Corn Fritters by Ryan Fillhardt

Georgian Eggplant with Walnut by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious dish that I had in a Georgian restaurant in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was delicious, and this rendition does it supreme justice. This will taste best if you use asian eggplant (chinese, japanese, etc.) which is much thinner than regular eggplant and had smaller and fewer seeds. Makes a great appetizer that can…

This was an outstanding dish that we served last night with a lamb tagine. It's fairly easy to put together, and will fill your house with wonderful smells! The sweetness is a nice accompaniment to a spicier dish.

Cream cheesie corn by Glenn

I was given the chore of coming up with a new side dish for Thanksgiving. I like corn--particularly when I am eating. I like cream cheese--only when I am eating. Voila, an idea is born.

Brown Mujadarrah with Tangy Yogurt by Jennifer @ T-Bones and Tofu

After undergoing phase two of what will hopefully be my only root canal ever, I wanted something comforting, delicious and easy to chew for dinner. And, as you can imagine, after such a long day, it wouldn’t hurt if that something was simple to make. Enter mujadarrah. If you aren’t familiar with this middle eastern staple, I urge…

The flesh of this melon is ivory to cream and can become a pale yellow with striations and mottling on the outside when fully ready to consume.…

Fettuccini with Broccoli Rabe by Suzi

There are times when you just can't say no to pasta. This dish is faily easy to prepare. Broccoli Rabe was in a prominent spot in the produce section the other day and that goes very nicely with pasta. I whipped up an Alfredo sauce and added in sun-dried tomatoes (still on the sun-dried tomato kick). You might consider this a…
