Web Chef Review: Napa Valley Vinegar Co. Champagne Pear Vinegar
Napa Valley Vinegar Co. Champagne Pear Vinegar is as delicious as it sounds, and just as versatile. This beautiful, yellow-colored vinegar is made with white wine vinegar and true pear purée so the flavor is full of the essence and bits of pears. When you open the bottle the smell of pears is the first thing you notice and this lovely vinegar goes so well on a salad, as a marinade, on chicken, veal, beef or fish. I used it on a...
Beyoncé’s Celebrity Maple Syrup Diet?: Culinary Questions with Kimberly
On Culinary Questions with Kimberly, we’re discussing Beyoncé’s Celebrity Maple Syrup Diet. I don’t know if I would actually say that this is a real diet, but rather a cleanse, because it’s a short term thing and she’s not on it all the time. So, I think we should talk about it. Personally speaking, I think people should be cleansing a heck of a lot more often than they do. Much more often! When Spring...

How to Roast Figs with Ricotta: National Fig Week
The 1st week of November is National Fig Week, and I’m sharing with you a recipe for Roasted Figs with Ricotta. There are hundreds of varieties of figs, and they come in many shapes, sizes & colors. In the USA, figs are grown mostly in California. Most figs are dried when purchased, but each year, we find more & more fresh figs at our local supermarkets. The two most familiar names of figs are Calimyrnas, and the...
Web Chef Review: Vilux White Balsamic Vinegar
What’s Delicious today @ Cooking with Kimberly? Vilux White Balsamic Vinegar – You’ll love this stuff! It’s made from grape must from the sweet Terbbiano varietal, and lacks the traditional dark, rich color of typical balsamic vinegars. However, it has it’s own clear, beauty with more mild flavor than its darker counterpart. It’s sweet, grapey, tangy, crisp & bright. Instead of aging this vinegar in...
Web Chef Review: PX Vinegar
I am really excited to share this food product with you today, called PX Vinegar, which stands for Pedro Ximenez Vinegar. Pedro Ximenez is a variety of grape, and comes from Spain. This vinegar is reminiscent of a balsamic vinegar in many ways, as it is dark in color. It is bitter, sour and sweet with finishing hints of fig, to my palate. This particular vinegar is made in the Solara method, which is a complicated way of fermenting in...

We love football and we especially love the tailgating food we get to create and eat for this special game. We are still doing well and eating deliciously on day 8 of our grocery shopping strike. We are doing “upscale” SuperBowl treats. For brunch we had creamed scrambled eggs on top of toasted Italian flax seed bread...
How to Cook Lobster & Apple Stuffed Manicotti
Here is a video I did a while ago, but it is still probably my favorite recipe: Lobster & Apple Stuffed Manicotti with a White Wine Reduction (and Baby Spinach Salad with a Beautiful and Ever-Easy Vinaigrette). My husband, Kenney, created and made this recipe for me for one of my birthdays years ago. He didn’t write down the recipe, so over the years, we have attempted to recreate it. This is the closest we have come, and we...
