January 4, 2016 By Tanji 1 Comment

The key to looking and feeling your best this New Year may be as simple as a piping hot bowl of soup. And science agrees! Research has shown that a serving of the good stuff often makes for the perfect meal substitute to richer, higher-calorie dense foods.

Best Osso Bucco Recipe & Best Cookbook!

October 5, 2014 By Tanji Leave a Comment

One of my favorite cookbooks is The Escoffier Cookbook, given to me by an old friend of many years ago. Auguste Escoffier’s original cookbook that this version is based on was published in France in 1903. He was truly a master of French cuisine and opened the world’s eyes to its genius.

Pre-Game with Goodies On Super Bowl Sunday!

January 30, 2012 By Tanji Leave a Comment

Even though our beloved Cowboys or Texans didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, chances are we’ll all take in some of Sunday’s game…even if it’s just to see Madonna’s half-time performance. If you’re tired of hot wings, queso and the usual Super Bowl snacks, I’ve got some delicious alternatives like a warm brie with a caramel agave topping for starters.

Shining Examples of Osso Buco Done Right!

January 16, 2012 By Tanji 1 Comment

This brief burst of winter weather is reason enough to skip the salads and soups and opt for big food- you know, the braised meats like short ribs, osso buco and the like. The rich, hearty flavors, velvety thick sauces and fork tender meat make for a satisfying meal.
