Tuesday Night At The Sonoma Farmers' Market And A Santa Rosa Plum Crostata by kathy gori

Hot Feta and Artichoke Dip by misty

One of my favorite recipes, which I've tweaked to my own preferences. For instance, the original recipe calls for pimentos, but I find them redundent as they add nothing to the flavor and little to the appearence. Since they're spendy anyway, I skip them altogether or replace them with finely diced kalamata olives to add to the Greek…
