Ceviche with Kiwi

Submitted by recipebob on October 28, 2009 - 7:43am

Ceviche (Seviche) is a wonderful preparation of fresh fish marinated in citrus juices, made popular in South America and the Caribbean. The citrus fruit acidity in the marinade actually has the effect of cooking the fish.

Suitable fish to use in a Ceviche include many deep-sea saltwater fish such as Cod, Flounder, Halibut, John Dory, Perch, Tilapia, Tilefish, Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Orange Roughy and Sea Bass. The most important aspect is to make sure the fish is absolutely fresh.

Family Cookbook - So Many Family Stories

Submitted by recipebob on October 25, 2009 - 8:10am

When you set out to create your family cookbook, don't just focus on the family recipes. It's also about capturing the family stories and preserving the family memories. There are so many ways to weave stories about our family members into the family cookbook content.

Here are a few of the more obvious opportunities to capture and tell the family stories

  • Biographies of family members
  • If your family immigrated to America, how did they get here?
  • Every family event offers a story (weddings, holidays, graduation, births, family reunions, family vacations, etc.)
  • A family member's special skills and talents (sports, charity and philanthropy, dancing, photography, hobbies, careers, inventor, gardening, storytelling, etc.)

Family stories spring forth from some of these less obvious places

  • Sentimental objects that remind you of a family member
  • Letters from a family member can reveal a whole chapter of memories (romatic letters when Grandad was courting Grandmother)
  • A family disagreement and the lessons learned (hopefully you can find some wisdom even in the family conflicts)
  • A family member's military service and the pride and gratitude we hold for all that make this courageous contribution
  • Life's embarassing moments (hopefully everyone is a good sport)
