Grilled Peach Crostini
/Grilled peaches nestled atop burrata and grilled bread and drizzled with honey, olive oil and salt- each bite is a blissful revelation!
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.
I made this salad up one night during a bout of inspiration and was incredibly pleased. It is refreshing, zingy and just lovely all around.

Read MoreSince discovering the ease of making (and enjoying) fresh ricotta last year, I've been an ardent fan and rather obsessive maker of it. Most weeks, there's a fresh batch in my fridge, and one of my favorite ways to enjoy it is with lightly-spiced poached figs and their syrup. I also really enjoy using the whey which is great and useful in so many ways. This ice cream combines the use of whey with my favorite fig-ricotta snack.

Read MoreA wonderful, wintry blend of flavors. While delicious as a crostini, I suspect this would also be delicious as a savory dessert, atop french toast or tossed with pasta.
Read MoreAfter making fresh ricotta, you're always left with several cups of lovely whey. I never knew what to do with it so would toss it guiltily, but recently on Food52, one cook made polenta with her leftover whey. This got me thinking about other uses and this recipe was born.
Read MoreThis is from Bon Appetit's Andrew Knowlton. He calls for apple bourbon if you have or make it. Regular bourbon will definitely suffice, but not the difference in amount of honey used. Medicinal! Yum!
Read MoreI improvised on two whole grain bread recipes to create this. It's assertively whole wheat but has great moisture.

Read MoreTom and I found a version of this fantastic recipe years ago and have been adapting it to our taste ever since. This is fiery, so if you want less heat, reduce the amount of hot paprika and/or cayenne.

I cannot adequately describe my love for this tart nor am I willing to tell you how many I make and eat during plum season. Suffice it to say that this is a truly outstanding, scrumptious, perfect, should-be-your summer dessert!
