Desert Rain

How humble it is to watch wind, accepting I’ll never see her,
and she’ll never understand what it means to be me. . .

There are as many lemon tart recipes as there are bakers with Grandmas, and as Grandma will attest, the key to all tarts is making the curd. There is an important technique for making curd that is similar to making Cream Anglaise or custard, that must be carefully followed.

Sweet Tart Crust

A good tart begins with the crust. Here is a sweet tart crust that a French pastry chef shared with me. The process for making it is a bit involved, which is how you know it’s French.

Tuna Melt with Bell Pepper

This is a nice keto friendly entree that is both tasty and healthy. I recommend not using red or green bell peppers as they have a strong taste profile that does not harmonize with the other ingredients as well as yellow or orange bell peppers do.

Momofuku Bo Ssäm

Korean roast pork that takes two days to complete. The fun part is that you and your guests make lettuce wraps filled with rice, Kimchi, meat, and two sauces; and even oysters if that’s your deal.

Brined Ham

If you are ready for the rugged men big leagues, then it’s time to ham a leg of pork. There are many different ways to go about this, but I like this fool proof approach especially since it uses bourbon.

Coconut Rice

This is a nice recipe for a rice side dish or to use in other recipes, such as stuffed peppers.

Pork & Bok Choy Udon Soup

Curry Vegetable Soup

This simple, keto friendly soup is not only quick and easy, but adds a unique divergence from what your soup palate is used to, and isn’t that the exciting thing about playing in the kitchen.
