Southern Peach Gelato
With juicy fresh peaches, cream and a hint of Maker's Mark this is a great summer treat.
A sage and honey walnut milkshake (with vegan option)
Looking for a new flavor this recipe puts an earthy, savory spin into a traditional buttermilk drink. For a vegan option you can sub almond milk with a splash of cider vinegar for the buttermilk, which will get some tanginess.
A winter lassi
Usually I use quite a bit of pineapple sage in a lassi during the summer. But this theme inspired me to try a new version with common sage and walnut. With pineapple sage I use between 1/8 and 1/4 cup, but like the subtle addition of about 1/2 tsp. of common sage to the walnuts.
Winter wine cordial
Experimenting with Mirto and red wine this is a suggestion for winter.
Modernist slaw
Streamlining a slaw recipe these are the essential ingredients.
Pickled hot, sweet chili peppers and onions
This recipe is consisted of a variety of hot & sweet chili peppers with Vidalia onion and Chile Threads, to make some pickled toppings perfect for the Banh mi.
A violet crush
In search for a truly beautiful, truly purple and yes, even poetic drink, this recipe evolved. I have made a switch from the blackberry over to Violet Liqueur.
Cherry, rhubarb and their hushed, pink peppered affair
Continuing in a flurry of sorted rhubarb liaisons, this recipe offers a compote with some secret stars. If you wanted to can this, you would need to increase the sugar or go for addition of pomona pectin. But a small batch should last a good while in the fridge in a sealed jar.
Licor de canela
In Portugal I had the most wonderful cinnamon liqueur imaginable. Since I have been back in the States I have not been able to find anything like it. So I decided to make some. With help from a friend we translated a basic recipe we found on the web; it called for brown sugar and an unspecified (but had to be very small) quantity of orange juice. I am adding my own additions of orange peel and ginger with light muscovado sugar instead. For this batch I used Asbach, but would probably select a lighter brandy next time.
Sauteed Fiddlehead Fern
The very first crop of fiddlehead fern can make you forget all about the long, hard winter you may have just had. Here is a simple recipe to enjoy them.
Maple horseradish marinade with an hors d'oeuvres suggestion
We use grade B maple syrup in almost all of our cooking, especially during sugar season. This is a really simple recipe with just 4 ingredients; we have made this for ages, but I am using fresh horseradish root for a change instead of prepared. This recipe works really well with scallops, or water chestnuts, wrapped in some incredible bacon.
Breakfast reform
Thanks to Jessica Tom I have just tried cooking teff to make her wonderful pudding recipe (really great, btw). At the market I had found both teff flour and teff grain. Going with teff grain (right choice), I was then struck by how really tiny these grains are. I was also a little suspicious that they would taste...well, you know, good for you, but really not that good. But, the flavor and texture both deliver....and I mean good for you and really good tasting! I think I have just made a new best friend!
Bloody ginger
The first drink that I made with my new bottle of Domaine de Canton was this; it was New Year's Day.
Rise and Shine Spiced Pink Grapefruit Brûlée
We spent many a holiday with the in-laws. After "us kids" started having children, my mother-in-law elected to go by "Nonnie." Before she became a grandmother, and after, she always served the most elegant holiday breakfasts to us all. But what stands out the most in my mind is how she would prepare a broiled grapefruit half for each person upon rising. We were all allowed to get up whenever we wanted on Christmas morning. As we wandered downstairs, our individual grapefruit would be waiting. She deftly cut the sections of the grapefruit perfectly with a grapefruit knife, drizzled maple syrup on top, sprinkled with cinnamon, and then browned them under the broiler. Of course she served these with her endless supply of grapefruit spoons to everyone who wanted one. The care that she took with each one always made us feel so special. And best of all, you got to talk with Nonnie, in the kitchen, usually just one on one, as you savored your warm grapefruit. She exuded a delightfully sunny kind of rise and shine outlook that was rather contagious. It was a wonderful way to start the morning. Once everyone was up, we then all sat around a huge table for a sumptuous feast; sometimes we were a table of 14, but it was talking with Nonnie over that perfect grapefruit half that I remember most fondly. I am adding my sumac to the recipe. I think Nonnie would have liked it this way, too. This recipe is dedicated to her.
Pack a peck of voilà, pickled peppers
Or at least start with a pint. In her recent canning class Savorykitchen showed Midge and me an easy Vietnamese pickled carrot and radish "instant pickle" recipe adapted from "The Joy of Pickling." I am adapting it further to work with vibrant colors and organic cane sugar, which I chose to heat with the vinegar. With regular sugar you can just dissolve without heating. Savorykitchen showed us her gorgeous Korean red pepper threads, which are illustrated in some of the photos, but not all. The threads are called "Shilgochu" among other names and can be ordered at Savory Spice: http://www.savoryspiceshop.com/spices/chilthread.html - Sagegreen
Fresh Sumac Berry Iced Tea
Without any sweetener added, this fresh sumac berry iced tea recipe gives a tart, yet subtle, and refreshingly clean impression with pale pink color.
Sweet and Sour Heirloom Tomato Ice Cream, Presto
in search of an interesting, quick dessert recipe, I smooshed some sweet, juicy Tomatoes in with a great local-made vanilla Ice Cream with sapa & sumac.
Herbal or citrus ice
Well I was actually experimenting with making a sun tea from staghorn sumac berries recently, where I strained the berries to yield a pale pink lemonesque beverage. Somehow, I wanted to include the fuzzy berries, without them being a nuisance to the drink itself...so I froze some of the drink with some of the berries in an ice cube tray: Don't! The basil is too thin and it will oxidize. But your can use herbs with tougher more leathery leaves. Citrus peels will also work well. Since basil leaves are very thin, if you want to use them in an ice cube, it is best to infuse the water first and then remove the leaves before freezing. Using basil in the ice cube itself may look nice for a short time, but the leaves tend to turn a bit slimy when the cube melts.
"The Black Forest Bowle"
This Bowle recipe is a nice, fruity summer drink. Deep red color and flavor seeps out of the cherries and they inherit booziness in return. Use dry Riesling.
