Chicken Curry From Our Vietnamese New Year Celebration
Welcome to the year of the Horse. I hope you will enjoy this dish and the Vietnamese chicken soup. They will give you a glimpse into my family’s gathering and the traditions we have developed over the years. My Ma was a wonderful cook. Preparing her classic dishes brings back warm memories of our times…
Ancho Chicken With Warm Corn, Zucchini and Tomato Salad
Adapted from the Washington Post – Ellie Krieger’s Nourish column on Sept 10, 2014 I love spending time in the kitchen with my kids – yes, both cooking AND eating.! This week, my son was home, so in classic fashion, I set out about 20 recipes that I wanted to make and had him make the final…
Delightful Food Experiences in Vietnam
When we were in Vietnam, we spent a few days in HoiAn, a town known for its silk and for its tailors who can create a dress or suit to your liking overnight. There’s also a very successful chef and entrepreneur, Ms. Vy, who owns 5 restaurants. In any tour book, you can find information…

Chicken with clementines and ouzo
Roasted Chicken with Clementines and Arak (or Ouzo)I was fortunate to receive a bottle of ouzo from one of my dear Greek patients. When I was in Turkey, I enjoyed relaxing over a small glass of ouzo, turned cloudy with ice. When I mentioned to one of my nurses, Shula, that I was so happy…
Spiced Lentil and Quinoa Stew
As the weather gets colder and it gets dark earlier, comfort foods are the way to go. This is a wonderful stew packed with protein from vegetarian sources, so they are cholesterol-free, and very filling. Interesting recipe because you cook the quinoa and lentils dry – toasting them – then add the broth and come…
