Sheet-Pan Shrimp With Tomatoes, Feta and Oregano
Ready in 10 minutes, this Mark Bittman recipe from 2013 is a perfect weeknight recipe. It relies heavily on garlic, oregano and black pepper as a coating for the shrimp. Serve alongside a hearty salad or with a stack of flatbread for an easy meal. In his original piece, a roundup of shrimp recipes, he suggested wild shrimp from the Pacific or Gulf of Mexico, or fresh local shrimp from Maine or the Carolinas, if they’re available to you. All, he wrote, are “preferable from a sustainability perspective.”
Ume Plum and Parmesan Green Bean Salad
In 2005 a friend of mine approached me asking me if I wanted to open a restaurant with her. She told me that she already found the space and had a vision but wanted a partner. She knew I had just graduated from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School and that I was a yogi like her, who had a passion for health food. I know Le Cordon Bleu and Health don't exactly go together, but I love to cook gourmet and make it healthy. So while we never actually did open the restaurant together we did spend a lot of time creating recipes together for our restaurant. This was one of our favorites, and every time I make it for anyone they ask for the recipe!
Stuffed Jalapeños
As a game-day snack, they cannot be beat. Stuffed jalapeños, filled with Cheddar and cream cheese and run through with cilantro, are roasted to sweet intensity in the oven and finished under the broiler or in the dying light of a grill's fire. Consume with beer in advance of a plate of chicken wings, or a nap.
Zucchini With Fresh Tomatoes and Mozzarella
Marshmallow Creamy Yogurt
Toasted or roasted marshmallows are all-time favorite. The trendiest way of enjoying Marshmallow in Japan is this recipe: mix them with your favorite Yogurt.
Blueberry Fool with Yogurt
From Nigel Slater's Ripe (Ten Speed Press, 2012). Slater uses sugar; I prefer honey (and a tablespoon less). Use whichever appeals. He also suggests you chill the fool for an hour before serving; in case you don't have the time or patience, I've eaten it almost immediately after making and found it still irresistible.
Salad with Crisp Croutons
A tasty and light summer salad perfect as a starter, side dish or as a light lunch.
Roasted Tomato Eggplant Melts
I savor this every time I have ripe tomatoes and eggplant which seems to happen almost every week starting in July. Its a perfect side dish or works as a light dinner on its own. The recipe is inspired by our community garden newsletter where gardeners are always looking for creative ways to use our produce. Be sure to use thin skinned eggplant which is more edible than its thicker skinned, more oblong cousin.
Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta with Homemade Ricotta
A perfect Italian summer dish that takes advantage of the full flavors of summer vine ripe tomatoes.
Flans with Muscovado Sauce
These are almost too easy! Forget about caramelizing sugar for the molds. Just press some flavorful raw sugar into the bottom of each dish, and pour the flan mixture on top. The sugar dissolves into a sauce when the flans are chilled. Adapted from Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts by Alice Medrich (Artisan, 2012)

Cold Drip Coffee Chip Ice Cream
Adapted from David Leibovitz's Perfect Scoop, this ice cream mixes a potent combo of cold drip coffee (not from your Mr. Coffee) and sweetened condensed milk into a frozen treat that answers the question, why just sip the drip?
Brad Spence's Salted Butter Semifreddo
This is an anytime, any season pantry frozen treat -- no ice cream machine required. Spence serves it year-round at Amis in Philadelphia, on blueberry tarts and in hot fudge sundaes, over spiced pound cake and yeasted waffles, and blended into maple milkshakes. Adapted from Amis Restaurant in Philadelphia, PA. Note: The eggs in this recipe aren't cooked. Just buy them from a trustworthy source -- Spence's come from Green Meadow Farm in Gap, PA -- or you can use pasteurized eggs.
Stuffed Mushrooms
For some reason it seems as if all vegetarians are automatically required to like mushrooms because that is the considered “meat” for vegetarians. Unlike most vegetarians, I never liked mushrooms...unless they're stuffed with cheese...mmmm!
