The Flavor is Beyond Words...๐Ÿ’œ


Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ

After 15 years of professional recipe development I don't think I've ever come across a more vibrant flavor...

โ€‹Black Raspberry Vinaigretteโ€‹

It's berry picking season and I'm sharing a few recipes that can be made with just a handful or two of your precious finds.

The rhythm of summer produce is so satisfying. We're not ready for stone fruits or ripe melons just yet, but oh, the berries! If you're lucky enough to be able to pick your own, it's the ultimate experience, and these recipes won't deplete your hard earned stash.

Are you plucking your fruit from the produce aisle? No worries, that works too!

Using berries as a garnish is one way to make use of small amounts of perfect fruit:

These individual desserts can be customized to any size:

More fun recipes that require just a handful of berries!

โ€‹Sweet Corn Polenta with Shrimp ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

โ€œ
My husband loves creamed corn and polenta, so when I saw this beautiful recipe, I had to try it. We loved it! We kept going back to the kitchen for snitches ๐Ÿ™‚ after our dinner. We are so thankful there are leftovers for lunch the next day! Thank you for a wonderful recipe!
I also liked the idea of using whole milk to keep the polenta creamy.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isnโ€™t that what itโ€™s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

Lemony shrimp and beans

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ I get recipe ideas from all sorts of sources...friends, restaurants, old magazines...but surprisingly, not so much from cookbooks anymore. I have a library full of them, but I donโ€™t seem to reach for them as often as I used to. One source of continual inspiration has been The New York Times. Their food style really resonates with me, probably because I was born and raised there, and I think our food DNA gets set pretty early. New York is definitely in mine. Todayโ€™s shrimp and...

Green tahini sauce

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ Happy Sunday! It happens at the end of every season, I start pumping out all the recipes that you neeeeeed to see before the big change comes and it's too late. It's hardest in summer, when peak tomatoes meet a wall of Halloween candy and all bets are off. But green tahini is actually a pretty perfect transition recipe. Yes, itโ€™s made with masses of fresh green herbs, but itโ€™s also made for slathering, dunking, and dipping all those fried and faux-fried foods that start sounding...
