French, Middle Eastern cafe coming to Dubuque

Yaman Salim believes you can learn a lot about a place by eating its food.

A recipe book can double as a sort of history text, she explained, with each sauce being its own story and each ingredient its own chapter. Dinner tables transform into communal spaces for further conversation.

“Eating food from a certain country or region, I feel it offers an education about that place’s history and its customs,” she said. “... When you want to learn, you have to go to the source. Food is one of those sources.”

Nearly 7,000 pounds of ground beef recalled due to E.coli concerns

A western Illinois meat processor is recalling nearly 7,000 pounds of raw ground beef sent to institutions and restaurants in Iowa and Illinois.

Valley Meats, of Coal Valley, Ill., is recalling approximately 6,768 pounds of the beef because of possible E. coli contamination, according to a press release issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.

The release states that the ground beef items were produced on Dec. 22, and bear the establishment number “EST. 5712” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The beef was shipped to distributor locations in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan for further distribution to restaurants and other institutional users.

One-pan lemony chicken traybake is the antidote to post-holiday craziness

With labor-intensive holiday meals out of the way, this week calls for ease — without sacrificing flavor. Which is why traybakes are the perfect antidote.

Only 15 minutes of active work and just one pan to clean are all you need to transform simple chicken and potatoes into a satisfying dinner — sauce and all.

In this recipe from our book “Cook What You Have,” which draws on pantry staples to assemble easy, delicious meals, we took a cue from chicken Vesuvio. This Italian-American classic combines the meat and spuds with lots of garlic, lemon and oregano. The dish typically is a saucy stovetop braise, but we’ve turned it into a traybake by roasting everything together in the oven.
