“The delicate flavors of the fish are richly enhanced by the sweet tang of the wood planks. The mango salsa gives it a spicy flare. Just about any fish will work, I have used tilapia and it turns out well. This is great served with rice pilaf.”
“I like my senses to be stimulated,” says Lizzie in a recent Apartment Therapy House Tour. When she moved into her (now) husband’s Glasgow flat three years ago, she couldn’t stand all the beige, so she made some bold color choices that infused the space — particularly the kitchen! — with personality.

Q: My husband and I would like to thank our neighbours for watering our plants while we were on vacation in Italy by cooking an Italian meal. Our guests will be a mom and dad, one 5-year old, one 2-year old and a baby, and the meal must be halal. Any recipe ideas for a family-friendly, pork-free, loosely Italian meal?

Last Friday, we had 17 people over for dinner. No, we haven’t moved to a larger apartment. No, my kitchen hasn’t grown to the size of a normal one (though some mornings I tiptoe in, hoping it will surprise me). No, I hadn’t really expected almost all of my friends to be able to make it when I invited them, but I wasn’t the least bit sad when I found out they’d all come, mostly because my vision of the ideal apartment gathering resembles the party scene from Breakfast At Tiffany’s. And boy, we get closer every time.
The precursor to this was when, about a month ago, I moped, as I often do, to my husband that we never entertain anymore and that we should just do it, just throw a party and have enough aperatifs around that pesky details such as cranky child up past their bedtime and who needs chairs? pull up a corner of carpet to sit on! and oops, did we invite more people than we have forks for again? would cease to matter. Wine solves everything, doesn’t it?

“It’s a tradition to eat black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day for good luck. This version is vegetarian and gets its smoky spiciness from chipotle peppers.”

Wine of the Week: 2010 Tibouren Clos Cibonne “Cuvée des Vignettes” Cru Classé
Region: Côtes de Provence, France
Price: $30
I just love rosé wine. Can’t get enough really and am always on the look out for the tasty everyday rosé as well the one for special occasions. This 2010 Clos Cibonne Tibouren “Cuvée des Vignettes” from Provence at $30 is pricey but definitely worth the splurge for a special dinner or treat. This is a wonderfully serious rosé — complex, beautifully structured, contemplative and elegant — worthy of its price tag.

Q: I just bought a large container of sumac because I wanted to make fattoush salad and it was the only size I could get my hands on at the time. It was delicious, but now I have a lot of leftover sumac. Any suggestions on what to use some of it for?
