Biscoff®️ Cookie Butter Flan
A sweet and salty dessert that is perfect for crowds! It can be made well in advance of a dinner party. Plus, you can substitute with Nutella if you cannot find Biscoff Cookie Butter.
Mussels in Chipotle Cream
Mussels in white wine cream sauce but make it Mexican. All praise goes to Chef Gabriela Camera for her lovely, simple interpretation of a delicious seafood dinner.
Pho-Spiced Candied Jalapeños
I decided to make a batch of candied jalapeños that are spiced with pho flavors. Be careful, these are extremely addictive. These would be fabulous served with a chicken liver pâté or a hot spinach artichoke dip.
Curry Braised Chicken Wings
While fried chicken wings are delicious; Braised chicken wings are totally slept on. This is a take on a dish my grandmother makes but instead of a soybean-based sauced, I opted for Japanese curry roux blocks which make for an easy, delicious braising liquid turned sauce.
Black-Eyed Pea Gumbo
A new take on the black-eyed pea tradition for New Year’s Day. This vegan black-eyed pea gumbo is an excellent substitution for plain ole boiled ones. Plus, who wouldn’t want a nice, healing bowl of gumbo on a cold December evening?