Mango Crostini
Call me crazy, but I grew up eating mangoes on toast for breakfast during the summers every year. My family has this thing for pairing sweet and savory flavors together – not everybody likes it, I can tell you that! I guess its very similar to eating fruits with cheese - just like the French people. Its something about pairing the savory and sweet together – it somehow balances the flavors out. This recipe is inspired from my childhood breakfast
Roasted Beet and Yellow Tomato Salad with Goat Ricotta and Basil
The acidity of the yellow tomatoes combined with the sweetness of the beets and that tang of the goat ricotta embodies the colors and flavors of summer in an absolutely perfect way. Inspired by some of the beautiful food photography all around the web, this is an absolutely fantastic salad to brighten up your table and bring joy to your tastebuds!
Grilled Cheddar Cheese Sandwich with Pears
I had this saved for years and finally made it today. Boy, oh, boy, is this delicious? And SO simple. Hope you also enjoy it!
Bay (or Rosemary) Scented Ricotta Infornata
When I first learned to make ricotta, I went slightly overboard with delight and had ricotta overflowing in my refrigerator. I made gnocchi, ravioli, gelato, Kulka's ricotta lemon bars, cheesecakes and used it in a number of pasta dishes. It seems like I was searching daily for other recipes to incorporate it. One day, in the cheese section of our local health food store, I came across something new to me- ricotta infornata, a slow baked ricotta cheese with a golden brown crust and crumbly center. I purchased a piece and was so delighted by it's simplicity and possible uses that I of course, wanted to try to make it. A web search revealed a few methods so I experimented. A blog by Marisa Wilkins, All Things Sicilian, was an inspiration. My version bakes up creamier than the cheese I purchased, actually a plus in my mind. I love the earthiness that bay imparts but it is also good using fresh rosemary. Serve it as a first course with a salad or as a dessert drizzled with honey and served with figs or grapes. The possibilities are as endless as is the use for any good cheese!
Apricot-Rose Mintshake
Mint- the cavalier.
The Easiest, Cutest, Tastiest “Riding Hood” Cookies

Gorgonzola Walnut Spread
This lovely handmade spread redefines the hackneyed “cheese spread” genre. It’s easy to put together and is great for a picnic, tailgate, cocktail party, Saturday afternoon on the patio, road food. You get the picture. Please chop or break up the walnuts by hand so they don’t turn into crumbs.
Garlicky Goat Cheese Toast
9 months ago I planted my first garlic and this week I pulled several bulbs out - what I am I going to do with it all? After using it in stirfry and sauteed Swiss Chard I wanted to go all the way with some of my favorite tastes so Roasted Garlic and Goat Cheese Toast was born. It makes a great lunch or snack or you could get fancy with it as an appetizer. The trick is to have it already roasted and waiting in the fridge so all you have to do is squeeze that goodness onto your toast, top it with your favorite goat and go! Simple and good. If you are an avocado toast fan you might like this too. If you eat communally or share an office you may want to ensure others in the room are eating it too.
Easy Amaretto Pineapple Ice Pops
My love of something frozen and creamy started at an early age with afternoon visits from Mr. Jolly and his ice cream truck. My love grew stronger when I would visit my Aunt and Uncle who lived near Wrightsville Beach NC every summer. Not only were the beach visits glorious but Uncle "Doots" owned Dairy Queens! Staying up late, swimming and all the ice cream I could eat - every day was heaven. I still love creamy frozen treats and am always thinking of ways to make grown up versions of them. Using 1% milk makes me think I can enjoy one every day! Sometimes I dunk it in a tiny splash of Amaretto ~ This is so easy and so delicious I make variations on them all year round.
Butternut Tomato sauce
I paid more than $6 for a jar of gourmet pasta sauce, but after reading the ingredients I realized it was pretty simple. Adding defrosted butternut squash--the whole package with a quart jar of homemade or quality prepared tomato pasta sauce--couldn't be easier. Not only does this add a great nutritional punch, but its a complex flavor and nice thickness that adds a lot to homemade sauce or baked pasta dishes.
