Lo Mein with Mushrooms and Snow Peas from Food & Wine Magazine, February 2013

Braised Cucumbers with Dill from Food & Wine Magazine, August 2011

Cocotte is actually a French word and this dish is made by Piero Incisa della Roccetta, a winemaker in Tuscany. Two countries I love. Cocotte has two meanings, the first being a promiscuous woman, something about which this post is … Continue reading
