greek whole roasted snapper

I love Greek food for its simplicity and deliciousness, and using fresh, whole ingredients like lemon, garlic, oregano and olive oil, makes all the difference. Yesterday I was craving a Greek salad, so I bought the ingredients to make it for dinner. Personally, I would have been satisfied with just a big salad, but hubby…

Calamondin, Lemon & Rosemary Salt

February 10, 2016 by Nicole Coudal

Citrus Rosemary Salt

According to Jay Rayner, British food critic, “Salt is the difference between eating in Technicolor and eating in black and white.”   How true!  Unless you’re on a low-sodium diet, salt is a basic flavor enhancer in your kitchen.

Lemon, Parsley & Garlic Grouper

January 13, 2016 by Nicole Coudal

Lemon Parsley Grouper

It’s Red Grouper season in (State) Gulf waters, so we’ve been enjoying it immensely. When cooked, Red Grouper’s flesh is bright white and it has a delicious, mild flavor (I’ve heard it described as a cross between Halibut and Bass).

Roasted Spicy & Sweet Chickpeas

December 9, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

crispy spicy sweet chickpeas

You can call them chickpeas or garbanzo beans, but ultimately they’re just plain yummy and I’ve loved them since I was a kid.  These funny looking legumes are not only tasty, but also, high in protein, fiber, iron and magnesium. And, as my doctor reminds me, beans are extremely beneficial to us (well, me, especially)…

Flounder with Mint-Lemon Gremolata

September 2, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

flounder with gremolata 2

Gremolata might sound like a fancy word but it’s really just a mixture of a few ingredients and it brightens up just about anything it’s paired with, especially braised meats which tend to be heavy (eg. you usually see it served with osso buco). Traditional gremolata is a mixture of minced parsley, lemon rind and…
