Have a question about one of my recipes? The best place to get answers is the Overtime Cook Recipes Facebook Group! Let's talk about comfort food. Defined as food that provides consolation or a feeling of well-being. Everyone thinks of something different when they think of comfort food. For some, comfort food might be a freshly baked cookie, or a cinnamon bun dripping with lots of cream cheese frosting. For me, and I'm sure lots of others, comfort food is homey, warm, and cozy. I'm talking about … [Read more...]

Roasted Vegetable Potato Salad
Roasted Vegetable Potato Salad is a totally different take on Potato Salad that's perfect as a Passover Recipe or for all year round! It's that time of year again, huh? I keep trying not to think about Passover's imminent arrival, about all the work that has to be done before it comes, but the world just won't let me forget it! All of my local groceries are busy hiding the bread, crackers, and other such chometz (non-kosher-for-Passover) foods down the hall, behind the partition, down a steep flight of stairs, and through a radioactive screen. Ok, I am exaggerating slightly, but I kinda resent having to go searching for some bread if I want to make a sandwich. You can probably guess … [Read more...]

Roasted Carrot and Ginger Soup
If you're going to learn one thing about cooking from me, let it be this. Roasting vegetables brings out the best of their flavors. It intensifies their best notes, makes the vegetables sweeter and more flavorful. Take this soup for example. Carrot ginger soup is delicious. I've made it and enjoyed it many times in the past. But the other day, in the grocery store, I suddenly thought of roasting the combination. I knew I would make a soup ten times better than the unroasted kind. And I was totally right. This soup has the most amazing, rich and delicious flavor of carrot and ginger. It's fall and comfort in a bowl! Roasted Carrot Ginger Soup: By Miriam Pascal, … [Read more...]
