Fish with Garlic Caper Sauce

April 17, 2019 by Finite Foodie Leave a Comment

We love the salty, tangy taste of capers with mild-flavored fish, which is why we keep a jar in our pantry or refrigerator. These tiny green flower buds from the caper bush (Capparis spinosa) are pickled in vinegar/brine, or salted and packaged dry. Although they’re fairly expensive, a little goes a long way so don’t…

St. Nicholas Cake

These easy fish tacos made with salmon and a colorful cumin-spiced slaw have become our favorite Monday night meal. You’ll have leftover slaw to add to your lunch the next day, or you can double the salmon tacos for a larger crowd (or seconds).

HOW TO SET UP YOUR FIRST KITCHEN (Click on photo to read more.)

KITCHEN ESSENTIALS

Our concept for the Finite Foodie® has these simple goals in mind —

1. To provide simple, clear steps for setting up your first, probably small kitchen with a minimal amount of equipment and investment.

2. To teach you cooking basics,  terminology and terms, and common conversions and equivalents.

3. To inspire you with healthful, easy recipes.
