Split Pea Soup with Country Ham and Cornbread Croutons

Split Pea Soup with Country Ham and Cornbread Croutons by Nikki S. Moore

My pantry is small and I carefully curate the kitchen necessities that fill it. You won’t be surprised to find things like olive oil, pecans, quality balsamic vinegar, and cans of fire-roasted diced tomatoes on my shelves, but the presence of country ham may be a bit unexpected. After all, with so many varieties of cured meats, it…

Fruit Bread

Fruit Bread by Walter

We have started an amazing little cheese board in one of our outlets, called The Living Room. Here we serve a cuisine which we like to call personal dining. This means, the chef goes to see the guests during breakfast, asks them what they like to have and then will cook a personal menu for them for either lunch or dinner or both. Of…

Strawberry Ice Cream

Strawberry Ice Cream by Lisa Cooks

Strawberry Ice CreamThis evening, my husband Ed and I looked at each other with a look you get to know after about a year of marriage. Oh we wanted it bad. We had: the look of ice cream.Then I realized we had heavy cream so we could make our own. But we didn’t want plain old vanilla. Ed suggested we use the frozen strawberries that…

Lulu Kebab

Lulu Kebab by Lisa Cooks

Lulu KebabLulu kebab is ground lamb with spices. The traditional way to cook it is by forming it into logs around a skewer. However, this is pretty tricky so my family just broils or BBQs them off a skewer. You can even make them into patties like hamburgers. I’ve substituted ground beef and ground turkey for the lamb before and it…

Brussels Sprout Slaw with Dried Cranberries, Pecans, and Bacon

Brussels Sprout Slaw with Dried Cranberries, Pecans, and Bacon by Nikki S. Moore

Many people do not like Brussels Sprouts. This is a fact. I teach cooking classes and offer in-home catering and one byproduct of this is that I learn a lot about what people like and don’t like to eat. List broccoli, sweet potatoes, or green beans…

Cookies n’ Cream Ice Cream

Cookies n’ Cream Ice Cream by Nikki S. Moore

I grew up in Florida. Summers were hot. Really hot. Parking lots waved and shimmered before your eyes, things left in the car melted, and by 10 am you were ready to give up on any outdoor fun and retreat inside to the a/c.My family was lucky to have a place on the beach and we spent as much time as we could there during the hot…

On TV: Artichoke and Potato Frittata

On TV: Artichoke and Potato Frittata by Nikki S. Moore

I shared a recipe for a frittata with greens, radishes and goat cheese here on Minced blog in early June. It had been a while since I made a version of this easy and satisfying egg dish and it reminded me of how quickly frittatas come together and just how good they are. One can find inspiration for frittatas in abundance at your…

PUMPKIN PIE

PUMPKIN PIE by Penny Wantuck Eisenberg

My husband adores pumpkin pie, so it had to be one of the first things I learned to make, and I now make it every Thanksgiving . Originally I made a traditional evaporated milk-pumpkin pie , but it wasn’t as firm as my husband would have liked, so I began working with condensed milk. The texture was great, but the pie was bland and…

Julia Child's Reine de Saba by Signe Johansen

Spank me with a spatula but I grew up reading cookbooks from the 60's so Julia was a familiar figure in our family - my Mother's vintage edition of that other doyenne of American cookery Fanny Farmer sat alongside the Great…

JELLY DONUTS FOR CHANUKAH

JELLY DONUTS FOR CHANUKAH by Penny Wantuck Eisenberg

Every year since my kids left home, I vow not to make jelly donuts, and every year (sometimes just in the nick of time before Chanukah ends), I scurry to get them made. I guess there's just nothing that says Chanukah like freshly fried jelly donuts. That fresh, wonderful quality doesn't last long - hours really, and so this year I…
