A Nice Chianti and Fava Beans? No. Muhammara? Thumbs Off–er, Up

by Ricki Heller 24 Comments

I’ll never forget the phrase that haunted me for months when I was about 16: delivered in a low, undulating murmur heard through the telephone receiver, a deep, throaty male voice posed a simple question:  “Have you checked the children?” Anyone who recognizes that line is familiar with the horror movie When a Stranger Calls.  The premise is […]

So Dreamy: Rachel Albert-Matesz’s The Ice Dream Cookbook* (and Recipe!)

by Ricki Heller 22 Comments

* Or, Dream a Little Dream of Rich, Creamy, Delectable Frozen Desserts [Dried Apricot Pistachio Ice Dream] When I was contacted about a month ago to see if I’d be interested in examining a review copy of the upcoming The Ice Dream Cookbook by Chef Rachel Albert-Matesz, I have to admit I was a bit hesitant at […]

Kitchen Sink Kitchari (an Anti-Candida Stew)

by Ricki Heller 35 Comments

[UPDATE, JUNE 2010:  In March, 2009, I began a much more serious (and much more restrictive) candida diet after suffering from myriad candida symptoms for more than 6 months.  Finally, with a raging rash taking over my torso, I had to succumb and begin the diet afresh.  After 15 months (so far) I’m 90% better, […]

Sweet Potato and Ginger Salad

by Ricki Heller 32 Comments

[Sweet Potato and Ginger Salad–recipe below.] Ah, yes, life is sweet.  Not so much in the “I’m a celebrity, I haven’t a care in the world, I’m revoltingly rich, beautiful and vacuous” kind of way; but more in the “every which way I turn I see or think ‘sweet,’ most recently the chocolate chip blondies I devoured last week” kind […]

Flash in the Pan: Mex-Ital Tofu Scramble

by Ricki Heller 21 Comments

[I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly, or else is so easy to make that no recipe is required.  Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.”] [Non-salsa version] Oooh. . . I’m feeling the crunch.  I wish I could say that’s the “crunch” of a […]

Sweet and Spicy Tempeh

by Ricki Heller 27 Comments

After the HH and I had been dating for about four months and he’d already passed the “willing to tolerate my multiple quirks and neuroses” test, I decided it would be acceptable for him to finally meet my family and old friends in Montreal.  I cajoled coerced begged invited him to join me one weekend as I […]

Lucky Comestible III (3): Mango Avocado Salad

by Ricki Heller 15 Comments

[I thought it would be fun to run a little series over here at DDD: I’ll profile one one of my favorite foods, or a food that I’ve recently discovered and enjoyed, over several days.  For this third entry, I’m focusing on Avocados. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky […]

When Cheesecake is Love*

by Ricki Heller 29 Comments

*apologies to Geneen Roth   [Well, I really hadn’t meant to write about my mother for two entries in a row.  Maybe it was all of your wonderful comments about yesterday’s “mom story”; maybe it was an offshoot of Mother’s Day earlier in the month; maybe I’m just feeling all mushy and sentimental after watching the over-the-top , tear-filled […]

Kale and Potato Lasagna*

by Ricki Heller 26 Comments

*Or, Mastering the Legacy of Mush and Goo When I was a kid, my mother was a fairly conventional 1960s housewife (well, except for the Valium) whose cooking style, too, adhered to convention; she’d cook pretty much the same seven dinners every week, according to the day: Mondays were hamburgers and mashed potatoes.  Tuesdays were veal chops and green beans.  Wednesdays were franks and beans.
