Pickled onions are definitely amazing. In the DR we serve them over mashed green plantains. SO perfect!

A New Love Affair: Pickled Onions
I came away from Austin with a new love: pickled onions. OK, I did flirt with a fried pickle, but it was just an infatuation. I think my love of the pickled onion has staying power. Going to an IACP Conference is a little like being set down in the middle of a Calcutta rush hour intersection....
Love how you joined and paired all the ingredients together! You're totally right and with pork! Even better!

Rastafar-Asian Fusion Confusion
Asian fusion confusion on a pork chop! Inspired by Vietnamese chef Duc Tran, who is the epitome of fusion. The guy has worked in Texas, Latin America, New Zealand, Australia, Europe and Japan and has two world class restaurants named after Mangos in Hoi An Viet Nam. That’s enough to confuse a...
Loved reading this. I miss being in the kitchen, sweating and having orders shouted at me; in a 120 degree kitchen with your chef telling you to drink gatorade because he doesn't want anyone collapsing on the line (it's happened); passion is what keeps us going, cooking, scrubbing down and cleaning. And passion? Passion is also felt when you get home, shower in two seconds and drop into bed to get up again 4-5 hours later and repeat. I love my passion :) Thanks for reminding me.

Cooking for Love
What happens when you turn your passion into your day job? Could passion turn to drudgery? For me the passion is cooking, for Jeff & I the passion is having people gather around the dinner table. And for both us, the answer is, we’re still passionate about both. I won’t kid you, it’s work. Ma...

Aroma Cucina Giveaway: We have a winner!
Thank you everyone who participated in our giveaway. Great answers, and we agree this is an awesome basket of goodies from Gustiamo; but it is a contest and that means there has to be a winner. Only, we couldn’t decide between two commenters, so we decided to give a basket to each. Congratul...
PORK stuffed Artichokes? Wow, I need to try this. I just have such bad, prickling memories of artichokes...sigh.

Artichoke Festival: Pork Stuffed Artichokes with Lemon Sauce
All good things must come to an end, and this is the finale for the Aroma Cucina Artichoke Festival. But we’re going out with a delicious bang: pork stuffed artichokes with a lemon sauce. It was the last of our big, globe artichokes and I think they were properly honored and devoured! The S...
Why I deserve this? Because when I read what's in the basket, my heart LITERALLY stopped and then started beating real fast. I ramble when I'm excited so bare with me please.
Why I deserve this? Because Italian food is rooted in passion and that's one thing I am: passionate. These ingredients would take my cooking to a different level, not complicated but just simply better. I love the simplicity of a good Italian meal even though my toes have never touched Italian earth. I've been lucky enough to try some amazing Italian food and cheese (Burrata still gives me the chills when I think about it), so if I won this (praying to the Italian gods, saints and angels) I'd blog about it, write about it, sing about it, tweet about it, Facebook about it, stumble upon it, even jump for joy about it. The End and thank you for hosting this amazing giveaway!
