In Sweden, this soup is traditionally eaten on Thursdays for dinner. Whole yellow peas give this soup added visual appeal. Lovely and tasty, this soup will be welcome any day of the week. I’ve altered the standard recipe slightly. Pancetta subs for the ham and ham bone. And, a garnish […]
I’m not Irish. So, I didn’t feel one ounce of guilt about turning this into a sweet bread. I am, however, Italian. So, ok maybe… just maybe. There was one little itty bitty baby ounce of guilt. It’s not at all traditional. But, this sweetened soda bread was a big […]
Christmas morning wouldn’t be complete without this gorgeous bread as a dining room table centerpiece. But, this lovely sweet bread is too good to make just once a year. Panettone 1/2 cup marsala or moscato 1 cup raisins 1/2 cup dried fruit (citron, apricots and/or candied […]
Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler! Sazerac makes 2 4 ounces Rye 1/2 ounce Absinthe (or Herbsaint) 2-3 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters 2 teaspoons simple syrup 2 lemon rind curl Place two old fashioned glasses and your bottle of rye in the freezer for an hour […]
Two medium-sized hands of ginger make well over 2 cups of candied ginger. Next time, I’ll cut the ginger into smaller, more user-friendly pieces. These large pieces were pretty. But, the uneven sizes made for tricky packaging. Candied (or Crystallized) Ginger 2 hands of fresh ginger […]
Frittata di Ricotta 1 red pepper, diced 1 green pepper, diced 1 onion, finely diced 4 cloves garlic, finely diced olive oil, as needed 1 lb spicy Italian sausage, sliced 24 oz whole milk ricotta 6-8 large eggs 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated 1 sprig basil, julienned […] Pistachio Crumbles up front… Snickerdoodles in the back The Snickerdoodle is a lovely all-purpose cookie. It’s a mildly sweet sugar cookie type base rolled in cinnamon sugar. Even though Christmas is a time for flashier (fancy & time-consuming to make) cookies, somehow a batch of these always find their way […]
Happy New Year! What’s a great way to doctor up out of season berries? Whip them into a salad. Sweet or savory, marinate firm, tart berries in a citrusy spirit, with a squeeze of lemon or just a sprinkle of sugar to bring out their flavor. It’s shockingly […]
These light, buttery and crumbly cookies are loaded with pistachio flavor. I’m a little surprised that the green color is so faint given the vividly bright green pistachios that I used. But, I still prefer this natural color to that of food coloring. Pistachio Crumble Cookies makes 3 […]
I love these cookies. All of that great pumpkin & spice flavor is dished up in bite-sized packages. If you have a powerful food processor, you can incorporate the entire pumpkin (flesh & skin) into this recipe. Simply puree the roasted pumpkin until very smooth. Pumpkin […] |
