KKF Fast Food: Salmon Patties with Lemon-Thyme Cream

I recently got in on a bulk wild salmon purchase from Lummi Island which included some ground salmon. (You even got a free hat with purchase. Gotta love the freebies.) On nights that I have classes at the gym I need something quick AND I’m a sucker for anything fried in butter, so tonight I tried my handContinue reading “KKF Fast Food: Salmon Patties with Lemon-Thyme Cream”

KKF Gets Schooled: Thai

My latest Viking cooking class covered some classic Thai cuisine. I have a favorite Thai place by my house and I have to say…the stuff we made was BETTER. Here’s the menu: Thai Spring Rolls with Sweet n’ Sour Dipping Sauce Chicken Satay with Peanut Dipping Sauce Banana Leaf Wrapped Snapper (with Red Curry Sauce)Continue reading “KKF Gets Schooled: Thai”

Baba Ghanouj – Wahoo!

You know it’s a busy semester when I don’t even have time to post blogs I’ve had written for a few months….whew! But it will be over soon. In the meantime, enjoy some eggplant…. About a week after I made the Mahkloubeh lamb I had more eggplant to use and decided to give in andContinue reading “Baba Ghanouj – Wahoo!”

How I learned to stop worrying and love the fish

My Korean tutor took me to the asian market one day to go shopping. While shopping we picked up a package of croaker – three whole, salted fish. They are smaller fish, but we noted that they were a lot bigger than the tiny little fishies we got in Korean restaurant. Hmmph. Anyway, I was toldContinue reading “How I learned to stop worrying and love the fish”

Red Snapper, Kung Faux Pas and Summer Salads

A few weeks ago a friend of ours went deep sea fishing. It sounds interesting, but not sure if I could do it (physically or mentally). However, when he offered us some of his haul, I was more than happy to take it off his hands. We scored some red snapper, amberjack and mackerel. A fewContinue reading “Red Snapper, Kung Faux Pas and Summer Salads”

St.Patty’s Salmon Patty

When it comes to canned fish, I’m picky. There’s only one brand of canned tuna that I like (Bumble Bee). I recently ate a higher-quality sardine and it was acceptable. Recently I discovered this canned salmon at Costco that is actually quite good. I was really suprised at how good it is and therefore wantedContinue reading “St.Patty’s Salmon Patty”

How to Not Cook Fish

So a while back I bought a sushi making kit. For several weeks it has stared at me, waiting. Biding its time, knowing that eventually I would give in and try to unravel its secrets. Tonight, I opened Pandora’s sushi box. My first stop was to Fresh Market for the software, and boy did IContinue reading “How to Not Cook Fish”

Labor Day Fish Fry & Kung Faux Pas

For labor day, I decided to…uh…labor…over an old-fashioned fish fry. On the menu: fried catfish, tater tots and coleslaw. And beer. I didn’t make the beer. Or the tots. Sue me. First, the slaw. I used to hate cole slaw, but I recently decided I’d give it another shot and have come to appreciate itsContinue reading “Labor Day Fish Fry & Kung Faux Pas”
