella, tossed with pasta, over grilled vegetables, in quiches, to garnish sandwiches, or simply as an accompaniment to a tomato or in a potato salad.
