Miranda Lambert Cookbook Novels & Stories

"This will keep you safe until tomorrow." Asha opened his father's recipe book, then read the recipe she chose for tomorrow's competition for the fifteenth time. According to the recipe, she needed a fish, turmeric, dried chili, fresh cilantro, coconut milk, ginger, garlic, onion, lemongrass, and the hard one to find, the clam. This was the same recipe that made her father win as the best chef in their village. Unfortunately, the same dish accused him of food poisoning the magistrate.

"Ah, there it is! Angry as shit! Aw, and here I thought maybe another emotion would make its way to the forefront for once. Well, don't be too pissed, my a's the cook for tonight! That means jerk chicken, maduros, and some rice and beans for supper. Maybe if you ask nicely, I can save you some rice pudding, but only if you ask!" "Did you say maduros?" Nicolette had hidden her stiletto back in the high bun her curls sat in. "I haven't had those since I was a girl!" "You're from way south, right?" Miranda handed her a plate off the tray; her white hair was braided back off her face, hair pulled tight to her scalp in neat rows that curved around her skull like waves. "You've got that accent pul

) She said and ended the call. Priscilla walked towards the fridge and opened it, her back facing Chiara. Chiara took out her knife and quietly snapped a picture of Priscilla with the knife at the back of her neck. She sent the picture with a note to Xavier. "Do you like Lamb?" "I don't know, I'm not sure if I have ever tasted it." "You are going to try it today. I'm making my famous stew with Lamb." She took out there packets of meat and closed the fridge.

A woman approached us, wearing a chef’s jacket, a light blue head scarf, and a chef’s hat on top. “Marhaban! My name is Fatima Ebrahimi, and I’ll be your chef for this evening. There are two specials to choose from. The first one is Lamb Kabob – includes sirloin, mint, yogurt marinade, and lentil raisin basmati rice. The other special is Chilean Sea Bass – includes saffron, onion, with dill and fava bean basmati rice. What would you like tonight?” Damn. Both of those sounded delicious. I was stuck between the two.

She might be busy somewhere else and I don’t want to disturb her. I took out an apron from one of the cupboards and I put it on. I wanted to make a special dinner for Primo. I wanted to try and make this marriage work. I certainly don’t want to be miserable my whole life. I was planning on making Vegetable Antipasti for the appetizer, Lamb Chops Potentina for the main course and Ricotta Sundae with Raspberries for dessert. I went to the pantry to gather the ingredients I needed. The pantry was fully stocked so I didn’t have any problem finding what I needed. I grabbed a knife from the holder but before I could slice the vegetables, Isla came in.

Miranda hadn’t appreciated just how busy this week was actually going to be. Along with work, she had to spend the whole of Monday evening preparing for Wednesday’s talk, thanks to her sister’s dinner invitation the following night. As soon as she got home, she cleared the dining table ready to lay out her work. Her stomach was already rumbling so she went into the kitchen to take out a microwave meal from the freezer. She made holes in the cellophane with a knife and stuck it on to do its thing.

"Sit tight. Just give me a minute. The lamb's head will be ready soon." I waited. Before long, the smell of roasting lamb drifted through the gaps in the walls. It was hot and fresh. A whole lamb's head, made just for me. My mouth watered. Like I was in a trance, I slid off my chair and headed toward the kitchen out back. My grandfather always said Daniel's family was poor. Now I could see it for myself. Even the kitchen door was broken, with a large section missing from the bottom corner. The room beyond was dimly lit.

She giggles, “ Aye, you do. I kept your dinner warm.” My girl, always taking care of me. It doesn’t matter that it is after eleven at night. She made sure I had something to eat. “ Honey, I could have just made a sandwich. You did have to do that.” I said. She kisses my neck lightly. “ I know. I wanted to. You have been working extra hard lately between the dispensary and rehearsals. I wanted to make sure you had a decent meal. I made twice baked potatoes, coleslaw and barbecue ribs.” Damn that sounds good. Did I tell you not only is my girl a bad ass but she is a damn good cook. She has been getting recipes from Merigold and the internet and trying them out on me. I’m happy to be her guinea
