Coconut milk risotto (Arborio rice pudding)
Beet, Mushroom and Beef Burgers
I incorporated a roasted beet into the beef and roasted mushroom mix, allowing me to shave another couple of ounces of beef off the formula, and the resulting burger is a winner. The beet contributes moisture, texture and great color – almost a rare meaty look – to these almost-veggie burgers (I tried the grated roasted beets and mushrooms as a mix without the meat and it didn’t hold together; I plan to work on a vegetarian version at a later date.) Meanwhile I love the texture of this patty and the herbal flavors of the mint and chives. If you want to splurge a little (after all there are only 2 ounces of beef in each patty), melt a little blue cheese or gorgonzola on top. I like to serve this with a spicy green, like baby arugula or mizuna.

A delicious and creamy butternut squash risotto.
Baked Potato Chips with Chive Dip
Before you reach for that bag of sour cream potato chips, check out this recipe for your own with chive dip! It has the same great flavor, but half the fat!
Irish Lady Potato Salad
I call this recipe an Irish Lady Potato Salad because, well, an Irish lady made it for me many years ago. It is remarkably simple and insanely delicious.
Chicharrón with Lime and Chili Salt
Rhum Ham
Rum + Ham is delicious.
Apfelpfannekucken (Dutch Apple Pancakes)
Many years ago my sister Corrine put together a "Favorite Family Recipes" book and included this recipe. This has become our Favorite special breakfast, brunch, community dish. I have tweaked the original to suit my tastes.
Quinoa Couscous Salad
A delicious chopped salad!!!! A few simple fresh changes and this salad is always in season. So good I could eat it everyday!
Roasted and Whipped Bone Marrow
This is my favorite simple way to prepare bone marrow—the herbs add a little freshness and whipping makes it look slightly more presentable than it does fresh out of the oven. Spread it on toast, cook eggs or roast vegetables with it, or let it melt over your steak while it’s resting. If it’s the main event and you’re just spreading it on bread, some acid (like a squeeze of lemon or a splash of vinegar) will help cut the fatty richness.
Bailiwick
Refreshing and light, but still boozy... don't switch out the fresh orange juice for concentrate. It's just not the same thing!
Sour Strawberry Punch
This sour strawberry punch recipe is great since everyone loves tequila and the berries are just pretty! Guests will try to figure out that secret syrup touch.
The Filthiest Martini (with Dill Infused Vodka)
If you're a fan of dirty martinis, or pickles, or even filthy martinis, then you will absolutely love this Dill Infused Vodka cocktail recipe. Cheers!
The Quirky Girl Cocktail
The Quirky Girl Cocktail is a little sweet, a little sour, and very quirky. It's a killer combination of blueberry, lemon, lavender simple syrup, and vodka that is sure to cleanse any palette.
Srirachelada
The perfect accompaniment to your Korean taco.
New Classic Buttercream
This is real French buttercream reorganized to eliminate the trickiest steps. Traditional French buttercream requires pouring hot sugar syrup over eggs while beating steadily -- without scrambling them or splattering most of the syrup around the sides of the bowl. Then the mixture is reheated (to be sure that the eggs get cooked but not scrambled) and beaten again to cool before beating in the butter. Pastry chefs make this all the time, but home cooks are at a disadvantage because small batches are trickier than large batches. This recipe produces classic results with fewer, easier steps. Recipe from Flavor Flours: A New Way to Bake With Teff, Buckwheat, Sorghum, Other Whole and Ancient Grains, Nuts, and Non-Wheat Flours (Artisan, 2014).
Spaghetti Squash
Oven Roasted Spaghetti Squash
Cinnamon Cashew Butter
Cashew Butter with Hints of Fresh Ground Cinnamon and Vanilla Extract.
Scallion Dry Ramen
Practically bare naked, the scallions are completely transformed into sweet bits of caramelized umami by the frying, and believe me (for your own benefit) when I say that this is simplicity at its best.
Strawberry Protein Smoothie
A delicious and healthy way to treat yourself after a workout!
Pig Pulled Over
This recipe serves 16, so living on my own it means two weeks of pulled pork sandwich for lunch. But when each subsequent sandwich surpasses the previous, that can hardly pose a problem.The choice of fruit juice is arbitrary, but I like mango because it reduces into the richest glaze. This method of making coleslaw is inspired by the Taiwanese pickling technique of first making a vinegar simple syrup, then pouring the hot syrup over the vegetables and letting it sit for three days. The result is something incredibly flavourful with a gutsy balance of acidity to cut through the pork’s fattiness.
Dukkah Dusted Lavash Crackers
I came up with the idea for these when I was making pita chips for a large party a few years back. Splitting the pitas and then brushing with olive oil just seemed to take forever. I was asked to make the same appetizer a week later, so when I was in the store looking at the pita and thinking how "pita" described perfectly what it's like making pita chips for 30, I noticed the lavash right next to them. Inspiration struck, I came up with this much easier alternative, and I haven't made a pita chip since. I like using my own dukkah blend, or za'atar made with fresh thyme, or a bit of both. These bake up best on a preheated baking stone in a screaming hot oven, so I typically make these right before or right after making pizza or artisanal bread. If I'm not interrupted and can get a good rhythm going, I can cut and prepare one lavash while another is baking in the oven (2-3 minutes), so a big batch using 6 lavash takes less than a half an hour to prep and bake. I hope you like these. ;o)
Basil Infused Olive Oil
I love making this Basil Infused Olive Oil recipe and drizzle it over heirloom tomatoes, grilled eggplant, fresh mozzarella and broiled fish.
