seasonal, modern, exuberant
It’s hard to resist potatoes. Puréed, boiled, baked, fried, roasted… no matter how you cook them, these humble roots always taste good.
But bake oven fries with cumin seeds and these spuds are not just good, they’re sublime. The cumin seeds, while roasting along with the potatoes, acquire a deep flavor and add a bit of crunch to each slice – making them addictive and dreamy!

When Mary Lynn Mitcham, Chief Editor of Rockland Magazine asked me to do a feature on tapas, I was thrilled. After all, I simply adore tapas!
But what are tapas, exactly? Traditionally, they are little bites that accompany a glass of sherry or wine and served in bars all over Spain.
For Spaniards, going out for tapas is not so much about the food as it is a life style – a perfect way to mingle and socialize after work or while on a lunch break. Many tapas bars serve only the specialty of the house, so it’s not unusual for people to practice tapeo, or tapas bar-hopping. What I love most about the idea, though, is the spontaneity of it all — something that’s certainly very adaptable to home entertaining, and a whole lot of fun to boot!
