I like to remind you, that our great nation was founded with the ideal of freedom of many different avenues, speech, thought, and of will. People came from all points around the globe to share and treasure this experience that has shaped our great nation. The traditional “Americana” term is really a fusion of food, cooked outdoors on a BBQ Grill (or a Kitchen Grill for that matter), and something that was more of a family & friend event.

So I hosted my Sunday BBQ and cooked up some Kosher Chicken Kufta’s.  I seasoned the ground chicken breast with confetti black pepper, freshly milled, garlic powder and kosher sea-salt finely ground.  I had also grilled some baby Italian eggplants that were coated with a triple filtered virgin olive oil, fresh crushed garlic, Welsh marsh [...]

I decided to throw another “hookah under the stars” feast.

The following is an impromptu stew that I had thought up. I recently purchased three critical stew magazines, The Best of Fine Cooking – Soups & Stews, Cooking Light Soups & Stews and La Cucina Italiana – February 2010 issue. After looking at hundreds of different stew recipes, I formed one in my mind, that [...]
