Mrs. Larkin’s Royal Wedding Scones

March 05, 2012/ Em-i-lis
Mrs. Larkin’s Royal Wedding Scones

Mrs. Larkin, a foodie friend, is one hell of a baker. Also known as the Scone Lady of Pound Ridge, I think this recipe is one of her best. These scones are lighter than air, and every bite sings. They're also simple to make and easily adapted to alternate flavor profiles.

Chicken Kiev

Chicken Kiev

An absolutely divine, perfect dish adapted from Cooks Illustrated. This is a time-consuming dish but well worth it. This recipe makes four Kievs; even if you don't plan to eat all four at the time of making, make them all and freeze your extras. You'll be glad you did!

This is the traditional recipe for Egyptian brown fava beans. They are the epitome of comfort food- hearty, flavorful and they'll stick to your ribs. This is my very slight adaptation of Claudia Roden's recipe.

Coriander Sugar Poached Figs

Coriander Sugar Poached Figs

There are many lovely ways to use figs; poaching them takes figs in a different direction, toward the sweet, soft, just-spiced realm. These are light and delicious, especially if you spoon them and their juices atop fresh ricotta.

Delicious sweet-hot chutney; great with cheddar, roasted meats...I found this recipe in the New York Times. It's from Tart and Sweet. I once ran out of raisins so subbed currants; also terrific.

Not-Deviled Deviled Eggs

March 04, 2012/ Em-i-lis
Not-Deviled Deviled Eggs

I have never liked deviled eggs. Unless yolks are well-scrambled or fried, I just can't get on board, and plain, hard-boiled yolks are the absolute worst. That said, I love egg whites and the idea of deviled eggs as a snack. So, these!

Simplicity at its best. A lovely alternative to the lemon squeeze is to warm the zest of 1/2 lemon in hot olive oil, let cool slightly and then pour over the prepared salad.
