Goat Cheese & Fig Pizza
Creativity was at its peak and I came up with this combination. I thought the pizza turned out to be a bit dry so I'd add caramelized onions next time. Just melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a non-stick pan and cook 1/4 cup sliced yellow onion until they turn light brown.
Rutabaga "Cacio e Pepe"
I was pleasantly surprised the first time I made thinly sliced rutabaga cooked with nothing but toasty black pepper and butter. The flavors were earthy, sweet and complex and I ate a whole platter. We make noodles out of all sorts of vegetables (zucchini, carrot) and I wanted to try the same with the rutabaga. Thinking of that peppery goodness, I decided to try to make a version of the Italian cacio e pepe dish which is basically fresh pasta tossed with pasta water, cheese and pepper. I knew the rutabaga would not hold up to the vigorous stirring or have the starch required for the creamy sauce, but figured the flavors would be excellent and this dish did not disappoint. I served it with grilled pork chops with a peach gastrique and bitter green salad. Earthy, summery goodness.
Heirloom tomato salad with fresh mozzarella, watermelon and mint
My new favorite flavor combination is tomato and mint. With watermelon and a scoop of mozzarella, it's a light summer lunch. Burrata is hard to come by in my neck of the woods, but if you can get it, use it instead of the mozzarella
Scallion and Parmesan Buttered Crostini
A sliced and toasted baguette spread with a generous amount of butter is my idea of a perfect snack, appetizer or accompaniment to any meal. One day, however, I decided to try adding scallions and parmesan to softened butter, and stumbled upon something delicious without being fussy or overly-seasoned.
Garlic Scape & Basil Pesto
I am part of a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and this week, I recieved one of my favorite ingredients, Garlic Scapes! They are actually the plant greens of garlic and only come around a few weeks out of the year! They are insanely delicious with their light garlic and earthy flavor and make for an amazing pesto. I served mine on spaghetti with pan roasted tomatoes. My recent batch included a mix of pine nuts, walnuts and marcona almonds which were all in my pantry and was devine! I also froze some for a great quick crostini when guests come over topped with Burrata cheese.
BLT Wrapped Bites with Feta Cheese
I love cherry tomatoes and especially love the varieties available. With a box of cherry heirlooms, this preparation came to mind. The trick was to come up with a bite that would be easy to prepare and not wind up on everyone's laps or my floor. Serving the bites enveloped in romaine lettuce leaves makes it easy for eaters to wrap up the filling, and enjoy the feeling of a BLT. I prefer using feta cheese to blue cheese or chevre - blue cheese will be sharper in flavor; chevre milder.
Warm Turnip Spread
Spread this rich and creamy spread on toasted bread or crackers for a decadent treat. Turnips are boiled and then mashed and combined with cheeses. to create a delicious appetizer.
Chopped Eggs on English Muffins with Asparagus and Cheese Sauce
This is a dish I make for my family or friends for brunch, particularly at Easter time. It's also a filling, inexpensive "breakfast for supper" dish and is a great way to use up extra eggs.
Ramp and Chèvre Pizza with Red Pepper Pesto and Spelt Crust
Let's be clear: This pizza is assembled from store-bought ingredients. If you'd like to make your own spelt crust and red pepper pesto, it will be amazing. The spelt dough I buy weighs about a pound and generally yields two thin pizzas, so it would be easy to double.
Grilled Goat Cheese with Apple on Cranberry Pecan Bread
Happy National Grilled Cheese Day! Since we’re on a Hunger Games kick, this sandwich is also inspired by our culinary book of the month. It’s a hybrid between the fruit-and-nut bread with goat cheese that Gale and Katniss eat at the beginning of the first book, and the apple and goat cheese tarts that Peeta serves at his bakery. If you haven’t read Hunger Games, then this is just an unaffiliated, super classy Grilled Goat Cheese Sandwich on Cranberry Pecan Bread with Apples. Enjoy!
Blintz
These cheesy gooey delights are both sweet and tangy and a perfect every day breakfast with only 4 ingredients. Growing up my mom called them blintz, and it wasn’t until my freshmen year at the cafeteria in college that I realized these are not your traditional blintz. High in protein and low in fat these are the easiest and healthiest “pancakes” I have every made.
Mozzarella
This mozzarella recipe is the result of multiple trials in the FOOD52 test kitchen and at home. The result is a fresh and soft cheese.
Middle Eastern Grilled Cheese
Ok, I know, grilled cheese is ALWAYS awesome, no matter how you make it (uh, bread, butter and gooey melted cheese… yeah!!). But trust me on this one. Using pita bread brings crunchiness to a different level. And awesomeness. Like a gooey, crunchy bite of perfection.

Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Skewers
I am always looking for ways to reinvent dishes into cutesy bite-size appetizer form, and this Goat Cheese and Beet Hors D'Oeuvres recipe works perfectly.
Frank Dorn's Enchiladas with Chicken
Frank's five children are all great friends of mine. A Southern Californian and a nurseryman, a great cook, and an all around entertaining patriarch, Frank had a way with food that is admirable - simple but good. His daughter, Dot, taught me this recipe, to which I have added chicken and a little extra kick to the enchilada sauce. I was inspired to submit it after a Hotline question summoned a call for enchilada recipes. Frank made me the first enchiladas I ever ate.
Orange Sandesh
Sandesh is a very simple dish made from cottage cheese.
Halloumi, Cranberry and Stuffing Bites
As a Christmas hors d'oeuvre, these are (veggie) Christmas on bread. I was inspired by a sandwich I had in a deli, Munchies, in Dublin. The saltiness of the halloumi is delicious with the cranberry sweetness and the stuffing adds further flavour. These work best with ciabatta bread but you can use what you have. I homemake the cranberry sauce using Jamie Oliver's recipe and buy the stuffing ready made in the supermarket.
Egg KimMuffins
I recently discovered that an H Mart was within driving distance from my house. I went to check it out, left with a cart full of fun stuff, and have been experimenting with all the new Korean ingredients I found. I've really been liking kimchi on sandwiches paired with different kinds of cheeses, and this is my favorite of the moment.
Sweet Hots
This is my take on jalapeno wonton poppers, the recipe you see all over the internet where cheese is combined with jalapeno peppers, wrapped in a wonton wrapper, fried and dipped in a sauce. I put the sauce right in and form into a mini egg roll making for a nice little sweet and spicy bite (or two).
Grilled Peaches with Mozzarella, Basil and Prosciutto
This is a delicious bite that my Sister-in-Law turned us on to last Winter.
Boursin-Stuffed Mushrooms
This stuffed mushrooms recipe remains as easy and as awesome as ever. It includes just two ingredients! Fill mushroom caps with Boursin garlic and herb cheese.
