For their
Halloween special last Friday,
Regis Philbin and
Kelly Ripa dressed up in fourteen different costumes, four of which included celebrity chefs. Regis yelled at the audience as
Gordon Ramsay while Ripa's
Paula Deen munched on a butter kabob that she washed down with a glass of oil. The real
Guy Fieri showed up to cook a flank steak with the "chefs."
Last week my mother presented me with a beautiful little cooking pumpkin. Since the weather has been cooler, I knew I had to make a soothing soup. This easy recipe highlights the pure flavor of pumpkin.
Besides the requisite cup of coffee, my favorite brunch drink is the
Bloody Mary. But after trying the Bloody Maria, I think I may need to reconsider.
A Bloody Maria is essentially a Bloody Mary made with tequila instead of vodka.
The other day while searching for the ultimate piña colada recipe, I came across this recipe for a piña colada mojito. Intrigued, I decided to find out how lime and mint combine with pineapple and coconut. The final result was absolutely divine, a refreshing mix of tart, sweet, and creamy flavors.
Now is the time to eat specialties like shrimp and King salmon in season, and — as
this chef knows —there's no better way to enjoy the bounty of the sea than preparing a seafood rendition of the traditional Spanish dish
paella.
Paella has a reputation for being difficult to make because of its long cooking time, but the beginner recipe below takes 45 minutes or less to prepare from start to finish. If you've got a paella pan and a little more time on your hands, take a stab at the more advanced version, which is made on the grill.
What do you get when you combine crispy, salty chips with spicy, melty cheese and fresh, flaky crab? Some amazingly delicious nachos! Between the newly-picked crab, the homemade pico de gallo, and the pepper-jack bécamel, these nachos are more gourmet than ghetto — who said
Mexican food can't be high end?
