Welcome to my recipe collection.

These recipes offer a delicious mix of new and old world flavors. From the kitchens of my mother and grandmother in Transylvania to the new fusion mixes from my home kitchen in Canada. I have been inspired by the fickle tastes of my children ( vegetarian, pescatarian or whichever way the wind may blow) and my desire to become healthier without compromising taste. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Leave me comments and your favorite recipes!

KALE CHIPS

This is very, very good. My children made it for us one Christmas, and we loved it. Good for a party, good for a winter evening curled up in front of the TV. 

To make:
  1. Wash the kale well and dry (a salad spinner will do this in a flash).
  2. Cut off the stems and remove any thick ribs and reserve for another use.
  3. Place the leaves in large bowl and sprinkle with a little extra virgin olive (about one tablespoon for about four cups of leaves) and salt and freshly ground pepper.
  4. Place in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake in a preheated 300°F/150°C for about 25 to 30 minutes or until kale is crisp.
  5. Remove from the oven and cool them on a rack - unless they get snatched away and eaten first.
