Gnocchi with Leftover Parts
In the fall, I often have two items lurking in my fridge.. leftover mashed potatoes, and leftover pumpkin puree. I've often thrown them out, much to my dismay. No more! After long research into "leftover mashed potato gnocchi," I think I've finally got it right. Many "leftover mash gnocchi" recipes don't take into account the extra liquid added (because really.. who doesn't put butter or cream in their mash) and you end up with a sticky, gummy mess. These were perfect—light, tender, but still toothsome, and is easy as pie to make. This recipe requires a little bit of "feeling it out," as the amount of flour will vary person to person, and a smooth mashed potato with as few clumps as possible will yield the best results.

Enjoy Home-Brewed Tea, Anywhere
Regardless of whether or not you’re from the South, brewed iced tea likely has a special meaning to you. Maybe your grandmother brewed it extra sweet and added a few mint leaves for garnish, or maybe your sister serves it at brunch with a slice of lemon. Iced tea always seems to conjure up fond memories for me, that warm feeling of “coming home”.

Pan Roasted Bengali Carrots and Beans with Lime
This recipe is a staple in my house especially during the months of August, September and October when the garden is brimming with crisp green beans and sweet and tender carrots. The recipe uses the classic Bengali 5 spice seasoning called panchphoron an aromatic medley of fennel, cumin, black mustard seeds, nigella seeds and fenugreek, ginger and is finished off with a sprinkle of fresh lime and sometimes when I do not have lime handy I use red wine vinegar. This is similar to the potato and cauliflower recipe that I featured in my cookbook, The Bengali Five Spice Chronicles but, this one is well suited to be eaten as a cooked salad as well. I personally do not add salt to the recipe because I feel it showcases the flavors of the fresh vegetables better, feel free to adapt this to your taste.
Apples in Cardamom-Lime Syrup
This Apple Lime recipe is spectacular—much better than the sum of its parts. Serve alone, or with a nut or coconut cookie, add a scoop of yogurt or ice cream.
Peach sour cream sherbet
Though Alice Medrich`s recipe states that this is an ice cream, I`d call it more of a sherbet because it`s on a less creamy, more refreshing side. But probably if you use 25% fat sour cream all the way through, you`ll get just that perfect ice cream creaminess.

Redcurrant coconut ice cream
The tapioca acts as a thickener and gives body to this ice cream, but you may omit it if you want a sherbet like consistency. But i`m just dead afraid of churning too liquidy things (think sorbet and sherbet) so I`d stick to tapioca if I were you.
