For those with a taste for spice, food from Jamaica will be right up your alley! We love to cook with pepper, and it is liberally used in many of our Jamaican dishes. Escoveitched fish is one of these. You can tone it down to suit your palate, but quite frankly, if there's no pepper, you'll have to call it something else, as it won't be true escoveitch! The word escoveitch comes originally from the Spanish word "escabeche", which means pickled. The dish is thought to have been introduced into Jamaica when Spanish settlers came to the island in the early 16th century. Whole or sliced fish is fried and then covered with a spicy marinade, which acts as a natural preservative. It was a convenient dish...

ign="center"> Gujarati food is a unique variety of cuisine that is both delicious and intriguing.

Traditionally, tandoori dishes are cooked in a tandoor, an oval shaped clay oven with a small fire in the bottom. The heat rises gradually but ultimately reaches a much higher temperature than a barbeque. A tandoor is normally used to cook naan bread, meats and kebabs (meat or paneer). The bread is stuck to the sides, the kebabs stood vertically and whole chickens rested on a grid over the fire. For domestic cooking, a tandoor is not really convenient but the meat dishes can be reproduced on a barbeque or in the oven. The bright red appearance of tandoori meats which you may see in Indian restaurants is produced by a food dye which really isn't necessary to enhance the look of your tandoori dishes...

One of the things I have always enjoyed is cooking. If I had made some different decisions in my life, I might have ended up a chef. I was raised in the Deep South. I grew up on typical southern fare; cornbread, fried okra, black-eyed peas, grits and so forth. Not everything on the southern table is fried, despite what some might think. In the summer, we often had vegetable suppers with no meat whatsoever. Almost everything was fresh from the garden. We had fresh tomatoes, fresh peas, yellow squash, cucumbers and cabbage along with other in-season fruits and vegetables. What we couldn't eat, was either canned or frozen for the winter. My mother always made lots of vegetable soup. A bowl of homemade...

When I lived in an apartment without a grill I experimented until I learned a good way for slow cooking baby back ribs in the oven.  Good BBQ ribs were one of the foods I missed making for myself and friends and could never find really good ones in a restaurant.  By good ones I mean the kind where the meat falls off the bone and the sauce is an addition to the flavor of the smoked meat, not the whole flavor.  The kind of ribs that you eat at home.  Unless it's a true BBQ place, I've never really enjoyed eating ribs out.  They're not the kind of food you eat in a restaurant, ribs are family and friends backyard food! Hungry yet? The key to slow cooking baby back ribs is the word "slow...

The organic food craze has gotten a solid footing and has spread across the world like an errant wildfire. While more people are switching to healthier, organic versions of their favorite fruits, vegetables, meats and other products, does this mean that traditional food and farming will become a thing of the past?
