Favorite Things: Angled Measuring Cups

By Maureen Abood On February 5, 2014 · 6 Comments · In Favorite Things
Measuring is serious business, especially when you’re baking. Most of us don’t use our Salter scales every time we add an ingredient to the mix, so the right measuring cups are important. My mom was the one who first started using the angled measure, and once I got a hold of them, well, she had [...]

How to peel a pomegranate (kindly, gently)

By Maureen Abood On January 29, 2014 · 12 Comments · In Techniques
  The pomegranate memory is this: the kitchen counter, Wagon Wheel Lane, where I am seated snugly next to the sink. Uncle Joe is visiting from California, Joe Abood, my Jiddo’s brother. We loved Uncle Joe and though I could not have been more than 6 years old, I remember the lines of his face, [...]

  Hi everyone. Are you still with me? I’m still with you, as much or more than ever, because you are who I think of as I’m working away at Rose Water & Orange Blossoms, the cookbook. Which recipes to include, which innovations to explore, what stories to tell…even though it’s a certain solitary path, [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day

In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you. ~Buddha (Valentine’s Day, we love your hearts and candy and roses, but most of all your message. It is akin to the message of Buddha and of ice-glazed [...]

Date Nut Bread Recipe, and learning to fly solo

By Maureen Abood On January 15, 2014 · 32 Comments · In Breads, Pastry and Sweets, Stories and Recipes, Vegetarian
  When I went to culinary school a few years ago, I wanted to make a change as much as I wanted to cook great food. I left the job I’d been working in Chicago for years, left the neighborhood where I’d been living all those years too, and headed west to San Francisco. Growing [...]

Lebanese Soup & Bread Recipes for cold and blustery days

By Maureen Abood On January 7, 2014 · 8 Comments · In Menus, Stories and Recipes
No matter how you define cold where you live (no judgments here…), there’s no debate about keeping the home fires burning when the chill arrives, or at least the stove, with something warming.

A (simple) New Year’s Menu, and a resolution

By Maureen Abood On December 30, 2013 · 7 Comments · In Menus, Stories and Recipes
Is it just me, or is anyone else kind of worn out right about now? No really good reason for my frayed edges, since the power outage here in Michigan that has kept a lot of families in the cold didn’t, gratefully, hit home. All is well, everyone is well (when they’re not always, you [...]
