  1. A really good rice recipe. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and loved the crunchiness the almonds gave it.
     
  2. Yum. This was really simple and and so good. I thought the raisins were a fun touch that added a nice texture. Thanks for sharing, Sheila.
     
  3. This was so delicious and super simple! Worth making over and over again.
     
  4. Simple, yet very delicious. I had some mushrooms in my fridge that I needed to get rid of so I chopped them up and added them to this dish. It was so good. It didn't need the mushrooms, but they gave the dish some meaty texture.
     
  5. So fast and simple. I was using this as a side dish rather that something to top with a curry, so I used about 1/2 cup of onions, 1 tsp of curry power and salt.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
