an adventure in cooking
We’ve been eating great lately, so I must share some recipes with you!
Here are the dishes that kept me busy entertaining the past month.
These take some time, but they are well worth it. Unbeatable unique flavor
Great slow cooking, mostly hands off, meal with tender cuban flavored meat

Chorizo Stuffing SMOTHERED Cauliflower, whaaaaa?! I was not expecting anything mind-blowing from this dish, but wow. It was killer and is definitely a meal in itself.
This dish is based on Mark Bittman’s Whole Cauliflower with Sausage recipe (pg 481 The Food Matters Cookbook), chosen by this week’s Food Members Project member Gracie. I went with Chorizo for the sausage since it’s so accessible here in Miami.
Adding breadcrumbs to the sausage and onion mixture creates a stuffing or hash-like flavor and texture. We saved the leftovers and ate them with scrambled eggs in the morning. Perfecto! Recipe follows.
I’m not, nor do I know if I ever will be, a baker in the sense that I can freely be creative with ratios and ingredients.

You all know I’m obsessed with Asian influenced food. So imagine my excitement when I discovered an authentic Thai cooking class with The Naked Bite {the fabulous Amber Antonelli} just 5 minutes from my house.
This isn’t just any cooking class. She uses only the freshest and healthiest ingredients, has knowledge from living in Thailand herself, makes every step so simple, and the end results are insanely DELICIOUS.
What better to do during a hurricane than make martinis (lots) and play scrabble? That was our weekend 2 weeks ago. I don’t think we ever finished our game. Or did we?
And even better to dream up brand new concoctions like a starfruit, grapefruit, strawberry, vodka and mint martini. Insane!
