Pappardelle with Seafood, Italian Parsley and Fresh Tomato by Mario Frittoli

Chef Mario Frittoli of ________ offers us a new version of a traditional Italian seaside dish. Sounds delicious to me! And it's really very easy to make. [Translator's Note: As in in so many Italian recipes, Chef Mario does not give measurements. I've added some suggested measurements here for English-speakers but feel free to…

Italian Meatballs by Salad Foodie

Years ago I had an Italian neighbor who became a close friend. I always commented on her delicious meatballs and one day she shared the recipe with me. I have made them ever since about the same way. You can vary the meats using what's on hand, but I usually select lean ground beef, turkey, chicken or lamb, with an equal amount of…

Chicken Cordon Bleu - Schnitzel Style! by Salad Foodie

I fell in love with veal cordon bleu prepared schnitzel style in restaurants while living in Germany in the late 60's. But stateside, veal was hard to come by when I first began to replicate the recipe, so I subbed chicken breast. I have come fairly close to the 'authentic' versions my memories provide of this delicious main dish. I…

Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & Herbs by Amos Miller

Eggplant has nothing to do with eggs - unless you dip and bread them. This sauce is a knockout! We grow 'Casper', an heirloom small, long white eggplant. It's mild in flavor and perfectly suited to thick, rich vegetable sauces. When cut into dime-to-quarter-sized disks, I have found Casper to be a perfect addition to other late…

Dans Southern, Mexican Cornbread by Daniel Brock

This is my own recipe that had some influence from my brother with our love for the south and the southwest. Goes great with a nice juicy thanksgiving turkey on a cool day.

Cornbread, Jalapeno Maple Bacon by Amos Miller

When the daytime temperature hits around 50 degrees and the evening plunges to 30 or lower, it is time to begin the annual maple syrup processing in our neck of the woods. We use it for many things and one of them is this cornbread. I first had a jalapeno cornbread in Texas, made by my sister's cowboy husband's aunt Netha, and…

Always so special - Green risotto by Citronetvanille

Riso verde is a specialty I used to eat at our family restaurant in Italy, I haven’t eaten it anywhere else. My dad’s relatives have un’albergo-ristorante (an hotel and restaurant) Al Lago in San Lazzaro that also has a restaurant where they make wonderful specialties like this one.

Country Thyme by H. Joseph Ehrmann

The beauty of this cocktail, beyond its refreshing flavor, is threefold: it is simple to prepare yet appears very esoteric (it’s a blueberry lemonade with thyme in it); it is an incredibly versatile formula (you can switch the berry for whatever is in season, or you can change the fruit herb combo to strawberry/mint, strawberry/…

Pear & Fig Chutney by Amos Miller

I still had a few pears from the orchard and the figs are almost finished. Why not a Pear & Fig chutney? Easily done! This is everything a chutney should be. The flavors of the pears, combined with the figs' texture and sweetness, the plump raisins and blend of vinegars easily marry to the aromatic spices. And a quality cracked…
