Rose Benner was in charge of creating, testing and demonstrating recipes for all H-E-B’s. In a pinch late last night as I was searching for a recipe for Black-Eyed Pea Tamales, I texted Rosie to see if she had a recipe. This amazing woman sent me this recipe this morning…

Here’s a totally authentic French dish. Created by a French chef, developed in a French kitchen and now prepared…by you! Taste of France is such an elegant line and is found exclusively at H-E-B and Central Market retailers.
This is so easy to make! What a dish from Chef Byron Bergeron of the Fig Tree. The best part is that you can buy a pre-made Crème Brulee from H-E-B or Central Market, and then dress it up with these caramelized bananas.
Sure red wines work well with red meats and white wines with fish and poultry but ever wonder how to pair wine with cheese? Just because the cheese is white doesn’t mean white wine is the best choice.
Learning about olive oils is a bit like learning about wine. There are so many brands, they all have different unique taste profiles, and terroir also plays a big role in their flavor as it does with wine.
I love this time of year. There’s nothing like the holidays to put you in a festive mood. And, no better way to celebrate than with good friends and good wine. I’ve got some great wine suggestions for all kinds of holiday dishes, plus some ‘bubblies’ that are just plain fun! Traditionally, we’ve always been […]
Hatch green chilies are here, and they’re fabulous. I just made the rounds at Central Market tasting, testing and LOVING every minute of it. Since they roast them right there at the store, that intoxicating aroma is everywhere. And, it’s great fun to go from station to station trying the different products.
Dark chocolate and red wine…find yourself floating up to heaven just thinking about the combination?! Keep flying and I’ll fill you in on the results of a wine and chocolate pairing I recently did at my house. There were 11 of us – 2 sommeliers, 8 admitted chocoholics and one who ‘just isn’t into desserts’. […]
The 100 degrees temperatures are getting old aren’t they? I’ m working on reorganizing my recipe section on the website (it grew so fast it’s out of control – a good problem to have). As I scrolled through the recipes I started looking for something that would be good in these Amazon-like conditions. I found […]
What’s your favorite wine? It’s a question I’m often asked, and the answer is ’what’s your budget?’ There is a correlation between price and quality, BUT there are also some VERY good wines that don’t cost a lot of money…especially wines that work well with our summer heat
I love making my own pasta, but often don’t take the time. I found a fabulous pasta at Central Market called ‘Rustichella d’Abruzzo’. Italian, of course! My son loves the spaghetti, and I’m hooked on the gnocchetti sardi. The texture, shape and taste are fabulous. I use these in place of spaghetti in ‘My Favorite […]
