Time of Promise

Earth renews itself in spring. We also have a chance of renewal leading to truly creative cooking and healthy eating. There is much happening at Food Naturally. The selection of recipes keeps on growing, though slowly, as do the features about food and entertaining and the range of articles about world food and wine.

We continue with fusion cooking; attempting at safe, basic mix and match foods, like the vegetable casseroles proposed, before embarking on more adventurous creations.

World Food and Wine

Vegetable Casseroles

Menestras, a vegetable casserole popular in Spain, are excellent spring food with good reason. They use Spring vegetables and are light.

New Gift-Giving Trend: The Wine Experience

A nice bottle of wine - it's long been the gift of choice for nearly any occasion, from your first visit to a friend's home to the grown-up gift you give Mom on her special day. But wine as a gift is evolving, thanks to America's continued interest in all things "viticultural." Wine classes, wine clubs and accessories are all part of the growing trend to give a "wine experience" as a gift.

Healthy Eating

But, how to impress without the stress can be an ongoing challenge for many home cooks, especially when friends and family drop by for an impromptu gathering. There's no need to sacrifice taste or your nerves when short on time.
