Iced Tea Granita
What a lovely summer treat! This Tea Granita is so easy to make and has such a refreshing bite. I like that the recipe allows for creativity & personal taste.
Roasted Persimmons with Brown Butter and Cinnamon
Persimmons take well to being roasted which concentrates their natural sugars into a much more complex sweetness. This recipe amps up the sweetness with butter.
POMEGRANATE KOMBUCHA
I fell in love with this fermented, tangy, fizzy kombucha recipe that uses sweet tea as its base and decided that pomegranate would be a perfect fruit juice.
Wine-Poached Pears Baked in Custard Cream
I wanted a simple homey dish of pears baked in cream. I flipped through Martha Stewart's Pies and Tarts: a pear tart provided the basis for the poaching liquid. I had an open bottle of wine to use up. There wasn't nearly enough in there--is there ever?-- so I opened a second bottle of same. This in itself was cause for celebration, so I raised a glass and sampled some. Immediately things fell into place--oops! I forged tipsily ahead. For the cream sauce I referred to a new book on my shelf, Gâteaux from the Fait Maison series for a sort of crème Anglais, sans eggs. Here is the happy result. Let me know how you like it!
Vanilla-Tomato Jam
Years ago I read about a Parisian restaurant whose star dessert was tomatoes, stuffed with citrus peel and spices and braised in vanilla-scented caramel. It sounded a little questionable at the time, but after making a batch of savory tomato jam this summer I decided to give the tomato-vanilla-citrus combination a try. The result is incredible. The vanilla and lemon bring out the sweetness and hidden fruit character of the tomatoes. It's great paired with aged cheeses, used as a glaze for chicken or pork, or just slathered on a slice of good bread.
Fluffy Strawberry Buttercream
I have yet to find the perfect strawberry cake recipe, but was pair this buttercream with a light vanilla cake and you feel completely satisfied with your strawberry craving.
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.
Tartine Bakery's Lemon Cream
This lemon cream recipe takes the traditional lemon curd process and reverses it, not only saving time, but producing something better, smoother, and lighter.
BLACK PEPPER-VANILLA BEAN-CITRUS VINAIGRETTE
The fragrant long and skinny vanilla bean has the most delicious flavor and is a secret ingredient in many of my favorite recipes. In this dressing the bean gets a starring role. Wonderful with shellfish, seafood and sliced citrus, it is equally fabulous with roasted chicken or pork. It is incredibly fragrant and flavorful. You might be tempted to just try a slug of it!
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.
Vanilla Bean Applesauce
A simple applesauce gussied up with vanilla beans. This apple sauce can be canned using a water bath canner, but it never lasts that long in my house! It does make a really great gift and my in-laws request as soon as fall hits. It can easily be doubled, just make sure to use a very large, wide pan.
kale crisps
Kale is such a super versatile veggie. You can stir fry, eat it raw or bake to create kale chips--which is my sure-fire way to get my son to eat kale. It's so simple that not only will my son eat it, he can make it himself too. Sometimes I top pizzas with this for an added crunch and greens.
BEAT Breakfast Sandwich
This breakfast sandwich recipe combines bacon, egg, avocado, and cherry or grape tomatoes. I find that cherry tomatoes pack more flavor per bite than most.
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.
Lemon Thyme Limoncello
Inspired to create a sorbet by Abby Dodge, I chose to make three cocktail sorbets with the addition of a fresh herb.The Lemon Thyme Limoncello was my favorite!
Seven Minutes to Heavenly Raspberry Jam
As a midwesterner, I am all about canning. There's something magical about taking the garden's delicious summer bounty and turning it into something that can be enjoyed throughout the year (homemade tomato sauce, I'm looking at you). Sometimes your raspberry bush doesn't produce enough berries to do a whole canned batch. Sometimes you eat them all. On occasion, the farmers market offers you a perfect pint that is so delicious you want (need) to find a way to prolong the magic. And thus, the seven minute jam. Fast. Easy. Yum.
Cherry Drop
This summertime cocktail is a cross between a classic lemon drop and an aviation--The addition of a heavenly Luxardo maraschino cherry and a splash of homemade selzer water softens the strong flavors of the lemon and vodka and gives a nice softness to the sugary simple syrup. This drink is fantastic served in a martini glass with the cherry resting at the bottom, or over ice. I coat the rim of each glass with lemon juice and sugar, or as requested on one very festive day--pop rocks candy!
Fresh Almond Salad
The taste of Fresh Almonds is pure freshness, the essence of springtime in one small package. Lemon is lovely in recipes that brighten the almond’s flavor.
Homemade Mascarpone
Every time I make this, I'm surprised at how much better it tastes than store bought domestic mascarpone. When sourcing your heavy cream for this recipe, do try to stay away from ultra pasteurized cream. I have found that it inhibits the thickening. Adapted from my Lemon Posset recipe.
Goat Milk Ricotta Cheese
Making your own ricotta cheese is ridiculously simple. In this recipe, switched it up by using fresh goat milk, which you can get in most grocery stores now.
Red, White and Blue Chipotle Dip
I was trying to figure out what to do with Blue corn chips because I was tired of eating them with just Salsa. I wanted something that was spicy, cool, thick and smokey.
grilled apple slices with prosciutto & cheddar
In this Prosciutto Wrapped Apples recipe the nutritional fiber from the apples and protein from the cheese and prosciutto will keep you satisfied. Try it!
Garbanzo Chickpea Gravy
I used this recipe to liven up my tofu and veggies. Twenty years later, I am no longer meat-free, but I still turn to this lip-smacking chickpea gravy.
Strawberry Preserves: for when you feel like having magic (or a delicious memory) for breakfast
When I was 8 we met my mother's Aunt Frances for brunch at a French restaurant. Aunt Frances was a very distinguished woman who never seemed to age in all of her 90-something years. She would offer you a cocktail upon entering her Upper East Side apartment (even if it was barely 11 am) and she wore her black hair in a chignon until the end. I still remember that brunch-- eating a hot baguette spread with butter and strawberry jam with my chin barely above the crumb covered white tablecloth. It tasted like magic-- and somehow this simple combination of flavors and textures continues to taste like magic even now.
