Chickpea Battered Cod with Crispy Potatoes & Carrot Chutney
There are three recipes here- Pan Fried Chickpea Battered Fish with Indian Spices, Crispy Baked Potato Wedges and a Sweet and Hot Carrot Chutney. They are each excellent and worth making on their own if you don’t want to put it all together the same way I did.
The Best Cranberry Chutney
May I humbly suggest that cranberry sauce should be replaced with cranberry chutney at your next holiday meal? You don’t even need to wait for a special occasion meal! I am devoted to having sweet condiments with my savory food, so I make and eat a lot of fruit chutney. In my freezer, right now,…

Cauliflower Roasted with Curry and Cashew Butter
I recently wrote about the foods that I miss from my childhood home, Maui. I decided not to mention an entire genre of delicious hippy cuisine, served up at potlucks, vegetarian and/ or vegan restaurants and health food store lunch counters.
