tahini dip ~

Entertaining at the last minute...friends just drop by to enjoy some Holiday cheer. This is a great dip for a quick go to crudite platter. But I also have it in my fridge to thicken soups and stews. It works marvelously without having to add a flour based thickening agent. I used our Sun Dried Tomato Sous Salt but once again any of our salts would work. Pictured in the other little Arte d'Italic bowl is a fresh tomato salsa that I made with those wonderful red and green veined tomatoes. ingredients 2 T Tahini 1 clove of garlic, grated [...]

shrimp curry soup ~

Another quick, colorful and full of flavor dinner that you can prep in no time and serve on a week night. I served ours over shrimp noodles that you can get at the Chinese market. What's terrific about these shrimp noodles is that after you cook the noodles in salted water you can use the water in your curry. It takes on the flavor of the shrimp noodles and it a perfect stock addition. I used the green curry paste that comes in a little jar from Simply Asia but you could use the red curry paste as well. ingredients 1 [...]

seafood chowder ~

This soup came together after a week away with the family. We needed something quick but as always ...it had to be flavorful as well. I used Sea Bass, Shrimp and Spicy Sausage. You could use Salmon, Halibut or Cod in addition or as a substitute. There are so many different kinds of sausages being made today so experiment with some other varieties. There is a chicken artichoke that would be tasty with cod and scallops. I used salsa because it already had the garlic, herbs and tomatoes as a base so it jump started our soup prep. I used our [...]

green bean casserole ~

My sister hosts our Thanksgiving feast every year....we all contribute our culinary treats... mine this year is the green bean casserole ... this year I wanted to add some different touches to the sauce. A few months ago when working on a Gumbo recipe I read that if you toast the flour in a dry skillet to the desired color you add a nuttiness and deep color to the flavor of the flour. I thought aha! that method might be perfect for the additional layer of flavor I wanted these beans to have. So I used a combination of recipes one [...]

farro salad ~

Farro....wonderful, versatile, nutty and satisfying this grain in one of my favorites! This particular salad is just a starting point for ideas. You can add prosciutto or seared pancetta, use a different cheese either feta or parmesan.

tomato, bacon jam ~

I love pestos and tapenades...tomato, olive, artichoke... they are a necessary ingredient in preparing my go to sauces for pasta, vegetables, chicken and meat during the week. Versatile and flavorful they are easily prepped on the weekend and they make weeknight cooking easy and tasty. Recently I discovered tomato bacon jam! Right, who knew you could put so much flavor in a little jar! Being a foodie I love creating my own interpretation of what others are cooking ... putting my own spin on it so to speak. The original recipe I read that peaked my interest was published by The [...]

tomato crostini ~

Summer...summer...summer...ah the flavors of summer! Tomatoes being one of the seasons best gifts. With all the different colors, shapes and tastes of the heirloom tomato market now a days you have a bounty from which to choose to design your own masterpiece. We are plodding through a kitchen remodel and our outdoor kitchen is somewhat limited. However with the flavors and the weather of the summertime we are bravely shouldering through it. These lovely little crostini were created with a toothy sourdough artisanal bread lovingly made by Kneaded by Hand, a beautiful vibrant olive oil, lemon juice from my Mother's lemon [...]

chicken stock ~

Homemade chicken stock is very easy to make and without a doubt more flavorful than anything that comes in a box! You can season it any way you like. I add a few dried porcini mushrooms and a dried Guajillo pepper for an added depth of flavor. The chicken is browned in this particular recipe so it renders a darker, richer stock. If you want a light color stock don't brown the chicken. The stock is very easy and quick to prep....it just needs to simmer a bit on the stove so start it when you are going to be around [...]
