Baklazhannaia Ikra (Poor Man’s Caviar)
Egg KimMuffins
I recently discovered that an H Mart was within driving distance from my house. I went to check it out, left with a cart full of fun stuff, and have been experimenting with all the new Korean ingredients I found. I've really been liking kimchi on sandwiches paired with different kinds of cheeses, and this is my favorite of the moment.
Salt-Roasted Pears and Apples with Caramel Sauce
I would like to share a delicious recipe for a Holiday snack or a light desert, which I learned while watching the show “Mad Hungry” a few days ago and made it this morning. I did not have Bosc pears and roasted 7 small Anjou pears. They came out perfect and since I was left with all the salt and inspired by the result, I decided to roast 6 small Honey Crisp apples and even 1 Kiwi, which were starring at me from the fruit vase. As you can see in the photos, it is a fantastic and versatile recipe not only for pears. Thanks’ to Lucinda.
Sweet Hots
This is my take on jalapeno wonton poppers, the recipe you see all over the internet where cheese is combined with jalapeno peppers, wrapped in a wonton wrapper, fried and dipped in a sauce. I put the sauce right in and form into a mini egg roll making for a nice little sweet and spicy bite (or two).
Orange Blossom Candied Cranberries
This recipe makes bright, orange blossom candied cranberry gems that look beautiful in a glass bowl, and are so easy for your guests to pop in their mouths.
Nacho florets
This Nacho Cupcakes recipe is made in a muffin tin. The basic ingredients are tortillas, beans & cheese. Any other topping beyond that is entirely up to you.
Martha Rose Shulman's Harissa
Harissa is that fiery paste used in Tunisian cuisine. You can get it in tubes, but the homemade version tastes much fresher. Make a note on the label to top up with olive oil whenever the harissa is used so that it will keep for a long time.
Genius Cauliflower Soup From Paul Bertolli
This cauliflower soup recipe for creamy, incidentally vegan cauliflower soup from Paul Bertolli comes together easily, deliciously, and without cream.
Blackberry Champagne Cocktail
An elegant cocktail with fresh blackberries soaked in brandy, champagne, and lindeman's framboise!
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.
Green and Red Endive Boats
Last year was my first Christmas away from home. At the time, my boyfriend was still living in France, while I was in graduate school in New York--not an ideal situation, let me tell you. Since he had visited me here over the summer, I was making the trek there for the holidays. We spent a week with his family in La Rochelle, a sea-side town famed for its oysters. Christmas day dawned bright and cold and with picnic baskets in tow, the whole family walked the short distance to the beach. Out came Champagne, boudin blanc and chevre and lardon toasts. There were also slivers of crisp endive, which my boyfriend's mother (an excellent cook) had topped with creamy Roquefort. I thought the slightly bitter endive made great vessels for party food, and when I got home, I started playing around with my own ideas. A week later, my boyfriend got word that he would be transfered to New York. We will return to France together for Christmas this year, where I hope to come home with at least one new recipe!
Vanilla Bean Applesauce
A simple applesauce gussied up with vanilla beans. This apple sauce can be canned using a water bath canner, but it never lasts that long in my house! It does make a really great gift and my in-laws request as soon as fall hits. It can easily be doubled, just make sure to use a very large, wide pan.
Easy Breezy Brussel Sprouts
Super simple but delicious side dish. Not only does it pair well with most meat dishes, it also makes a tasty snack. It is a take off of an Ina Garten recipe, only easier and quicker!

Chai spice blend
There is no single formula for Chai spice. it varies from brand to brand & home to home. Indian Masala tea comes in many many flavors and every one of them is deliciously unique. From a simple addition of smashed fresh Ginger root & crushed cardamom to complex blends incorporating a dozen spices.. My preferred method of ginger root & cardamom only gets me so far as a cup of chai, so I cobbled up a mix of 5 spices (inspired by Chef Raghavan Iyers newly launched line of spices, turmeric trail).. While its near impossible to decipher the exact proportions of the spices used in the commercial version, I used the list of ingredients on the package to come up with my own. Its been through a rigorous set of testing on regular spiced chai as well as experiments with hot chocolate , a version of chai spiced shortbread, and my thanksgiving apple and pear pie!. The flavor of the blend is pretty intense and all you need is about 1/4 th of a tsp for a strong cup of chai or chocolate. Classic case of a little goes a looong way. Its not worth making larger quantities unless you're planning to make industrial amounts of tea.
Fresh Homemade Mozzarella

Mashed Potato Korokke
This Mashed Potato Quenelle recipe is my favorite way to utilize leftover mashed potatoes. This is an easy recipe you can do at home, with basic ingredients.
Braised Carrots With Cumin and Red Pepper
This recipe calls for braising the humble carrot in olive oil and garlic, then seasoning with toasted cumin and red pepper. They taste good hot or at room temperature which makes them ideal for a large dinner party or potluck. Use real carrots and peel your own. Which is not to say that those miniature peeled carrots in bags aren’t real, but, convenience aside, they often lack true carrot flavor.
Caramelized Turnips With Capers, Lemon and Parsley
Cauliflower With Curry Butter
These days, I would like some side dishes that add interest to the otherwise relatively bland (and unrelentingly rich) Thanksgiving table. I want vegetables so flavorful they could nearly double as condiments. So, cut cauliflower into the tiniest florets possible. This takes a little longer, but the results are worth it. You get something delicate, which is not a word usually associated with this vegetable. Cook the florets briefly, then toss them with a little curry-flavored butter, some chives and a squeeze of lime.
dead simple roasted brussels sprouts
The best thing about this is that it is so quick! The caramelization of the brussels sprouts is delicious and you can vary it a lot, depending on what you like. I think cooking them so that they are still a bright green brings out their natural sweetness, and avoids the cabbagy-sulfuric nasty taste that turn many people off Brussels sprouts. I like roasting garlic along with the brussels sprouts, and you can squeeze the yummy mellowed roasted garlic out of its skin as a little treat in between the crunchy and bright brussels sprouts. I have to thank my friend Ori Cosentino, a professional chef, who turned me on to the idea of pre-heating the baking tray. Check out her food blog at upchefcreek.com.
Isabelle's Cognac Punch
This recipe comes from my boyfriend's mother, Isabelle. I originally asked for her spiced wine recipe for this contest, which I tried last Christmas, ladled from a pot heated over the wood-burning fireplace in their family room. She told me that she didn't really have a written recipe for her spiced wine; it was just a little of this and a little of that, but offered me her Cognac Punch instead. Since she comes from Cognac, it feels extra authentic. This punch would be great for any holiday party, because it looks and tastes so festive!
Honey Applesauce
One of my favorite fall activities is apple picking and creating delicious recipes with the bounty I have picked throughout September and October. I have made a few different applesauce recipes in the past but thought I would try something a little different this year. I decided to add just a bit of honey in with the apples. The flavor really comes through without detracting from the delicious taste of the apples. This recipe yields a small quantity but it can be easily doubled or tripled.
