Y'all, sometimes I just want a really, really good sandwich, one that rises above the standard turkey or tuna. I want every element to be flavorful and well-considered, and I definitely want the sum to be more than the parts. If juices run down my hands and arms, that's great. If I use three napkins before finishing the sandwich, that's great too.
Read MoreThough not a beef burger fan, I do love the idea of burgers, especially during summertime when you can sit outside, crack open a watermelon, pour some sweet tea and enjoy the sunshine. As such, I need non-beef burgers in my repetoire, and I prefer that they not look like pancakes or pucks, sad seconds to the juicy beef patties sharing grill space. I love real veggie burgers but chicken and/or turkey make the best substitutes for the "real" deal. This recipe is inspired by a southwestern turkey burger recipe I once had (white meat and chili) and by a delicious Aleppo-yogurt chicken kebab recipe I found on epicurious (chicken, Aleppo, yogurt). It's lighter than air, super moist and completely satisfying.
Read MoreIn Italy, we ordered an appetizer of small rolls of bread (hot! salty! slicked in olive oil!) served with prosciutto and melted stracchino, in Italian cheese that is wonderful. Though I don't like ham and often dislike cured hams like prosciutto, too, this dish was incredible. Here's my version. Fabulous!

Read MoreMy husband and I lived in Amsterdam the summer we got married. It was the ultimate honeymoon, and we took every opportunity to travel thoughout Europe. On our way to catch the trains from Centraal Station, we always picked up delicious sandwiches from a take-away spot that was en route. These were the best sandwiches I had that summer, in all of Europe, and while I've tried mightily to recreate them, they're just never quite the same. Must be the missing ambience. :)If you prefer oven roasted to sundried tomatoes, simply substitute. As well, roasted turkey is a nice addition.
Read MoreMy husband and young sons love the kofta burgers from a local Lebanese restaurant. So, without the recipe, we started working to recreate these burgers at home. Finally we have a version that is a family (and friend) favorite. Allspice is critical so don't go without. And toasting the coriander and cumin seeds for both the sliders and aioli makes a big difference.
