Spiced & Caramelized Sweet Potato Fries
I seem to go through a lot of sweet potatoes every week. They’re a great pantry staple to have on hand for easy and comforting but healthy meals. I almost never do more than slice them into rounds and then roast with a little bit of olive oil and sea salt. This recipe is the one exception to the rule but it’s still embarrassingly simple. It's adapted from a fantastic recipe for candied sweet potato fries I saw on Tara Stiles' website and requires a handful of ingredients you probably already have on hand and it always works. Every single time. It’s also absolutely delicious and can feed a crowd.
Basil Pignoli Pesto Recipe
A simple basil pignoli pesto recipe, I love it on everything. It’s easy to make and versatile. A classic pesto recipe that goes well with so many things. Some of my favorites: a slice of crusty bread, pasta, tarts, fish, drizzled over steam veggies, on a grilled chicken breast, on a panini sandwich, or on a pizza. It’s said that the best way to make it is with a mortar and pestle but I think a food processor makes it faster and easier method when you are running around and if you don’t have one a blender works too.
Lemony Shrimp and Quinoa
This quick and easy lemony dish uses two of my favourite things.....Shrimp and Quinoa! These two items are on my list of quick and easy go to meals. You can do just about anything with them in a very short time.
Marshmallow Creamy Yogurt
Toasted or roasted marshmallows are all-time favorite. The trendiest way of enjoying Marshmallow in Japan is this recipe: mix them with your favorite Yogurt.
Quinoa with apricot and pine kernels
I discovered the quinoa just a year ago, and now I'm fan number one. A friend runs a health product shop, and we come together a couple of times a week to talk about food, and this is our new baby.
The Grilled Lake House Burger
This is my burger mix. I bump up the umami just for good measure. It pays handsomely in the end. Make a build your own burger platter with lots of fresh stuff. I like Bibb lettuce, fresh cucumbers, pickles, fat slices of homegrown tomatoes, grilled red onion, cheeses of all kinds, and of course condiments like ketchup and whatnot. On a serious note, butter and grill those buns! It is the touch that makes all the difference.
Watermelon Paloma
No, this isn't really a Paloma. It's missing the one key ingredient (grapefruit) that distinguishes a Paloma from most other tequila cocktails -- and instead calls on watermelon, that quintessential American summer treat, to do fruit duty.
Raspberry Fizz Cocktail
This fruity cocktail is the perfect drink during the summer when the berries are in season, ideal for parties, gatherings or as a pre dinner aperitif.
Brad Spence's Salted Butter Semifreddo
This is an anytime, any season pantry frozen treat -- no ice cream machine required. Spence serves it year-round at Amis in Philadelphia, on blueberry tarts and in hot fudge sundaes, over spiced pound cake and yeasted waffles, and blended into maple milkshakes. Adapted from Amis Restaurant in Philadelphia, PA. Note: The eggs in this recipe aren't cooked. Just buy them from a trustworthy source -- Spence's come from Green Meadow Farm in Gap, PA -- or you can use pasteurized eggs.
Sage Potato Chips
The best thing about these is that you can prep the potato slices in advance and refrigerate them layered with paper towels, then fry them up when you're ready to serve.
Tomato Graté
Growing up, my grandparents had a vegetable garden, and around this time of year, crates of tomatoes would start lining up along the back of their house. Some were canned for winter but most ended up on the table roasted and crusted with breadcrumbs, garlic and parsley. These tomatos are ubiquitous on the Romganolo table, and quite possibly the best food in the world.
Stuffed Mushrooms
For some reason it seems as if all vegetarians are automatically required to like mushrooms because that is the considered “meat” for vegetarians. Unlike most vegetarians, I never liked mushrooms...unless they're stuffed with cheese...mmmm!
Jennie Cook's Zucchini Butter
It turns out zucchini wants to be butter. Grated fine, it cooks down quickly, pooling into a soft, freckly green pile. Try this pure distillation recipe now!
Corn, Avocado, and Mango Salad
This salad is more of an idea than a recipe. I hate measuring, which is why I generally don't post recipes on the site. But I was so pleased with this simple yet delightful combination of flavors that I figured I'd share--if only to inspire others to create their own fresh take on this summer side. I served the corn salad with halibut, but I'm sure it would taste great with trout and almost any other white fish or protein, or taco, for that matter. All measurements are approximated as is the serving size. I wouldn't worry, though. This salad would be very hard to mess up if you use the guidelines I've provided below. Enjoy.
Rhubarb Lemonade
I made this lemonade after wanting a simple way to taste fresh rhubarb without cooking/baking/mixing it with much of anything at all. I choose dark stalks for dramatic color.
Apricot Jam
I love spring/summer for all the fresh fruits we get to eat! I saw these beautiful apricots at Whole Foods and grabbed a few hoping to make a chutney. I was planning a dinner party with some friends so I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone, I put together a cheese platter just so I could use my new cheese board I got as a birthday gift last year and I made apricot jam instead of chutney to go with the cheese.
Louisa Shafia's Watermelon, Mint & Cider Vinegar Tonic
Even if drinking vinegar sounds like a dare—and maybe that's why you ordered it—it's anything but. It's sweet and sour and icy-cold. It vibrates and clangs with fruit and vinegar, and soothes with sweetness and mint. It is the most refreshing drink you will have this summer. And because it's a grown-up drink without alcohol, you can take it on a picnic, at any park, without having to look side-eyed at cops that might pass by. From The New Persian Kitchen (Ten Speed Press, 2013).
Basil Vinaigrette
This has become a signature salad dressing for me. Drizzled over soft butter lettuce, it is one of my simplest and most requested sides by my customers. The trick is blanching the basil leaves so they keep their vibrant color, and using a very powerful blender to get it nice and smooth.
Homemade Lemonade with Mint
The perfect quencher on a hot day. Nothing beats a zesty drink to cool and refresh when the sun is shimmering outside. Anything lemon based is ideal and here you have the option to add ginger or mint to make this even more fragrant and summery.
Basil-Lemon Sweet & Savory Meringues
I can't resist a good sweet-savory combination, especially when served in a delicate, bite-size package like this recipe. These meringues are fresh and fun.
nosh
This casual plate of clementines, pistachios cranberries and dark chocolate is a favorite nosh and servers unlimited guests when continually refreshed (yes, someone ate the chocolate).
