Adventures in Travel … and Blogging

Changes are fun and they are afoot in our world.  As you’ll see, we’ve shifted Artichokes and Asparagus, my food blog.  The new name is now At Home & At Sea.  Sound familiar?  Yup, it’s the name of my cookbook and WAS the domain name for the cookbook website.

Chicken Paprika

This recipe was shared on Plating Up yesterday. If you own At Home, At Sea you may recognize it. If you plan to freeze or refrigerate this dish to serve later, leave out the sour cream.  When you reheat it, add the sour cream just before serving. It won’t curdle if you freeze it and [...]

Shrimp with Prosciutto and Green Olives on Fettuccini

This recipe from At Home, At Sea,  came from three years of working with Hans Bucher, my mentor.  He served it with pasta or risotto; it  was one of his wife’s favorite combinations.  Sometimes we would wrap the shrimp in Prosciutto and grill it while making the sauce with the olives. Recently,  Plating Up shared this [...]
