I used a Sacher torte as a basis for a chocolate pistachio cake: the filling is pistachio and tahini, a little crumbled phyllo on top. The result was delicious. I am grateful.

Hatch chile sauce on the omelet, Japanese curry sauce on the pork sausage. What a great combination of robust flavors. I am grateful.

I made this eggplant without breading but with mozzarella and tomato sauce. I first pan-fried the eggplant, then baked it, then added the mozzarella and tomato sauce for a final bake. The result was satisfying and tasty. I am grateful for the chance to make and eat this nutritious food.
