The featured dish on my plate is a flavorful Hot Italian Sausage and Cherry Pepper Pizza. It’s New Haven-style, and it was the first official meal of our new kitchen!
And here’s what else I’ve been cooking…
All-day Tomato Bisque
Of course, you don’t really need to spend all day making this soup, but the long simmer time makes a world of difference in flavor, especially when using fresh garden tomatoes.
Slow Cooker Cuban-style Pork
Halfway through Hispanic Heritage Month, I put my slow cooker to work for this easy, no-fuss version of one of Cuba’s most iconic dishes.
Sourdough Challah Round
The braiding technique is the easiest thing about these loaves, which are enriched with eggs, citrus-scented olive oil and sweet honey. The recipe takes time, but the reward is as sweet as my wish for you in the Jewish New Year.
Brie & Mushroom-stuffed Meatloaf
And if that doesn’t sound rich and comforting enough, let’s lay it down on a spoonful of French onion pan gravy. Aren’t you glad it’s the first day of fall?
Mexican Street Corn Guacamole
This flavorful twist on a classic guacamole is best made with an ancient culinary tool called a molcajete, but we can all thank Kenji López-Alt for an easy workaround with exceptional results!
Dubonnet & Gin (a cocktail for the Queen)
I spent a royal amount of time tramping around town to find the necessary ingredients for the Queen’s favorite daily cocktail. Was it worth it? Taste and see. 🙂
Miraculous Mayo Marinade
Every now and again, a technique comes along and surprises me, upsetting everything I thought I knew about cooking. This is one of those techniques, and it’s so simple!
Late Summer Succotash with Chicken & Waffles
This meal takes some time to prepare, but the combination of sauteed summer ingredients and lightened-up chicken & waffles is well worth the effort!
Pompatus of Love
True, peaches don’t grow on shrubs, but this delightful bourbon cocktail gets most of its personality from a peach “shrub” that’s so easy to make, I’m wondering why I never tried it before.
