As arts editor of the Daily News for many years, my favorite time of the year was covering the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival at the University of Idaho. Through the years I got to know Lionel quite well and had the privilege of hosting him at my home for numerous dinners. At his request, [...]

I had an interesting email this morning from Ashley Wallace of 5W Public Relations in New York City. In it, she wrote that one of the prefect ways to quickly whip up a delectable, inexpensive meal is to combine classic favorites into “one tantalizing dish.” For many, she continues, soup is often viewed as a [...]

Wednesday if received the lasagna recipe from Hunter’s Daniel Mazier and thought it sounded good and doable. This one can be made in the slow cooker at [...]

In my current Cooking Club magazine, there is a section for “weeknight cooks.” I thought I would stray from my meatless recipes of late and offer a recipe for pork tenderloin with a bit of an Indian-scented flavor. It is easy to assembles and hopefully if you try it, you’ll be pleased with the end [...]
