A Cooking page with a lil Spyce` - recipes, cookbooks, food

Cook a variety of cuisines with Spycè

What's your favorite meal? Perhaps you and your friends and/or family exchange recipes. I happen to be one of those who finds recipes in the newspaper, in magazines, etc. Any time I really enjoy a dish, I ask the cook/chef for their recipe. (they don't always want to share and SOME people actually give you the wrong measurements for ingredients! can you imagine?)

I'm not an exceptional cook but I've found some excellent recipes and resources. I decided to share them with you!

This part of my website will be growing. You'll find great bargains on a wide variety of cookbooks too! (Yes, I also own more cookbooks than are strictly necessary. I love James Beard. Who's your favorite cook?)

Enjoy yourself. Do try some of the recipes and check out the books. I'll add a form for suggestions and recipes (yes, you'll get credit for your contributions). For now, write to me. You might be interested in reading some of the requests I've had - click to see "We get Letters"!

I received a request for a recipe for Chicken Limonata. The requestor said that there is a sauce that is almost like a gel. This is one Lemon Chicken recipe that meets that criteria! However, I found a description of Chicken Limonata on the web:

"A sauteed chicken breast in a lemony, creamy white wine sauce"

I have a couple recipes that sound as if they would fit that description. If you are interested or if YOU have the recipe, write to me!

Recently, a visitor requested a recipe for bouillabaisse - gosh there are LOTS of those out there! Here is one that is especially yummy!
Note: Unfortunately, the requestor's email address was incorrect so I could not respond directly.

Once-a-month-cooking (OAMC) has been around for a long time. In fact, prior generations often HAD to plan for winter months. Many of us may have done some of it already. I know I often cook enough so that there are leftovers to make at least second meal for later in the week. The concept of OAMC is to spend a certain amount of time cooking, be it a day or two, but with an end result of having enough meals to last through the whole month. This requires some planning.

Not everything freezes well and sometimes you need to slightly undercook some foods so that they don't lose their texture in the process.

I'll be adding some of my success stories with OAMC soon but here's a good reference site. There are lots more in the ring below!
