- Where Have I Been???on Oct 10, 2009Missing in action? Traveling the world? On sabbatical? Sort of, but what matters most is I haven't posted an entry since July! Now the leaves are turning and I'm turning my attention back to Fine & Easy Cooking.With a busy fall ahead I've deci...
- Bison - the other red meatBison, aka American Buffalo, is being touted as a healthier alternative to beef. Leaner, lower in fat, cholesterol, and calories, Bison is truly the "other" red meat.I've now had Bison three times. The first, this past winter on a trip to Deer Valle...
- Menu I - Greek Feaston Jun 22, 2009It's only natural to look to Mediterranean cultures for a summer menu: grilling and fresh vegetables are part of those cultures' DNA. For this menu, once I decided on a main course of lamb kebabs, the rest of the menu easily fell into place.Greek...

- Eat your veggies (part 2) Escarole & BeansYesterday was Marathon Monday and the 113th running of the Boston Marathon. Seeing 25,000 plus dedicated athletes attempt to complete this grueling course is inspiring. For some, it means it is time to lace-up those running shoes. For those of us w...
- Sauteed MushroomsI never gave much thought to something as simple as sauteed mushrooms. That all changed after tasting some mushrooms which wowed me. So what sets apart a great dish of sauteed mushrooms from the mundane? Texture. A delicious sauteed mushroom is f...
- Passover Sweets - Flourless Chocolate Cake to the RescueFor generations, Jews have relied on sponge cake and its variants to provide a sweet ending to their Passover meals. Yes, there was the occasional meringue, and there were always the exceedingly sweet macaroons, but something that could fill the sho...
