I’ve been writing Food Glorious Food for eleven years and have enjoyed working on every issue. My passion for food inspired each column. Driven to experiment with flavors and techniques, I shared my excitement with you, my readers. Sadly, this is my last recipe for Bali Advertiser. I want to thank all of you who […]

I love BLAT sandwiches and was gifted with some home-grown tomatoes bursting with flavor. I also had some fresh mozzarella on hand. It was too much to put between two slices of bread and so the BLAT Bowl was born. If you don’t eat bacon, substitute with smoked fish for protein or tempeh chips for […]

I needed a new granola taste for my morning fruit bowl with yogurt. Earl Gray tea was waving at me from the counter. “Hmmmm. Why not?’ I thought. This delicious crunchy granola smells divine while it’s baking, and is even better when you pop a few clusters in your mouth. It has that oh-so-satisfying crunch […]

Inspired by an old family recipe, these walnut bars have been updated to include herbs de Provence and lemon zest. I recently took them to an event where they were gobbled up quickly. Everyone wanted to know the secret ingredient. So, while it may seem strange to add a savory herb mixture to a dessert, […]

I wanted a snack that was high in protein and low in calories and fat. But it also had to taste good. Perhaps these taste too good because I can’t eat just one or two. I see the jar and my hand goes right to it. Bad hand! You can vary the spices in each […]

Working on my computer in Amed, I looked up to see Mt. Agung shoot out a white plume of steam. Mesmerized, I watched the volcano for the rest of the day. When I needed a break, I went to the kitchen to cook, inspired by the mountain’s energy. I came up with a salad dressing, […]

Carrots, not my first choice in vegetables, rise to a new level in this recipe. You can buy the balsamic glaze at Dijon, or simply boil 1 cup of balsamic vinegar with a quarter cup of palm sugar and reduce it by half. If pine nuts are difficult to come by, substitute roasted cashews. And […]

We had a block of Dijon’s marzipan in the freezer for what seemed an eternity. I thought I‘d use it for a strawberry tart. Then I came across the recipe that inspired this one. These brownies are a delicious departure from traditional ones. The next time we baked them, we made our own marzipan. It’s […]

Desak asked me what I wanted for lunch. Out of a jet-lagged fog the words ‘Salad Nicoise’ jumped from my lips. We were, however, out of several ingredients. “Can I substitute zucchini for the green beans?” she asked. “And we don’t have any tuna.” After a thorough search of the pantry I found a can […]

I’ve been bored with my breakfasts. This definitely spices up my mornings! And it could easily be served for lunch as well. Toast or corn tortillas are a must to soak up the juices. Or if you really feel adventurous serve it over soft polenta. Serves 2-3 Ingredients:   – 6 shallots, thinly sliced – […]
