One Hot Doctor!

A modern-day alchemist, in search of sanity and the perfect hot sauce. Or salsa. Or sambal. (If it starts with “S” and it’s hot, he likes it.)

Fish 4 Friday: Holiday Pepper Shrimp

Shrimp are popular for parties this time of year. You see them on all sorts of snack platters at various functions and celebrations! They make an appearance fried or boiled, peeled or not; with all sorts of sauces, many of them superposable. (That’s the word of the day, just had to get that in there.) [...] Read more »

Fish 4 Friday: Intense Creole Fish Stew

Some Creole dishes are just plain hot. Think about it: “mild” and “habañero” just don’t get used in the same sentence. And as a community service (that means No Charge to You, this time), the basement elves from the Underground’s Department of Soft-Hearted Litigation Avoidance have asked me to warn you: This Stew Uses Habañero [...] Read more »

F4F: Blowtorch Shrimp on Grits

Ah, the lowly shrimp. Misunderstood, often maligned, regularly overcooked with reckless abandon by all too many closet celebrity chefs.
It doesn’t have to be that way, of course. There are ways to properly prepare this diminuitive denizens of the deep. (Yes, I’ve been reading about alliteration.) Cajun cooks seem to have learned how as well as [...] Read more »

Ask somebody to point out Nepal on a globe, however, and [...] Read more »

Friday Follies: Really Hot Pizza, and a Sinful Feast (For Your Eyes)

Like many Americans, I love pizza. I like to make my own, which is maybe not the norm these days. I also like to go to good pizzerias and get a fresh pie now and again.
However, I’m not a pizza snob. I don’t know the real difference between Chicago style pizza and New York style; [...] Read more »

Breakfast Buffet in Bengaluru

I made it fine into Bengaluru, although it was 2 AM before I got to the hotel and got settled. A few hours of refreshing sleep and I was ready to go!
Breakfast buffet is included in my room fee, and since it was dinnertime (according to my tummy) I was ready to try out a [...] Read more »

660 Curries: Two Great Dipping Sauces

Sauces abound in Indian cooking. Sauces for dipping, sauces for main courses, even sauces for dessert. What else could you expect from the culture that invented chutnies?
Raghavan Iyer’s “660 Curries” presents LOTS of tasty sauces in the Spice Blends and Pastes section.
Iyer’s selections run from very mild, chile-free assemblies of sweet and tart fruits to [...] Read more »
