Being adventurous, and knowing how good zucchini bread tastes, I tried it and it quickly became my favorite—the standard against which all future chocolate cakes were measured. Over the years, I’ve modified this cake recipe slightly from the original. I use more zucchini, and a mix of white and brown sugars. The main distinction of chocolate zucchini cake is its moistness. The zucchini absorbs the cocoa while delivering the full flavor of chocolate, but without the heaviness of some other chocolate cakes....

Years ago I was asked to write about what I’ve learned from my mother about cooking. Since at the time I was living with my parents and cooking with my mom almost every day, this wasn’t a difficult exercise. I’m still learning from her, though now occasionally she learns something from me too. ;-) My mother is one of those intuitive cooks in the kitchen. Having raised six kids, she doesn’t follow recipes anymore....

Tzatziki Sauce Recipe This Easy Tzatziki Sauce recipe adds incredible flavor to grilled vegetables, pita chips, and of course with our amazing gyros, made in the crock pot! When I serve it with gyros I like to be able to crunch into the cucumbers so I leave them diced instead and just stir everything together instead of processing everything. If I am serving with grilled veggies, I will process all the ingredients so the sauce holds to the vegetables better....

Grilled onions only take a few minutes of preparation and are a delicious pairing for your patties. The grill turns these onions into the perfect match for a well-seasoned burger and fresh bun. Onion rings are incredibly easy to grill and are transformed from its usual astringent self to something sweet and smokey. The change is so profound, I have friends who will only eat grilled onions, greatly preferring them over their raw state....

A quick and easy marinade is just a bottle of your favorite Italian dressing. Or if you, like me, prefer to make your dressings and marinades from scratch, here’s a lovely Greek-inspired vinaigrette with which to marinate the swordfish. Swordfish is a sturdy fish. It holds up like steak when you cook it, and like beef, takes well to marinating. It’s made with fresh lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, and thyme....

Trim and clean the mushrooms, brown and soften them lightly in olive with a little garlic in a wide saucepan, then add vinegar and fresh herbs. That’s it! They’ll be the star on your next antipasto platter, but that’s not all they’re good for. Serve them warm over polenta, or throw them into salads for an earthy, vinegary punch. And don’t forget crostini, pizza toppings, grain bowls, or omelets....

It is amazingly good! Surprisingly good. Like you just want to keep eating it good. You need to use a firm globe eggplant, not a tender Japanese eggplant for a recipe like this....

Over the course of a week or two, the brine takes away the garlic’s raw, pungent bite and leaves behind sweet, tangy cloves that are as at home on a cheese plate as they are in sauces and salsas. Pickled garlic is a true quick pickle with no need for canning. In fact, we don’t recommend it, since home canning techniques don’t bring the temperature up high enough to eliminate the risk of botulism when stored at room temperature....
