Shrimp Scampi
A true classic. Every so often, I sauté some shallots and serve this scampi on top of linguini. But this dish is pretty fantastic on it’s own. Perhaps with some garlic bread.

On our recent trip everyone fell in love with Panera’s Mac and Cheese! Unfortunately, we don’t have Panera in our city! Yet fortunately, that created a recipe development opportunity.

Lemon Greek Potatoes in Zesty Tomato Sauce
My family looooves my Lemon Greek Potatoes. Today I decided to switch it up and make them in zesty tomato sauce. And turns out, they love these potatoes better than the original version!! So easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser!
Perfectly Grilled Filet Mignon Every Time!
My technique for an unforgettable filet: Filet Mignon is a lean steak that is a very tender cut and therefore highly sought-after. Unfortunately, the filet comes from the tenderloin of the cow, which is up way high in the stomach, and not a muscle that’s used heavily like in other […]
Strawberry Margarita
Just delicious. I typically make mine a mocktail.

The Best Chocolate Cake recipe - The Original Iconic 1886 Chocolate Buttermilk Cake, a recipe that’s stood the test of time and influenced countless modern creations.
While many recipes tweak proportions or add elements like espresso powder, they all share the same core formula of this Legendary 1886 Creation; which uses ingredients like buttermilk, cocoa powder, and hot coffee. This recipe was developed over a century ago and has evolved into various forms, becoming the foundation for many modern recipes. Let's take a moment to celebrate this legendary cake! The recipe with my own tweaks and tips can be found on my blog food400.com
Secrets to the Perfect Chocolate Cake 🍫✨
Measure Correctly: Spoon flour and cocoa into measuring cups and level off—never scoop! This prevents a dense cake.
Bloom Cocoa Powder: Hot coffee or water mixed with cocoa in the batter unlocks cocoa's full flavor and richness.
Room Temp Ingredients: Make sure eggs, buttermilk, and butter are at room temperature for a smooth batter and even rise.
Don’t Overmix: Combine wet and dry ingredients gently to keep the cake light and airy.
Use Soaking Syrup: Brush layers with simple syrup for extra moisture and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
The Right Leavening: Use the exact amounts of baking soda and baking powder. Too much can cause the cake to rise quickly and then collapse; too little, and it’ll be dense.
It’s fascinating how a single recipe has stood the test of time and evolved, but it’s important to acknowledge its origin and history.
