Anchovy Buttered Cabbage

A small plate of handmade northern Italian pasta, bigoli en salsa, that I had at North and Navy inspired this concoction. The salsa originally consists of stewing pounds of white onions with olive oil, anchovies, and white wine until creamy. While it's a no-brainer to sub butter for olive oil, I'm not sure how I ended up using cabbage in place of onions and garlic instead of white wine. Anyhow, it ended up being two of the best decisions I've made in the kitchen.

White Chocolate Brown Butter Mousse

The nutty flavour of brown butter comes through as a subtle and truly unique note in this light yellow mousse. The recipe combines a few fun techniques, but still comes together in less than 30 min. It’s also extremely easy to scale – 1 ounce chocolate, 1 egg and 1 tbsp. butter per. person. Chocolate mousse aficionados may recognize it as a ratio picked up from Elizabeth David.

Paal Payasam (3-Ingredient Rice Pudding)

There is a rather endearing practice common to almost all communities in India. At the first hint of anything positive and good in the horizon, any good news—a promotion at work, good grades in school, a college acceptance letter, news of a distant relative's pregnancy, the Indian cricket team scoring a win, doesn't matter what—30 minutes later there invariably will be a sweet dessert ready to share as a thanksgiving. In my house, it's a simple rice pudding known as paal payasam. Its a snap to make. Its not quite as thick as the English version, more like a thick soup.
