Guijuelo Jamón Iberico

Thyme for Cooking, Blog Posted on February 12, 2019 by Katie ZellerFebruary 12, 2019

Thyme for Cooking, Blog Posted on November 6, 2015 by Katie ZellerNovember 6, 2015

We love dining in Barcelona.

Occasionally, okay, very, very rarely, I do a post without a recipe. This is one of those times.

The food we had at both of these restaurants in Barcelona was so exceptional that I couldn’t bring myself to add one … Continue reading.....

The Dinner Party

Thyme for Cooking, Blog Posted on May 4, 2014 by Katie ZellerMay 5, 2014

The dinner party was a success, so I’m told.

The food was delicious (IMO) and a good time was had by all – if laughter and animated conversation are an indicator.

I decided on a different approach this time. In the past I’ve made dishes … Continue reading.....

Happy New Year!

Thyme for Cooking, Blog Posted on January 1, 2014 by Katie ZellerJanuary 1, 2014

We’re part of the group that doesn’t (normally) go out on New Year’s Eve.

We (normally) stay home, in front of the fire, and have a nice dinner, a nice bottle of wine and no worries about being on the road.

We went out last … Continue reading.....

Summer Picnics and Picnic Hampers, do it right…

Thyme for Cooking, Blog Posted on July 2, 2013 by Katie ZellerOctober 15, 2018

There is just something about warm weather and picnics that brings out the child in me.

I want to spread a cloth on a velvety, green lawn, pour a glass of something pink and bubbly and watch the world go by.

Goat Cheese Samosas??? Salmon and Avocado Cigars

Thyme for Cooking, Blog Posted on June 2, 2013 by Katie ZellerAugust 10, 2013

The question marks are because of the cheese.

Samosas are typical of Asian and North African cuisine where cheese is rarely used.

But they are also served around the Mediterranean where cheese is eaten in vast quantities.

And it’s my kitchen and I can do … Continue reading.....

Barley Salad with Red and Green Peppers; too much of a good thing? NON!

Thyme for Cooking, Blog Posted on May 15, 2013 by Katie ZellerAugust 10, 2013

While I’m waiting for my lettuce and spinach to get large enough to pick we have to be happy with other types of salad.

Thyme for Cooking, Blog Posted on April 3, 2013 by Katie ZellerAugust 10, 2013

I could never find real (or fake) maple syrup in Andorra or Ireland.
