Pork tenderloin is notoriously difficult to really cook properly, but it's so affordable that you can take the risk to practice (that's what I did before I tried my hand at a much more expensive beef tenderloin).

That meant grilling up some eggplant. Personally, I'm not a big fan of eggplant anymore (unless it's in some baba ghanoush!). I got... Continue Reading →
Kofta, Kafta, or Kafka is often characterized as the Middle Eastern version of a hamburger. Yes, it's made with ground beef, ground lamb, or both, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends.
