Cottage Pie, Instant Pot; plum blossoms

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 28, 2021 by KateFebruary 28, 2021
Beef Pie, Instant Pot

This is a Cottage Pie rather than a Shepherd’s Pie because it’s made with beef, not lamb. It’s made in the Instant Pot with shredded potatoes rather than the oven with mashed potatoes because…. Well, why not? I made this on one of those rare nights when I really needed something quick and was not in the mood to cook. We had spent a long day running errands, which is … Continue reading →

Red Cabbage, Instant Pot; and a salad

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 26, 2021 by KateFebruary 26, 2021
Red Cabbage, Instant Pot

I love cabbage of all colors but I particularly love red cabbage. It’s sweet and sour flavor goes well with assertive meats like duck, goose or venison; and with bland meats like chicken breasts. Toss it with pasta, eat it over potatoes, add it to sandwiches….. When one is cooking for two and cooking something the size of a cabbage it’s important that the result be flexible. We like it … Continue reading →

Lasagne Bolognese; cook books for kids

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 24, 2021 by KateFebruary 24, 2021
Lasagna Bolognese

I have been cooking almost every day for most of my life. I’m getting tired of doing it. When I was single I cooked soups and stews and sauces; freezing portions. I could have a varied menu every week without having to cook every night. But I’m perfectly happy to live on soups and stews and pastas….. and risotto which doesn’t require much effort. After I married we ate more … Continue reading →

Ragù Bolognese

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 21, 2021 by KateFebruary 21, 2021
Ragù Bolognese

Mac & Cheese is to Americans what Spag Bol is to British. To be more clear: Mac & Cheese = elbow pasta with a cheese sauce; Spag Bol = Spaghetti Bolognese. To be fair the American label for their favorite comfort food is fairly accurate. The British label for their favorite nursery food is not even close to spaghetti with a real Ragù Bolognese. Not to be too critical, Spag … Continue reading →

Teriyaki Chicken and Rice, Instant Pot; sad daffs

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 19, 2021 by KateFebruary 19, 2021
Teriyaki Chicken & Rice

One of the things I like best about learning to use new toys is clear, concise, consistent directions. It would appear that such directions are not available for the Instant Pot. I would attribute the lack to the fact that most recipes seem to be created on the fly by amateur cooks and not rigorously tested like in the cook books of old. Or they’re tested but no thought is … Continue reading →

Bread Baking Babes star in Non, Non, Nan(ette)

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 17, 2021 by KateFebruary 20, 2021

Anyone besides me remember that? Actually, I don’t remember it either….. I just remember the title No, No, Nanette. The Babes actually made ‘Non / Nan’ for the big February anniversary party. And they got very fancy with it, using stamps, and other kitchen tools. More about that later. I was seriously contemplating baking the bread this, for our ‘Baker’s Dozen Anniversary’ but, after having a look at the bread … Continue reading →

Brussels Sprouts, Sautéed; sunrise, partie deux

Thyme for Cooking Posted on February 14, 2021 by KateFebruary 14, 2021
Fried Brussels Sprouts

My mother was not an adventurous cook or eater. She liked the familiar. I didn’t taste broccoli, cauliflower or Brussels sprouts until I was an adult living on my own. That’s when I discovered frozen vegetables. My mother never bought frozen vegetables. I was so excited when I tried Brussels sprouts for the first time. Despite the fact that they were covered in cheese (Bird’s Eye Frozen) I thought they … Continue reading →
