Baking is science and I don't like formulas, but cooking is art and anything goes...and the simpler the better. It's all about less time at the stove and more time at the table. With a forty year passion for food I'm excited to share what I do in the kitchen nearly every day.

Mexican Corn Salad

Using the same ingredients as the corn sold on the streets in Mexico, this salad will work with whatever your planning for Cinco de Mayo…even if it’s just margaritas.

Defrost a box of frozen corn and toss with a little bit of vegetable oil, a tablespoon of chili powder, and some salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan and pop it in a 400-degree oven until it starts to brown around the edges, about 30 to 40 minutes.

While that’s cooling, mix together a few tablespoons of mayonnaise, the juice from half a lime, a half cup of crumbled Cotija or feta cheese, some chopped cilantro, and salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Stir together with the corn and serve.
