Barbecue Sans the Grill
Some of us live where we cannot grill on a daily basis (condos, apartments, etc.). This is my tried and true recipe for great pork bbq.
Nakedly Steak
If you have salt, a slab of beef, and 4 days, you're in for a meaty treat. This recipe yields the perfect Steak: intense flavor, caramelize crust.

Wild Leek Pesto
For this pesto recipe, place the leeks in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. Add the pumpkin seeds and enough olive oil to process finely.
Brie En Croute
I love brie and when you wrap it in puff pastry and stuff it with sweet filling, it can't really get any better. I make this appetizer for every get together and there is never, ever any left over.
Fried Snails with Olive Oil & Rosemary (aka Boubouristoi)
In Crete we call snails boubouristi, which means "with their head looking down". Being a student in Crete, I had to learn to cook fried snails for this recipe.
Wilted Arugula with Anchovies and Fried Bread Crumbs
This version of wilted greens is one of my go-to's and is seriously packed with flavor. Arugula, anchovies and bread crumbs come together in this tasty recipe.
Chard and Walnut Pesto
Chard and walnuts make a darker, heartier pesto that is fresh, filling, and cheaper to make. We have experimented with quite a few alternative pestos recipes.
Spanish Yaki Onigiri
When I was a small child living in Nakamichi, Japan my favorite thing to eat was yaki onigiri. (which translates to grilled triangular shaped rice) However as much as I love all Japanese food, there are exceptions which include Umeboshi (pickled plums), which resulted in my (spanish) mother replacing the filling of my yaki onigiris with olives. This only resulted in it becoming more delicious, which proves that growing up ethnically confused results in some delicious cross cultural food combinations. Sadly because I no longer live in Japan, I do not have a very tiny but powerful broiler right underneath the stove, although I didn't have an oven back then making cake baking pretty impossible.
Mango, Basil and Gin Popsicles
This is the best way to serve a cocktail! This mash-up of a gin cocktail and popsicles is just perfect for summer time!
No-Cook Blackberry-Lemon Ice Cream
A very simple Blackberry Lemon Ice Cream recipe that showcases summer fruit. Creamy and rich with sweetened condensed milk, tart and bright with lemon juice.
Salted Dark Chocolate Mousse
An addictive dessert for those with a slightly stronger savory persuasion. Dark chocolate mouse is accented with a hefty amount of sea salt.
Danish Cucumbers
These crisp cucumbers were a favorite during hot summers on my grandparents' farm in New Hampshire. Cucumbers are thinly sliced, salted and pressed with a weight in the fridge, drawing out much of the excess moisture. They’re then drained, tossed with apple cider vinegar and dipped in sour cream or crème fraîche if you're feeling fancy. Refreshing, extremely simple and a great alternative to a bowl of chips.
Matcha tea Affogato
A hot shot of matcha poured over a cooling coconut matcha ice cream scoop.

Anna Teresa Callen’s Pizza and Calzone Dough
Anna Teresa Callen was a native-born Italian who lived her adult life in New York where she became renowned for teaching authentic Italian cooking. She was a dear friend of mine so I had many opportunities to not only enjoy her cooking, but also to cook with and learn from her. This is her pizza (and calzone) dough recipe. I've been making and teaching it for about 30 years. It never fails - not for me, and not in my cooking classes.
