Salmon with Pomegranate Orange Salsa
In typical Jen/Natalya fashion, I was trying to search for recipes that could incorporate leftover ingredients from previous meals. This time the ingredient du jour was pomegranate. I had used it for the Turkish-Spiced Chicken Kebabs with Pomegranate Relish and had leftovers. So I searched the web and saw this South-American inspired recipe (courtesy of … Continue reading

Food Comas Turns 1!
May 13th marks a special day for us here… Food Comas turns 1 year old today! Exactly one year ago, I wrote my first ever blog post on Baby Lamb Chops with Cucumber-Mint Relish.

San Francisco-Style Cioppino
Don’t know what cioppino is? Neither did I, even though apparently this fish stew originated from where I grew up! But then again, whenever I dined out in San Francisco, my family only took me to Chinatown so I think I can be excused from this lack of knowledge… oh well now is the time … Continue reading
Baked Fish Tacos
After having a wonderful dinner at Barmarché, I could not stop craving their amazing Crispy Bass Taquitos in soft-shelled flour tortillas with guacamole, pico de gallo & apple cider slaw. I have made Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa before and figured… why not try fish? So when I was doing my regular grocery shopping, I … Continue reading
