Peaches and Cream Russian Gratin

This is not, as you may have divined, one of those recipes that yields beautiful food. Each bit is not an aesthetic delight, and this is not going to grace the cover of any food publication that I know. But what it is is this: deeply, deeply del (read full article)

White Almond Garlic Gazpacho with Green Grapes

With the dog days of summer still to come, it’s useful to have a few recipes up your sleeve that require NO cooking. Not three hours in the oven, not 30 minutes on the stove, not boiling water, not a toaster oven. There are times when raisin (read full article)

Spring’s Parmesan Rosemary Chicken

One of the things I love most about writing a food blog is that people come out of the woodwork with their best and most cherished recipes. I don’t know if they want a moment in this small spotlight, they entrust me, as an “expert” (read full article)

Trufflepalooza 2010

Mostly, Savour Fare is about enabling. I truly believe that, to quote Ratatouille (when you have a 2.5 year old in the house, you watch a lot of Pixar movies), “Anyone can cook.” I try to provide you with the tools and confidence to co (read full article)

Soupe Au Pistou – Feels Like Home

The first meal you cook in a new kitchen feels portentous. As if the success or failure of all future culinary endeavors rests on the results of that one meal. It shouldn’t be too simple, or too fancy. You don’t want too much room for (read full article)

Summertime

I don’t have any new recipes for you today. No photos, no witty anecdotes, nothing. There are two reasons for this. The first is that although I have been cooking — I promise! — I have yet to get internet successfully installed (read full article)

Spoon Bread with Honeyed Yogurt and Berries — Happy Fourth of July!

Whew. Well we moved. And although we’re not yet totally unpacked (far from it), my kitchen is starting to look like a functional kitchen, and I’m beginning to have glimmers of interest in actually cooking again. It’s almost lik (read full article)

Buttermilk Pecan Sticky Bun Coffee Cake

I do apologize for my quiet recently. It all stems from some exciting news, which is that after years of bubble sitting, Ken and I finally bit the bullet and bought a house. I say “bought” but we don’t own it yet. Please keep yo (read full article)

Meal Planning, Shopping and Ziplist

I haven’t written up an FAQ for Savour Fare, but if I did, it might consist of only one question: “How do you find the time to do it all?” I have a full time job outside the home, a charming but demanding toddler, a somewhat less (read full article)

Grits and Greens Casserole – Almost Meatless Monday

I’ve never been tempted to be a vegetarian. I never went through that adolescent phase where I got squeamish about meat. I don’t find chickens or cows particularly cute; I will cheerfully handle raw meat; and I cook live crustaceans (I (read full article)

What I learned at Camp

So this weekend I went to camp. Those of you who know me will be unsurprised to find that camping and I don’t exactly mix well. I’m not as bad as my father, who defines “camping” as a suite at the Ahwahnee, but the history (read full article)

Savory Baked French Toast Croque Monsieur (with Ham and Cheese)

Chicken Curry

I grew up in the kitchen. From a tender age, I watched my mother cook dinner every night, and began “helping”, by stirring a sauce here, adding a pinch of herbs there. But soon I began branching out on my own. I have a very clear mem (read full article)

California Pizza Kitchen Barbecue Chicken Chopped Salad

Back in the day when I lived in New York, I was more than a little homesick. I pined and yearned for my home state of California, and pounced on everything I could find that reminded me of home. I wore flipflops at the very first sign of spring in (read full article)

Blueberry Lime Muffins With and Food Blogger Bake Sale

I’m not much of a muffin girl. Despite my rather extreme sweet tooth, I don’t tend to like sweets for breakfast, and most muffins are just cupcakes without frosting. And the times I actually want something sweet — elevenses or te (read full article)
