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!
Ginger Cranberry Cooler
Cape Cods seem a bit strong for a summer sipping drink, so I refreshed the Cape Cod with some ginger ale for a refreshing summer drink.
Crema di Limoncello - Limoncello Milk Liqueur
This crema di limoncello is a typical recipe from the South of Italy, based on the Limoncello but adding milk to the liqueur. Serve the subtle drink chilled.
Evergreen
Very Belini like, not too alcoholic, full of fruit, blended using a fruit slush rather then ice to cool it.
Cherise's Special
Sorry for the stock photo...in the process of moving and just joined...just got back from Antigua and the bartender, Cherise, made a fantastic, blue, frozen concoction she served in a martini glass. After doing some reasearch, it's very close to a frozen blue hawaiian. The raspberry drizzle compliments the otherwise tropical flavors and adds a pleasant contrast to the vibrant blue.
Prickly Pear Wine Coolers
This recipe makes a gourmet wine spritzer, sort of! Use prickly pear syrup, which is surprisingly easy to find at most liquor stores or gourmet shops.
Bunga Bunga
Still another concoction in our tribute series to the antics of Italy’s adorable former head of state, Silvio Berlusconi who has done everything but erect a stripper pole in Palazzo Chigi where Italy’s lower house meets. When he was entertaining his huge entourage his meals always included meals in the colors of the “tricolore”, Italy’s flag; green, white, and red. Here comes the red part. E basta cosi.
Gin Sangria
Perfect for a hot summer day!
Pink Drink
Inspired by a cocktail I enjoyed at The Dreamaway Lodge in Becket, MA
Orange Green Tea Sparkler
Based on my neighbor's recipe she often throws together involving iced green tea and orange juice. I add some sparkling water for a little fizz AKA the sparkle.
Mint Iced Tea
You don't need much in order to make this Mint Iced Tea recipe. Basically just use tea bags, sugar, water and lots of fresh mint leaves. Lemon is optional.
