• Yuca Frita – Fried Cassava Root

  This is one of our favorite after work out treats, which Henry grew up with in Colombia. These are very easy to make, but require a few steps that you cannot skip or mess up. Note: Cassava must be cooked properly to detoxify it before it is eaten. If you soft boil the root, then…

• Tomato Cardamom Shrimp Entree

  My dad loves shrimp and does not get them often enough in Austria, so of course one of the first requests was to cook him some. He likes fresh vegetables and herbs, and vine ripe tomatoes. Hmmm…I thought, how do I whip him up something tasty and introduce something new at the same time that…

• Salmon Bacon Budget Breakfast

  Salmon is always a healthy and delicious option, but it’s not the first thing that comes to mind for breakfast. Today we’d like to feature less common and less expensive part of this great fish…Salmon bellies, or “Salmon Bacon”; the extra fat content in the bellies makes these especially desirable for their healthy Omega-3 fats.…

  We have all watched Julia Child in some  moment of  inspiration or another.  She was great!  Today we’d like to celebrate her with a Paleoish version of Beef Bourguignon.  This is not a dish for the light hearted, and not a dish for folks with little patience. It is a dish for cooks that like to…
