Dining al fresco 101
By Devora Rogers - Europeans Do it Better series
With longer days and summer approaching, there’s nothing that I miss more than Europe’s sprawling terraces and outdoor cafes. While in Spain last year, I experienced their “terraza culture” which, if you’re not familiar is a fanaticism for outdoor bar and dining terraces. Madrid’s become famous for these spaces, perched atop buildings in the downtown area. While we may not have the table-lined streets of Paris or the terrazas of Spain, we do have tables, we do have food and we can bring them both outside. Read More »

Italian Baked Salmon
I used Salmon Filets when I made this since I like them better than Salmon Steaks. I find they have less bones in them than the steaks do. It looks like a lot of ingredients but all the ingredients go into the food processor except the salmon. 4 tablespoons olive oil 2 minced... Read More »

Delicious: Carol cooks Thomas Keller, makes us feel inadequate
Sometimes, someone will take on a project of such difficulty and such magnitude, attempt such great heights and risk such great failure that you think they must be crazy, out of their minds, a little loopy and totally off their rocker. But you also have to respect their courage, their recklessness, the far-sweeping reach of their dreams and their great and admirable determination in pursuing them. And then, you applaud when they achieve those dreams, believe in a better world where everyone can be a winner, and hope they can invite you over for dinner. Read More »

Break out the pitchers—it’s Sangria season
By Maggie Nemser, Shine staff, on Wed May 14, 2008 11:21am PDTSangría may mean “blood” in Spanish but to me it means “ideal libation for springtime parties.” It's basically punch made with red wine, chopped fruit, OJ and a little brandy or Triple Sec. Oh, and some water avec gas. I'm getting loopy just thinking about it. You don’t, however, always have to follow tradition, as I was reminded when I stumbled on Lisa Shea’s website devoted to all things Sangria. She’s quite the innovator as she’s got recipes for Irish whiskey Sangria, cognac Sangria, and even a Sangria made with cinnamon Red Hots... Read More »
