Cacio e Pepe "Gelato"

Homemade Sauce Mayonnaise by M.F.K. Fisher
This is my favorite mayonnaise recipe, and frankly gives the best flavor of all mayonnaise's I've tasted. This recipe is originally from an old Classic French Cookbook of mine that I played around with. Instead of using lemon juice I used a white wine vinegar (you can use red as well), and I also used a combination of both olive oil and vegetable oil. Usually this is made with olive oil or vegetable oil, but I ran out of olive oil so I had to combine them both. Either way this recipe is great!! Enjoy!

Waverley Root's Agrigento Red Cabbage with Black Olives and Capers
Sweet and sour braised cabbage is a familiar character in German beer hall menus, with the punch of vinegar usually offset by melted brown sugar and apples. But as I've come to learn from this Sicilian recipe published in 1974, what braised cabbage might have really needed all along wasn't wasn't sweetness, but umami, in the form of black olives and crushed capers. Adapted slightly from [The Best of Italian Cooking](http://www.amazon.com/Waverly-Roots-Best-Italian-Cooking/dp/B0031VZ9H4/?tag=food52-20) (Grosset & Dunlap, 1974).

Whiskey mable almonds
Roasting nuts is one of the simplest and easiets ways to be creative about your food. If you love your snacks as much as I do, it's also a really good oppotunity to cut down on your intake of salt. The salt/sugar/spicy balance is a pretty personal thing, but here's a good starting point.

Brown Sugar Marshmallows
Soft, pillowy clouds of happiness with just the slightest nuttiness from the dark brown sugar. Adapted from @kitchn (How To Make Fluffy Marshmallows)- Great space to learn new things! This is a very simplified take on marshmallows and takes a slightly casual approach to marshmallow making! This recipe is so customizable! Add spices and cocoa powder to the dusting mixture or replace the vanilla extract with a cheeky liqueur like Frangelico! If I can do it so can you! @freakinthekitchento

Really Good Vinaigrette
I was inspired by the vinaigrette recipe in Heartburn, by Nora Ephron, to get back to making proper salad dressings. This is a doctored-up version of it that I've been making. Nothing groundbreaking, but solid.
