How to Make Buckeye's
My Mom’s Buckeye recipe. She always made them every Christmas and my son Jimmy loves them.
Death-By-Cheese Dip
Sinfully delicious! Serve with tortilla chips, soft pretzels, quesadilla, breakfast burrito...anything that tastes good with cheese basically!
10-Minute Parmesan & Mustard Pinwheels
This is a great, simple hors d'oeuvre to throw together for last-minute entertaining.
Taiwanese Turnip Cake
I've seen the 2 generations of women in my house making turnip cake with their eyes closed, as I, myself, now living abroad, often miss my mom's turnip cake- steamed, sliced and pan fried until crispy on the exterior and bursting of daikon deliciousness in the middle. This recipe focuses on the shredded daikon, so try to buy fresh daikon: no additional cornstarch needed, nor chinese sausage, shiitake mushrooms etc. The secret? Letting the mixture sit overnight. Can be kept in the fridge up to 4 days.
Zuppa di Clams With Savory Crouton
For this zuppa di clams recipe, copious amounts of fresh and canned clams sit on a generous "crouton" of savory Bread flavored with Garlic and Pecorino Romano.
Belgian Rice Pie
A typical Belgian desert. Belgians families and friends love to get together on Sunday afternoon to eat pies of all kinds and this is one of them. I usually make the pie crust myself as well.
Herb-Rubbed Roast Turkey
Pappa di Pomodoro
For me this soup will always conjure warm memories of four college girls crowded around a table in a chilly apartment in rome. When I studied there with a few of my best friends we saved our pennies for travel, wine, and the occasional pizza from the shop downstairs. On rainy days I would make big kettles of this soup for just a few euros and we would stuff ourselves with it while we imbibed in jugged red wine. Because the main ingredients are used in equal parts, it's really easy to scale this recipe based on the number of people you're serving, or how hungry you are. This one's for my girls, Mary, Andrea and Brooke! xx
Canal House's Cranberry-Port Gelée
This port gelee recipe is a DIY cranberry jelly for anyone who loves the stuff in the can (and even the ones who don't). This recipe is great!
Nana's Homemade Applesauce
Once you’ve had a homemade recipe, you will never, ever, ever go back to store bought applesauce. Trust me. I won’t eat any other kind of applesauce anymore.
Spa Drink
I'm not a fan of cocktails that involve syrup or simple sugar cause they give terrible hangovers, but this Spa Alcoholic Drinks recipe perfectly walks the line.
Black Rice Pudding with Mango & Mint
This black rice pudding recipe is divine! The sweetness of the mango allows the pudding to be made less sweet but feel free to add more sugar if you'd like.
Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée
Delicata Squash Chips
The sugars in the delicata squash caramelize and yield that crispness, rather than the starch frying up in a high temperature oven. This chip recipe is a must!
Butternut Squash Pesto Pizzettas
Adapted from Eric Gower’s recipe in The Breakaway Cook.The variations are endless–goat cheese, pistachios, walnuts, sage pesto, feta, and more.
Four Ingredient Strawberry Martini
I had to attempt to make this strawberry martini recipe from Lure Fishbar in NYC. I accidentally may have ordered two because it was perfectly sweet and delish.
Home made spiced Paneer
Tongle tickling variation on the regular Paneer. You won't find this flavor in any store bought brick! I first tasted this Paneer (Fried into a Pakora) at Chef Vikas Khanna's restaurant Junoon. The flavor induced such an AHA moment and Chef Khanna was gracious enough to mention that the Paneer was made from scratch everyday at the restaurant. Not sure what other spices went into the Junoon Paneer, and quite frankly, I did not ask,I preferring to create my own version. Pepper & coriander were definitely in the cheese. Feel free to adjust the amount of spice to your personal preference
Childhood Zucchini Pancakes
There are million zucchini pancake recipes, but this is the one my mom made. Almost every week when I came back from school there was a plate full of warm little pancakes waiting for me. Today I make them for my daughter and her little buddies, and they love it. Often I substitute zucchini with a different vegetable – carrot, broccoli, peas – they clean up their plates not knowing that they have been tricked into eating a healthy meal!
Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary, Truffle Oil, and Parmesan
If there is one way I like potatoes, other than french fry recipes, it would have to be the slow roasted form and topped with rosemary and parmesan.
Cucumber, Green Bean and Dill salad
This one originally draws from Mark Bittman. It's refreshing in the summertime and goes well with everything. Use equal parts cukes and beans, and cut them into equally sized bites.
White Peach and Rosemary Jam
I really enjoy a sweet yet savory jam. Such a treat allows you to escape the cloying nature of many fruit preserves but also provides flexibility in that your jam is no longer relegated to breakfast or PB&J (not that jam should be, but it often is). Anyway, still enjoying my plum-basil jam in such a major way, I decided to savory up my sweet white peaches from last weekend's farmers market. Rosemary, black pepper and Cognac did the trick nicely, and this will be absolutely wonderful with cheese, on a good whole grain bread or baguette, and in many other ways.
Iced Mint and Citrus Tea
This recipe is inspired by a tea I get every Saturday at my local Greenmarket -- as my mother would say, I "diagnosed" and then "reproduced!"
Blueberry Basil Infused Vodka
Made with simmered blueberries and leafy basil, this recipe's complex vodka infusion captures the essence of summer. Fresh, light and wonderfully fragrant.
Goat Cheese & Fig Pizza
Creativity was at its peak and I came up with this combination. I thought the pizza turned out to be a bit dry so I'd add caramelized onions next time. Just melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a non-stick pan and cook 1/4 cup sliced yellow onion until they turn light brown.
