Bahamian Crayfish Curry

By
When Dylan and I started talking about what to make for our Bahamian dinner, he vetoed any and all conch recipes...not that we would be able to get our hands on conch anyway. He agreed to cook crayfish. To Bahamians, "crayfish" refers to Maine's tropical cousin, the rock lobster; we used langostino, a squat lobster. Close enough. So, the next question was: soup or curry. Dylan picked curry.

Interestingly enough, the Bahamian curry uses stock or boullion as its base. No coconut milk, no other spices. It seemed fairly plain. Dylan wanted to add in some vegetables. He added carrots and celery and I spiced it up and served it over Bahamian Cauliflower Custard.


minced garlic
minced ginger
sliced carrots
sliced celery
langostino tails
ground curry powder
ground cumin
chicken boullion
tomato wedges

Cook the garlic and ginger in a large flat-bottomed pan in a splash of olive oil till they are completely softened. Add in the carrots and celery and cook, again, till softened. Season with curry powder and cumin. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add in the langostino tails reduce to a simmer and cook till opaque. Add in tomato wedges and took for addtional few minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
