Morel mushrooms are prized for their deep, rich taste; their appearance in specialty markets is practically an announcement in Michigan that "spring is here!" So when I found some available recently, I bought a few. Just a few — they cost $50 per pound! But for a couple of judiciously-spent ...
Passover ended Saturday at sundown — no more matzah for another year! All the forbidden foods — breads, cakes, cookies, corn, lentils, everything — can be enjoyed again. Pizza is a very common treat for getting reacquainted with yeast and light, airy baked goods. Pasta is another food that seems ...
The forecast says spring but my mindset's in winter, as are the produce bins in local groceries; alas, local vegetables haven't caught up with the weather.
I adore fennel, but don't know many others who do — all the more for me, I guess, but I really think it's unfortunate that more people aren't fans of this fabulous vegetable. It has a fragrance and taste similar to anise, which is similar to black licorice. It's ...
I happen to be reading the very well-timed "I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti" by Giulia Melucci. I'd heard of the book when it was first published, and then happened to just blunder into it at the library last week... the universe offers us what we need at the ...
I had my first bite of farro a year ago, when Zingerman's Roadhouse added a Farro Piccolo dish with mushrooms, parmesan and cream to their menu. I wasn't familiar with farro prior to that, and on first taste I thought I was sampling a pasta or perhaps a chewy rice. ...
I've been a bit of a slacker with my cooking contests in recent years, due to a significant lack of time (and, admittedly, sometimes a lack of inspiration). But I'm trying to get ye olde groove back again. So when my friend Angela of Foodie Road Show told me about ...

Andouille Sausage with Greens and Mushrooms I'm hungry for some sautéed greens and vegetables. I thought I'd add a bit of flavor to the mix with some diced andouille sausage, which easily transforms this simple supper into an upscale Cajun dining affair.
Last month I wrote an article and recipe about Spinach-Stuffed Mushrooms and, in the blog, inferred I had a recipe for a pricier Crab-Stuffed Mushroom. A request was made for that crab-stuffed version and I'm happy to oblige. It's a wonderful finger food or side-dish, especially at this time of ...
A University of Michigan football player was arrested this morning after a female student reported he sexually assaulted her. The man was questioned and released as detectives continue to investigate the 2 a.m. incident in the 600 block of South State Street, Ann Arbor police Det. Dave Monroe said. Police ...
One way I've coaxed children and adults to love vegetables is by stuffing them. My kids wouldn't go near bell peppers until I stuffed and baked them with ground beef and rice topped with tomato sauce.
I recently sampled this Lemon Mushroom Linguini at a pot luck and begged Dave, the author, for the recipe. He happily consented to share this tangy pasta with a "no-cook" sauce . Of late I'm discovering friends find food, rather than football, a more amiable and interesting topic of discussion.
Ang Lee was once quoted in the soon-to-be-departed Gourmet magazine, saying: “(Food) is affection. You cook, your beloved eats. That is very emotional ….” So after being taken out for amazing meals in recent weeks at Conor O’Neill’s, at Prickly Pear, and at Mac’s in Saline with a handsome gentleman ...
