Turkish Red Pepper & Walnut Dip by John SpottiswoodI've had this appetizer numerous times at my favorite nearby Turkish restaurant, New Kapadokia. I finally made it myself for a number of guests and it was a big hit. Slightly sweet, slightly spicy, and very flavorful. I served it with high quality hummus and babaganoush, and the red pepper dip was the most popular. Give it a try! |

Parmigiana di melanzane (Eggplant Parmesan) by Frank FarielloBeing a lover of good food, I find it almost impossible to answer the question 'what's your favorite dish?' But if I had to, my answer would probably be eggplant parmesan--parmigiana di melanzane--the way Angelina used to make it. This is a simple dish to make, but it involves several steps. Allow yourself a good two hours to… |

Chilled Italian Zucchini Appetizer by John SpottiswoodThis is a fantastic recipe that I adapted from Marcella Hazen. She recommends serving this at room temperature, but I've had a similar broccoli appetizer at a great local Italian restaurant and they chill it, so I thought I would too. I think it would be great either way. If it's hot out, and a chilled appetizer would be nice, then… |

In this recipe, CES chef Cosimina Anelo, from the region of Calabria, shows you how! Note: The only real trick to this easy dish is finding the right kind of small, round 'cherry' peppers.

Asparagus bread pudding by Chris PatilIt’s spring, the asparagus is in, and it sometimes seems like there aren’t enough ways to eat it. This dish can stand alone as a vegetarian entrée or serve as a hearty side dish alongside roast chicken or fish. My guests have compared the consistency to a calzone. This is a fairly forgiving recipe though I would caution against… |
