Minestrone d'inverno

Minestrone d'inverno by Luna's Recipes

There is nothing better on a cold winters day than a nice, hot bowl of authentic minestrone. It's a very forgiving and versatile dish, you can adapt the vegetables to suit seasons, preferences, occasion or just simply what you have in the fridge. For the winter version of minestrone, I personally tend to just change the pulses and the…

Cauliflower Canapés

Cauliflower Canapés by Denise Romeo

Cauliflower is highly under-rated! It is good served hot in casseroles, cold in salad, pickled, or even in soup. The first time my husband made this cauliflower puree, I was skeptical, but now it is one of my very favorite appetizers.

Squash Blossoms, The Edible Flowers And How To Fix Them by kathy gori

This is the time of year when squash blossoms are found in Farmers Markets all around Sonoma. If you've never cooked or eaten squash blossoms, well then you've missed one of the big pleasures of the summer garden.

Zucchini Fettuccine al Pesto

Zucchini Fettuccine al Pesto by CrunchyLettuce

Who doesn’t crave pasta? I certainly do. Classic comfort food, right? But no one wants to wake up in the morning with carb face :) The solution: raw zucchini “noodles”! Don’t underestimate the simplicity of this dish. This pesto really is delicious. And the noodle texture is surprisingly similar to regular fettuccine noodles.

Bread Soup

Bread Soup by Judy Rodgers

Here is an easy-to-remember recipe for delicious, hearty Tuscan-style bread and vegetable soup. It calls for equal amounts of each vegetable, and then you build the soup starting with the firmest vegetables, finishing with the tenderest ones. You can certainly adjust, or estimate, the amounts of any or all ingredients, but if you’ve…

A Fast, Cooling Soup For A Spring /Summer Starter!

A Fast, Cooling Soup For A Spring /Summer Starter! by kathy gori

Many, many, many years ago grasshoppers, when I was young and impressionable, I bought a set of Real Deal Cordon Bleu Dinnerware. The big sized bistro stuff. This was back in the day when it was still made in France. It was also back in the day when I thought I'd never be cooking for more than 6 people. This made the dinnerware…
