David Lebovitz's Chocolate Sorbet
Despite having no dairy or eggs, this chocolate sorbet recipe is impossibly creamy. It also remains perfectly scoopable without going icy in the slightest.

Black Bean, Avocado and Pineapple salsa
So far, I've served this salsa with halibut, swordfish and tuna, but I suspect chicken and pork would also marry happily, or chips. It tastes better after the ingredients have spent some time together, so feel free to bring it along to a BBQ, a picnic or camping.

Strawberry Rosé Spritzer
I've traditionally been a purist when it comes to pink wine, but it occurred to me recently that if someone wanted to enjoy the illusion of drinking more rosé without actually getting tipsy, she could combine it with soda water and make a spritzer. (You can take a girl out of the 80s...) What's more, she could whizz up some of those divinely delicious strawberries from the farmers market and add a fruity burst to her spritzer.

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.
Rad Raddish BLT
I'm a sucker for a BLT, so recently I tried to vary up the usual Lettuce-Tomato-Mayo combo. This wild and crazy sammie has radishes, watercress and guacamole for a spicy, earthy twist.
Bacon Wrapped Roasted Radishes
Heating radishes gives them new life. They soften. They mellow. They become buttery. Try this Bacon Wrapped Radishes recipe, it will blow your mind!

Arancello - Sicilian Blood Orange Liqueur
A new spin on the classic limoncello is Arancello, use Sicilian blood oranges in this recipe instead of lemons for a lovely liquor with a bold bright flavor.

Turkish Mint Lemonade
This Turkish Mint Lemonade is one of the most refreshing drinks we've ever had, because it's minty and not too sweet. Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.

Sweet Celery and Pineapple Sorbet
this is a great summer delight i love adding this to my mojitos or margaritas to add that little extra OH YEAH!

Chocolate-Covered Potato Chips with Coconut, Chile Powder, & Toasted Almonds
This recipe literally came to me in a dream. Cover your potato chips in melted chocolate, dip in shredded coconut, and season with chile powder and cinnamon.
Masala Lemon Soda
What do you do when life gives you lemons! Taddaaaa! Make Masala Soda recipe! Masala soda is a very well-known street drink found in most of the cities in India.

SAGE HONEY CHICKEN WITH A WALNUT CRUST
My favorite kind of recipe that uses just 5 ingredients and is ready for the spotlight in about 35 minutes for a great dinner. Try this Honey Sage Chicken!
Grilled Peaches with Mozzarella, Basil and Prosciutto
This is a delicious bite that my Sister-in-Law turned us on to last Winter.

Boiled icing (aka Italian meringue)
An old standby also known as an Italian meringue, there are many uses for boiled icing including the Cinnamon Balls we make at Passover (use food52 recipe search to find my recipe). - olinsloan

Pesto Pizza Crostini
Admittedly a bit plebian, this creation was borne from a long-ago 1980s (!) evening that featured too many cocktails...followed by the return home to an almost-empty fridge. Comfort food: salty, creamy, savory, crunchy. No regrets the next morning.

Prosciutto Crudo Bites Of Love

Fresh Homemade Mozzarella
Ever get the itch to make your own homemade mozzarella cheese? if the answer is yes, please read on.

Abuelito's Super-Special Punch
I promise, this Special Punch recipe will make you very popular with kids of all ages. For an adult version, try adding a hint of rum. Cheers!

Isabelle's Cognac Punch
This recipe comes from my boyfriend's mother, Isabelle. I originally asked for her spiced wine recipe for this contest, which I tried last Christmas, ladled from a pot heated over the wood-burning fireplace in their family room. She told me that she didn't really have a written recipe for her spiced wine; it was just a little of this and a little of that, but offered me her Cognac Punch instead. Since she comes from Cognac, it feels extra authentic. This punch would be great for any holiday party, because it looks and tastes so festive!

Blood Orange and Ginger Punch (Cocktail)
Blood Orange juice & Ginger ale are paired with lime and, for the adult version, liquor, vodke or rum, to create this wonderful Cocktail recipe. Cheers!

Sossie Beile's Little Cherry Crumb Bars
Heavenly! That's the first thing that comes to mind when you try this Recipe With Cherry Preserves. Light & not very sweet, perfect with a cup of afternoon tea.
The WFP: Greek Mahogany Potatoes
The idea for this recipe comes from Avgolimono soup. Some recipes are more about guidelines than about measurements. This is one of those recipes.
Real Strawberry Lemonade
This Real Strawberry Lemonade recipe is a fresh alternative to the store-bought artificially flavored version. It's full of strawberries & squeezed lemon juice.
Poor Man's Kirsch (Alternately: Redneck Kirsch)
I wanted to preserve sour cherries in something without too much flavor. Having no vodka on hand, I turned to white lightening. Voila: homemade kirsch recipe.
