About Me
- A place to share ethnic recipes and stories.
- West Chester, Ohio, United States
- Michael was fortunate to have been born in a diverse family. His family consisted of many different cultures. Most members learned the family recipes at a young age. After spending three years in Europe his knowledge of cooking grew. Cooking became a passion and he wanted to perfect recipes learned in Europe. His passion inspired him to read and study the culinary techniques from the countries visited. Many recipes he learned came from the kitchens of friends he met in Europe. He was obsessed with learning more about their food and culture. He collected books, attended cooking classes and tried and tested many recipes. He studied cooking styles in the US, and found that our country is very diverse. A simple thing like chili is different on the West Coast, East Coast and Mid-West. Wherever he visits it seems people love to celebrate life through eating and sharing with family and friends. Even though there are cultural, political and religious differences, when we sit down at the table to eat most differences seem to be trivial. I hope this web site opens doors for our visitors and inspires them to explore the foods and cultures of the different countries we plan to host each month.

Great Bean Recipe
* 1/4 lb dried black beans (2/3 cup), picked over and rinsed
* 1 small onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
* 2 fresh cilantro sprigs
* 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
* 6 cups cold water
* 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Bring beans, onion, cilantro sprigs, oil, and water to a boil in a 2-quart heavy pot. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until beans are just tender, about 1 1/4 hours. Add salt and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is evaporated to just below level of beans. Season with salt and discard cilantro sprigs.
Cooks' notes: • If you don't have time to cook dried beans, rinse and drain a 19-ounce can of cooked black beans. Cook onion in oil in a small heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, then stir in beans, cilantro, salt, and 1/4 cup water and simmer, stirring, until beans are heated through. • Beans can be cooked 1 day ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Reheat before serving.
