Salmon Presto Pesto

This is Mama Miche, and today, in my magic kitchen: Presto Pesto!

Pesto is easy. Like so easy. Anyone can do it! Like Chef Gusteau says in Ratatouille, "Anyone can cook!" That's not to say anyone can be a great gourmet chef. Not everyone has the magic touch of even the best home chefs. TLC is an ingredient. Period. Full stop if you don't get it, you don't get it, and your meals will always lack something. In cooking, you do need more than love, but it is what takes it over the top. Some skills are involved, but they develop over time with practice.

Poulet à l'oignon (French Onion Chicken)

This is Mama Miche and today in my magic kitchen: Poulet à l'oignon

In honor of one of the greatest love stories on television, Abe and Rose Weissman from the Marvelous Ms. Maisel series, I made this French Onion Chicken dish. I imagine it would be something Rose would ask Zelda to make Abe if he ever got out of line again. Instead of going back to France, this would remind him that she did leave him once and would again, while also bringing back the memories of them falling in love again in Paris.

Valentine ‘Chokes

This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Valentine'choke

No, I didn't just reveal my kinky side… or did I?

When it comes to food, there are a few that are considered aphrodisiacs. Oysters, strawberries, honey, and avocados are among them. One of my favorites, though, is the artichoke—and not just the heart. I'll eat the whole damn thing, steamed, dipped in melted butter with Twice Stolen Spice™.

They take a long time to cook unless you use one of the greatest kitchen inventions ever: the Instant Pot. It takes hours off cooking times for some foods. A small artichoke steams in 5 minutes. A large one stuffed with this incredibly decadent seafood stuffing takes 15 minutes! This brings me more joy than it should.
