Spicy Geera Shrimp (Caribbean Roasted Cumin)

I didn’t fully appreciate geera (roasted cumin) until adulthood. Now I use it in so many dishes. This Spicy Geera Shrimp combines smoky roasted cumin with spicy peppers for a quick and vibrant seafood dish. Ready in under 10 minutes, it packs bold Caribbean flavors and is perfect as a lively appetizer or satisfying main. Inspired by Geera Pork often enjoyed with rum, this shrimp version is equally

Jamaican Callaloo with Ground Turkey

With an abundance of fresh callaloo (aka spinach or chorai bhagi) in my garden last summer and the many requests for a version of the classic Jamaican Callaloo with Saltfish (salted cod) without the saltfish, I’ve been playing around with a few variations. I’m a huge fan of salted cod and not a fan of turkey, but I had to admit that this recipe was simply delicious.

Homemade Rum Raisin Ice Cream

I’ve always treated Homemade Rum Raisin Ice Cream as a Sunday lunch celebration staple, dusting off Dad’s old crank ice cream maker was a signal that something special was coming. My version is inspired by that nostalgia, swapping the store-bought version for a silky custard infused with rum‑soaked raisins. With a low‑heat soak option for kid-friendly sweetness, this ice cream blends creamy richne

Sourdough Pumpkin Dinner Rolls

Near the end of the year, I start stockpiling pumpkin puree from the market. The cans appear and I can’t help myself but grab an armful and start thinking about all the things it’ll find its way into: pancakes, waffles, pies, and of course, bread. This year, I wanted to take the puree into a softer, chewier direction: sourdough pumpkin dinner rolls.

Rich and Flaky Sourdough Discard Biscuits

What makes a biscuit “good” is truly in the eye of the beholder. Some want a fluffy, yeasty biscuit that’s almost a dinner roll (lots of leavener, no layers of butter). Some want a biscuit dough that can be mixed up and dropped on a sheet pan in less than ten minutes (lots of liquid and fat—Fanny Farmer called this cakey style “emergency biscuits”.) I want a biscuit that’s cut from a tender-yet-st

Can You Safely Grill In Your Garage?

If you live in an area with high humidity, you know that summers can feel like a never ending rainstorm — a bit of a buzzkill when you're trying to barbecue. When it's raining, your grill can't heat properly and next thing you know, both you and your meat are soaking wet. If you are craving barbecue while the weather is not ideal, why not just move the grill into the garage where it's dry? We spok

How Butter Can Upgrade The Flavor Of Your Ramen Broth

There are a multitude of ways to customize ramen, be it instant or homemade. Giada De Laurentiis doctored up her college ramen to taste more like a bowl of pasta; Tim Anderson tops his with scallops, bacon, and eggs. But if you want to really boost the flavor and enhance your eating experience, it all starts with the broth, and a pat or two of butter in your ramen adds something special. Not only

The Spicy And Sour Sandwich Ingredient For A Savory Breakfast Upgrade

When you think of breakfast foods, you likely don't imagine something tasting spicy, or sour; but you may want to reconsider. Kimchi, a super popular savory Korean condiment, which is usually served as a side to later-in-the-day meals or as a topping for ramen, might be just the thing to break the rules of breakfast. Kimchi's strong taste and crunch can bring an interesting twist to your morning.
