Black Bean, Avocado and Pineapple salsa
So far, I've served this salsa with halibut, swordfish and tuna, but I suspect chicken and pork would also marry happily, or chips. It tastes better after the ingredients have spent some time together, so feel free to bring it along to a BBQ, a picnic or camping.
Strawberry Rosé Spritzer
I've traditionally been a purist when it comes to pink wine, but it occurred to me recently that if someone wanted to enjoy the illusion of drinking more rosé without actually getting tipsy, she could combine it with soda water and make a spritzer. (You can take a girl out of the 80s...) What's more, she could whizz up some of those divinely delicious strawberries from the farmers market and add a fruity burst to her spritzer.
Rad Raddish BLT
I'm a sucker for a BLT, so recently I tried to vary up the usual Lettuce-Tomato-Mayo combo. This wild and crazy sammie has radishes, watercress and guacamole for a spicy, earthy twist.
Spring Radish Crostini with creamy Herb Butter
The crunchy baguette slathered with the garlicky-herb butter and topped with crisp Radish and delicate pea sprout is the perfect Crostini recipe appetizer.
Bacon Wrapped Roasted Radishes
Heating radishes gives them new life. They soften. They mellow. They become buttery. Try this Bacon Wrapped Radishes recipe, it will blow your mind!
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.
Smoky Garlic Chives, Squash and Bacon
Quick and easy stir fry. Kouza squash is my preferred squash for this dish but yellow squash and zucchini are fine substitutes.
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.
SAGE HONEY CHICKEN WITH A WALNUT CRUST
My favorite kind of recipe that uses just 5 ingredients and is ready for the spotlight in about 35 minutes for a great dinner. Try this Honey Sage Chicken!
Grilled Peaches with Mozzarella, Basil and Prosciutto
This is a delicious bite that my Sister-in-Law turned us on to last Winter.
Boiled icing (aka Italian meringue)
An old standby also known as an Italian meringue, there are many uses for boiled icing including the Cinnamon Balls we make at Passover (use food52 recipe search to find my recipe). - olinsloan
Pesto Pizza Crostini
Admittedly a bit plebian, this creation was borne from a long-ago 1980s (!) evening that featured too many cocktails...followed by the return home to an almost-empty fridge. Comfort food: salty, creamy, savory, crunchy. No regrets the next morning.
Prosciutto Crudo Bites Of Love
Abuelito's Super-Special Punch
I promise, this Special Punch recipe will make you very popular with kids of all ages. For an adult version, try adding a hint of rum. Cheers!
Blood Orange and Ginger Punch (Cocktail)
Blood Orange juice & Ginger ale are paired with lime and, for the adult version, liquor, vodke or rum, to create this wonderful Cocktail recipe. Cheers!
Sossie Beile's Little Cherry Crumb Bars
Heavenly! That's the first thing that comes to mind when you try this Recipe With Cherry Preserves. Light & not very sweet, perfect with a cup of afternoon tea.
The WFP: Greek Mahogany Potatoes
The idea for this recipe comes from Avgolimono soup. Some recipes are more about guidelines than about measurements. This is one of those recipes.
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.
Poor Man's Kirsch (Alternately: Redneck Kirsch)
I wanted to preserve sour cherries in something without too much flavor. Having no vodka on hand, I turned to white lightening. Voila: homemade kirsch recipe.
Bloody Good Hammer Steak
I have experimented with Balsamic vinegars of varying age and viscosity. 12 year old (or thereabouts) is a good choice for this hammer steak recipe.
“Plum Wine” with Lime
Black plums are one of my favorite things. This Lime Plum Wine recipe is tangy and refreshing and a lovely shade of deep pink. Garnish with a small basil leaf.
Basil Vodka Gimlet Cocktail
This simple, refreshing gimlet cocktail is a pitch-perfect blend of basil, fresh lime juice, and vodka that was made for sipping outside with friends.
Children of the Sun Cocktail
This drink was inspired by the spicy margaritas at Las Perlas in LA. It calls for jalapeño-infused tequila and some smoked salt on the rim (that smokiness with the tequila reminds me of mezcal). I made tons of these for lounging by the pool during this year's Coachella (thus the name). The key to a good poolside cocktail is something refreshing, citrus-y and easy to make. I highly recommend tripling this recipe and keeping a pitcher by the pool.
Frosted Ginger Peach Bellini
Ripe, sweet summer peaches make this drink seasonal and delicious!
